Unions give people the wages they deserve. I don't understand this new neoliberal-type conservatism. (If you can even call it conservatism)
Unions may give people the wages they deserve, but they also keep people who don't deserve the wage in the job. I don't begrudge anyone getting paid. In my experience unions work to drive the performance down to the lowest common level, and a union's sole interest is in having as many members as possible, not helping the business, and therefore the employees, thrive.
There will still be delivery to your postal address, but it will no longer be to your front door. You might have to walk 50 or 100 meters to a cluster of boxes where they put it. What's the big deal?
This is nothing new. When I lived in New Brunswick in 1963, there was no mail delivery to any house in my town, I had to stop at the post office (in a lady's front porch) and pick it up when I drove past.
I have to drive 17 km on gravel roads (one way) to get my mail. That is a 30 minute round trip in good weather.
The generation gap is clearly visible in our attitudes towards mail. As someone born in the 1980s, I hate mail. I hate having to deal with anything important on paper. I prefer to do everything online - banking, paying taxes, paying bills, etc.
I've never seen junk in front of one of those boxes, actually.
This is complete news to me. I had no idea people actually had mail delivered straight to their door, saving newspapers. Honestly, I'd prefer if everyone would just do their stuff online now. We have the technology and there isn't a need to waste all these resources just for physical copies. My brother gets a pay stub mailed to him every week for a job he quit a month ago. Why? It's so so taxing, just email crap like that.
Canada Post has created a new stamp with a picture of Quebec's first female premier, Pauline Marois on it. The stamp is not sticking to envelopes. This has enraged the P.Q., who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and spending $4.1 million, a special commission has presented the following findings:
1. The stamp is in perfect order.
2. There is nothing wrong with the adhesive.
3. The Public is spitting on the wrong side of the stamp. :-)

I have, a few times, but it's been rare. When I lived in a neighbourhood where Superboxes were the mail-delivery method, I (and pretty much all the neighbours) took the junk mail and flyers home to toss in the recycling bin.
I have seen a recycling bin next to a Superbox, but I don't think that was Canada Post's doing--more likely a local homeowner who took the initiative to avoid such scenes as in the posted photo.
