    They should have made these changes 20 years ago but political interference prevented it. Hopefully now Canada Post can be more self sufficient.

      They should have let it simply be funded by taxes with zero profit incentive.

      Unfortunately corruption is kind of the defining trait of our society.

        They don’t have a profit incentive, but they are expected to pay for themselves. Until the internet this was a perfectly reasonable ask. Bulk mail (bills, advertising, etc…) effectively subsidized personal mail. Now that that evaporated they’re struggling.
