The future of the public post office is on the line—take action!
For over 250 years, Canadians have relied on Canada Post to stay connected. While many things have changed over the years, the importance of the public post office has not. Canada Post continues to play an integral role in communities across the country.
But it’s under attack. The corporation is pushing drastic cuts—closing post offices, ending door-to-door delivery, expanding Community Mailboxes, outsourcing to private franchises, and even privatization.
What does this mean? Rural and Indigenous communities will travel farther for mail. Community Mailboxes lower property values and pose safety risks, especially for seniors and those with mobility issues. Franchising replaces good jobs with gig work, and privatization will gut services in unprofitable areas.
Competing with U.S. e-commerce giants shouldn’t mean lower standards. Workers deserve fair treatment, and Canadians deserve reliable, to-the-door service!
Postal workers have a better plan! The way forward is through service expansion, not cuts.
Canada Post can play a key role in strengthening Canada’s economy in the face of uncertainty, offer much needed new services like senior check-ins, postal banking, and community hubs, and bring new revenue to the public post office.
