‘Learn from others’

Dear Editor:

I have had the privilege of visiting family in Australia several times over the past 25 years. I have noticed that Australian Post has evolved. Yes, there is regular delivery. But every major mall or small town business section has a Post Office Store. One can purchase greeting cards of every kind, easy to mail books, puzzles, games, post cards, daily journals, printer ink and paper, and every envelope one can think of. There are even small toys and small gifts. As well, there is a counter for purchasing stamps and mailing letters and parcels. There is even a regular flyer delivered with your mail.

Does Canada Post investigate what other countries are doing to help keep their postal ware viable? We don’t have to “re-invent the wheel,” so to speak. We can learn from others.
