Dear Editor:
I have noticed that since the postal strike in December that the amount of mail I receive has been slowly declining as the year goes on.
My mail has dropped to only utility bills and government notices and maybe three or four Christmas cards, due to postal rates.
Rarely do I get fliers or junk mail so that now I only go to collect my mail once or twice a week. During this same time period more fliers are arriving in my weekly Wellington Advertiser paper.
So why does Canada Post want to increase mail delivery to seven days a week? My thoughts are they want to recover the parcel business.
I have news for them: you lost it due to inefficiency and you will never get it back again.
To solve the endless requests for government assistance, as they have no plans to make a profit, just sell the whole mess to someone who can do it right. Purolator comes to mind for one.
Paul Roberts,
Fergus
