Canada Post to phase out urban home mail delivery

[gocanoeing]

Canada Post is phasing out door-to-door delivery of regular mail to urban residents and increasing the cost of stamps in a major move to try to reduce significant, regular losses.

The Crown corporation announced its plans in a news release Wednesday, saying urban home delivery will be phased out over the next five years.

Starting March 31, the cost of a stamp will increase to 85 cents each if bought in a pack, up from 63 cents. Individual stamps will cost a dollar.

早就该这样了！Amazon都要用机器人送货了，CPC还在挨家挨户送信，太低效了！

唯一的问题是：我买的那些没有价钱的邮票还能用吗？

找到答案了，可以继续用permanent邮票。是不是该去Costco抢P邮票了？

like who cares sending a letter with a stamp on it.... by the way.... they have gazillion pension deficit and guess who is paying them for a super comfortable retirement plan... 3 house in Florida and vacation in Tuscany and world wide cruise every year....
long life the government pensioners... but it will all change in one day believe me
