What percentage of Canadians have to walk to a box down the street right now?

I’m curious, because during these discussions there is all this talk about how having to do that will bring down the whole system, will unfairly affect the elderly or disabled. Yet as someone who grew up in a semi-rural setting, 80% of the people I went to school with had to walk (or stop on the drive home) at a green box for their mail. It’s a very city centric idea that mail has to come right to your door. And in cities, your communal boxes could be fairly close to your house anyways…

I am not and don’t usually propose cutting services.

I am not suggesting this as a good option now.

But it confuses the hell out of me that people think this would be the end of civilized society.

And I would like to fantasize on a future where Canada Post took over all Amazon deliveries. Forcing Amazon (and the consumer) to pay fair wages to unionized post officers and not abuse temporary “independent contractors”. Huge increase in unionized secure jobs…

I like that.
