Rural mail goodbye?

 

For decades, residents living in rural areas around eastern Ontario could tell they had mail delivered if the flag on their mailbox was up.

Now, they’re being told Canada Post delivery agents will no longer raise the flag because that was never what the indicator was meant for in the first place.........

it seems a little bit odd that given a time when Canada Post is struggling to survive and wanting large raises and wanting to gain more of the market share that they’re going to offer less service and less convenience to the public when they deliver their mail,”


Exactly …...It would seem that SOME 'delivery agents' are determined to drive everybody to alternative methods of sending and receiving important stuff, Email and courier services here I come!
