    What if you live in a very rural place? I shouldn’t have to drive to retrieve my mail which would surely happen as there aren’t enough houses nearby to warrant it being a community box location. I’d likely make sure I receive nothing via Canada Post anymore as much as possible, and they can fill some community box with junk mail until there’s no more room.

      My grandparents live on a farm in rural Canada and have never gotten delivery to their door. They have a PO box at the nearest town which is a 30 minute drive away. They can’t even get anything shipped by a courier because non will deliver to a PO box or outside of town. As far as I know it’s always worked this way, and nothing is changing there.

      Already happening rural places already have community mailboxes and have for a very long time. At least all the relatives I have known. Guess what nobody died and it worked fine.

      Man the entitlement of people who are already the minority of people. When most of Canada already has mailboxes. Hell I didn’t even know door to door service was even a thing till they threatened to remove it last time.
