Just sent this to my MP:

Dear Patrick Weiler

I am writing to you today to stress my significant frustration regarding Bill C-15.

As an able-bodied Canadian, I find it deeply troubling that this legislation is effectively stripping Canadian organizations and individuals of the ability to send and receive essential materials, such as books, letters, used by people who are blind, without incurring postage costs.

We are judged by how we treat the worst off, not the best, and the impossibly minor savings this will grant are not worth how it will impact the differently abled. I've never used, know anyone who has used, or expect to use this saving, but to people that need it its a lifeline.

The long-standing policy of allowing these items to be mailed postage-free is crucial for accessibility and participation in society for the blind community. I urge you to reconsider the implications of Bill C-15 and support policies that maintain or enhance this vital service.

Thank you for considering my concerns regarding this important issue.

I need to write my MP and I will copy-paste what you wrote.
