That's a fair point. So long as it's addressed from a position of "is the community being served well" and not "this should be run like a business". Canada Post has a difficult (and expensive) mandate: to service all of the country, no matter how remote, and the knee-jerk reaction to such headlines is often to privatise which would change that mandate to "earn as much profit for investors as possible".

I'm living in the UK these days, with private post, and private water companies. Things have literally been enshitified, with raw sewage flowing down the river Thames, so I'm concerned when I see such headlines.
