Why does someone who doesn't have access to my apartment building mailbox come drop amazon packages in the lobby, instead of a canada post worker who can leave it in a drop box in the mail room and put the key in my mailbox?

Problem is that the prices were originally arranged to that first-class lettermail subsidized the rest of the services. Then the amount of lettermail tanked, and the pricing structure never quite straightened itself out afterwards. Someone has to sit down and rethink it from scratch, and so far no one's been willing to do that.

We still need the postal service, though—it serves smaller and remote communities that the couriers would prefer not to deal with.

1. conservatives hate things the poors can get value from
2. they decided canada post was a business that had to turn a profit, like the Americans did
3. now the books have to balance, because that's how governments fund things with no taxes is by increased user fees so they're more dramatically impacted by the ebb and flow of spending and thus die.
4. then the cons like PP get to laugh into their quiches at the struggles of the poors

This and the Chinese government subsidises their postal service.

Another example of the Chinese undercutting the true cost of products in order to destroy markets abroad, just like they are trying with EVs.

This is why Temu and the others are sending stuff for free.

That's the problem.

Aren’t you precious. lol.

Everything is an evil Chinese conspiracy to some people it's genuinely hilarious, like the whole concept of investing in the manufacturing sector to provide an active economy for a developing nation and basic principles like economies of scale are all just sneaky commie lies and actually the global economy is just a chubby yellow man with narrow eyes twiddling his Manchu mustache and laughing evilly about how his plot to flood the world with cheap goods is going to put hardworking mom and pop American corporations out on the street, after only a few more decades of improving everyone's lifestyle with affordable living.
