No it isn't. Rurral routes and mailbox banks have been in use in Canada for many many many decades. And in areas with lots and lots of older people including my own. Not one ever died of 'picking up mail'. They get it on their way to get food and groceries or run errands. IT's hardly even worth calling an "inconvenience". As far as gov't cheques go the vast majority get them deposited into their bank accounts. It's a null issue. I live in a community that has to go pick up it's mail, there's plenty of elderly, i'm very aware you're completely full of crap.

I grew up with one of them at the end of our dirt road. One of those green, multi box, precursors to the supper mailbox. One lockable compartment for each household. That was back in the days of party line phones. Seems to me there's a huge divide in Canada between city mice and country mice. Lot's of unexploited wedge issues there for liberals to work on. The "raw milk" thing makes me laugh every time I hear Herb-like creatures label it a MAGA freedumb issue. We grew up thinking it was just milk... my kids still laugh at me for giving the milk container a quick up and down shake before pouring it. Edited January 12 by Venandi 1 Quote

We had those rusted out old green "multi boxes" back in the early 80s, and to this day, I still don't know a single person that gets mail directly to their house (and I'm only a short distance outside of Edmonton, not out in the boondocks). And seriously, if THIS is the biggest issue that someone can point to to generate the old "fear the Conservatives because....cuts!!!", then their argument is extremely weak.

One line for the whole town and you had to pay attention to the ring to see if it was for you or not And i'll admit i shake my milk though that's more of a generational thing, my mom and dad (prarie kids) always did and i just got into the habit from a young age. Wasn't till i started going back to their home village in the summers that i realized why we did that Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

How’s that full employment doing now? I see, so that was before the carbon tax and irresponsible and wreckless immigration policies. What feminist policies are you referring to? Quote

And the problem was the Full Employment was never full employment. A lot of it was McJobs that don't pay a living wage (and shouldn't, they're for kids to get work experience) and most of the rest were government jobs that just created that produce no revenue or taxable benefits to Canada. It's fake employment that will bankrupt us rather than help us And now we don't even have any of that. And business investment is falling and GDP per capita is going right along with it. These people just don't understand the depth of the damage that's been done Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
