Canada

What percentage of Canadians have to walk to a box down the street right now?

I'm curious, because during these discussions there is all this talk about how having to do that will bring down the whole system, will unfairly affect the elderly or disabled.

Yeah, I'm with you. In fact, in the town I grew up, we needed to drive down to the Postal Office. And people living in apartment buildings need to stop at their mailbox at the bottom floor.

There's no reason for the 'handful' of cases, Canada Post could still have door delivery for people that apply for it. No different than applying for a Handicap sticker for your car.

It all made sense years ago when mail/letters/newspapers were all being delivered to the door.

But collectively we get nothing in snail mail anymore other than adverts. Just about all billing has moved to automatic or online anyway, and like I said for the rare important paper documents, they don't trust that shit in traditional mail anyway.
