Not to mention the visa will be required from June 15, so if someone already bought a trip to Canada and doesn't get visa issued in time, he's screwed.
I'd say that is pretty inconvenient for tourists...

Not sure why the Czechs would play the 'we just found out card', I mean there's a thread about this issue from a while ago on CP, this isn't breaking news.
I also don't really see the issue with having to use the mail as opposed to doing things in person, is that really a complaint? I don't get the chance to stand in line at a consulate in order to hand someone my papers is a complaint?
The final point would be tough on tourists, but I'm not sure what you expect Canada to do about it. This visa wasn't thrown up overnight, if people didn't look into the visas they required what's Canada supposed to do? Setup a guy with a sandwich board sign in downtown Prague?
