There was an article in the National Post who's author kept track of his mail and 90% of the delivered letter mail was ad and junk mail. Our taxes and the prices we pay when we send mail and parcels are there to subsidize what is basically a government mandated spam delivery system.
I wouldn't use Canada Post at all if not for the fact that our internet society is so dependant on it for buying and selling goods online, especially when couriers will rape us with brokerage fees.
