What are to positive arguments for it?
I assume someone will say old/disabled people. But if that is a reason why is it only good enough for 40% of Canadians?
I also think group mail boxes have had a hidden environmental impact. Little things like moving the mailbox 500' further away has encouraged some people to use text/email to communicate, which is a green move.
Unless you are talking about the 1.1% part, yes that should have been green.

I'm not talking about the relative merits (or not) of doorway delivery.
You called him a "slacker" making an emotional decision, as his first decision.
Except he hasn't even been sworn in yet, and the decision to suspend the changeover program was made by Canada Post (and likely the Privy Council). They're acting based on what was in the Liberal (and NDP) platform. Based on what voters chose, and working with taxpayer money. When and if Trudeau does request that the initiative be cancelled, it'll be because he ran on it.
It's fine to disagree with stopping the program, but let's get the facts straight without needless name calling. Or yeah, maybe indicate your sarcasm...
