Default Family opens mail, illegal?

I get letters from time to time that go to my parents house and they open it always. I tell them not to, but they do anyways. It's never anything important but it bothers me a lot. Is it illegal to open someone's mail not addressed to you?

Just have Canada post fwd your mail.

https://www.canadapost.ca/web/en/pro...d_your_mail_wh

It is $90 per year and works great. When we moved we had it forwarded for 2 years to catch all the once a year mail outs (charity tax receipts etc) to make sure the stuff we changed addresses last year made it.

90% just junk mail got fwded but it was worth it for the few things that weren't

Send a glitter bomb to your parents addressed to you with a note that says "I told you not to open my mail".

Forward your mail, or send a bomb to your parents' house, but addressed to yourself, whichever is cheaper. The internet can help you build a cost-effective explosive device, but remember wikipedia isn't authoritative, check your sources.

PS: Don't do both.
PPS: Glitter bomb? No one was ever convinced by glitter.

So you are a few months behind on your subscription to hairy and heavy European ladies quarterly?

What are you asking for exactly? Are you wanting to know if you can turn your parents in to the police for opening your junk mail?

Technically illegal, but no one would ever prosecute or lay charges in the justice system in that situation.

Sounds like you should call your lawyer. Don't post any more details on a public forum.

Maybe Judge Judy will help you settle it.

Subscribe to a hard core gay magazine and have it sent to their house with Sr. Acgold as the name. Use your name but put Sr. in front. Or just use your name. At that point it really doesn't matter... Unless they are cool with you being gay, because that totally blows the joke wide open and then you'd have to think of new holes to screw with them.

You chose mail forwarding, we chose health care. Canada wins.

USPS is not federally funded though.

Why get the mail forwarding? Just change your address with the people / business that send the mail. I moved recently and it look an afternoon or so to get all my addresses changed over - 90% of them were done online.
