Canada Post is out of control with delivering this garbage, all went directly into the recycling bin. What a waste.
You linked your new box to the quantity of junk mail received, did you mean to do that?

Just replying to the initial topic because I have dealt with this situation for a long time.

It takes a while to adjust but it's not a big deal.

Simply commenting that when the mail builds up for a few days the amount of junk is tremendous. I had a sticker at my old place, good reminder, will do the same here!

A Calgary homeowner is frustrated after he says he spent three weeks of trying to get Canada Post to move a “super mailbox” next to his yard.

Robert Caron has to repaint his fence and repair his retaining wall, but there is only 15 to 20 centimetres of space between the mailboxes and his property line.

“We contacted Canada Post three times. They told me it would cost $1,600 to move the mailbox.”

Default Canada Post to stop home mail delivery

This is an outrage! They won't move a mailbox!? How d....

Oh wait, they're moving the mailbox at no cost to the homeowner?

Riveting story. Edge of my seat the whole time.

I hate stupid articles. 3 phone calls over 3 weeks? People spend more time waiting for surgery. Get over it.

Why? Media distracting the pubic discourse with irreverent articles hurts society.

Your life must be so fulfilling.

He technically made no judgement on your assessment of the article. Why would you sarcastically imply that his life isn't fulfilling due to the fact that he claimed to hate something on the Internet the same as you did in your original post? Was your original post a covert cry for help because you find your life unfulfilling??

Serves me right.

Complain about the media?

"You're bitching and I hate you."

Respond sarcastically?

"You're just crying for help, he said nothing wrong!"

I never defended what he said, I merely explained that your insinuation of him saying to give writers a break, was unfounded and that it was a little confusing for you to judge his anonymous opinion given the content of your original post. This is now the second post in a row in this thread where you have responded with statements that are misrepresentitive of what the original poster had written.

Humourless? Postal loving? What exactly are you basing that on?
