I live in and I represent Calgary. I've lived in small-town Alberta where there are no banks, maybe just credit unions that we had to use. I've happily used credit unions when I could. In Alberta there's a lot of animosity towards the big banks, because they basically abandoned Alberta in the 1980s, so I know what that feels like and I've heard it from people.
Canada Post would have to do all of these things. It would have to train all of its people on the ground and retrain some of them. It just seems like a large cost increase to provide a service that may not work out and may not ensure the financial sustainability of Canada Post.
Is this the best service, or is there something else they should be looking at instead, considering all of these factors?
