I know on behalf of the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities that the answer would be no, they wouldn't want to lose that service.
I'm a bit of an anomaly, because for 16 years I've chosen to pay to have a postal box, so I don't mind. I make that choice to invest in that flexibility. Other people don't have this need. I'm very fortunate to be able to make that choice versus other people who need the day-to-day service.
