Canada Post, to their generosity, has done this as a volunteer program. They go door to door, and they go out and they nominate people with beautiful front yards, but they've done this out of their own goodwill.
Let's turn it around and say that it was something beyond that, something that was of tangible value to the city for infrastructure, reporting on job sites that, let's say, don't have fencing up or things like that. If there was a monitoring function added to the Canada Post job description, then I think you should be compensated for that and there should be a value to that.
