Part of it is heritage. These people in the rural areas do not like change, and losing their post office would break their hearts. They'd be very upset. They would miss the connection.
They love to talk beside the mail boxes. They like to catch up on who's doing what or what's happening. They ask each other, “How much rain did you get on your grain? Were you able to do your fields? Were you able to get all that done?” There's a lot of community talk together, but also, to supplement their farming, a lot of them do online sales, so they often come in with their parcels to be sent out or ask if I can tell them the price to send out a parcel because they want to charge so-and-so in Nova Scotia to have something mailed.
