I was unaware of that.
I live in a rural riding. The safety of letter carriers has been mentioned, as well as the safety of customers. In our region, people remain in their homes for quite a long time. Having to walk 500 metres to pick up mail when you're 65 years of age or older is no small feat. There are no sidewalks along rural roads. In fact, Canada Post customers have the same safety concerns as the corporation's employees. Perhaps something needs to be done to make the situation safer for both parties, that is for Canada Post customers and employees alike.
