Canada is not unique in the issues we would face if postal services were privatized. Real world examples exist and it would be foolish to ignore them.
Scotland could fit in my backyard and they can't make it work in private hands? Why?
Come on Cpt Morgan. Until you know the exact reasoning behind it all your arguements have zero validity and are all speculation.
Yeah, sure.. This coming from the guy that has yet to address one single point that I've brought into the discussion.
Without knowing why your arguement are invali aren't they.
Why don't you just ask me or some who does know?
I'll give you some time for the paint to dry so you can walk out of the corner and find out EXACTLY why there are tiered services.
Nope... And generally speaking, I don't do it when I am under stress.
You can answer the questions or not... It's your choice.

The questions are pointless. If you are asking questions based on assumptions then it confirms you don't have a ****king clue.
The answer is available from CanadaPost and I've found it on serveral other postal service sites around the globe.

Just as I thought, no answers, just a bottomless pit of questions wherein the line of questioning changes each time there is a challenge statement.
When you learn why there are tiered services your own questions will be answered all in one big pile.
See above.
Still no clue? That's too bad.
Since I'm a nice guy and know it takes a while for paint to dry. I'll help you out a little.

How can I change how I receive my mail?
We decide how your mail is delivered (referred to as delivery mode) based upon the population, geography and delivery network setup. We cannot change the delivery mode for an address unless we determine there is sufficient change in one of these factors for your delivery route.
This methodology is not unique to Canada.

How can I change how I receive my mail?
- You want to change the way that you receive mail.
- You want to have your mail delivered to a location other than your residence or business.

What failed was your argument that we need to privatize mail because a country in austerity mode hasn't yet.
By comparison, countries like France and Japan are moving away from mail privatization and their citizens widely support these moves.
Yeah, sure.
I suppose that you have some union-backed newsletters to back that up?
For the life of me, I can't understand why there is such a backlash against fixing something that is broken?
I'm not sure how 'broken' it is.
Canada Post turns a profit, unlike other national post offices. Mail delivery is regular and decent. Yes, the workers are unionized. Big deal.
In this recent case, when contract negotiations broke down, the union started rotating strikes, which meant that different areas of the country were without mail service for 1 day at a time. (Oddly enough, the whole country is without mail service today, is this a crisis?). In response, management locked out the workers across the country, bringing delivery to a complete halt, which of course was then termed a major crisis (by all of those who also claim that mail service is an anachronism and no longer needed), prompting the government to rush to legislate them back to work.
Are you sure that the above chain of events shows that the post office, as a crown corporation, is 'broken'? In my view, what's broken is the managers who made the hasty decision to lock out the workers. I'm quite sure this was done simply to ensure the back to work legislation got done before Parliament went on summer recess.
