It's nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.

That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

UK for instance has places with delivery twice a day

WTF?? What mail do you guys get that you need it delivered twice a day????

I might get something "important" (i.e. from the government) maybe a few times a month. Bills are nearly all electronic. A few packages are delivered by Canada Post, but none are urgent enough to need even a daily delivery service.

Of course, I'm only speaking for myself. Maybe there are people who still get a ton of mail, but I can't imagine it's the majority.

    My bad, the second delivery became a cleanup delivery to deliver what they forgot or didn't get in in the morning.

    True actual multi delivery stopped in the 50s.
    The UK policy is six days a week and as expedient as possible. I'm sure that is changing slowly
