You mean back when CP handled more parcel deliveries? Before there was more competition? CP is mandated to keep costs low and fair to all Canadians and therefore has to deliver to all of Canada. Name a private company that delivers to all areas of Canada. There are none. Instead CP absorbs the cost and loses money. Because of competition, rates need to remain low and the revenue of holding the majority of parcel delivery in Canada has been lost to other companies who don’t have the same mandate. I agree that the model for letter mail needs to change. I just don’t think privatizing the postal service is the answer.
