Over 152,100 supporters now
Sep 7, 2014 — Hi
all, just wanted to let you know that we now have over 152,100
supporters and still growing. I am looking into a correctly formatted
petition with the stipulated correct wording for the House of Commons as
they are being extremely picky. I will update as necessary. I have now
created a facebook page at
www.facebook.com/stopcanadapost.
This is where I will post a link to the correct formatted paper
petition once I have it corrected. Please be patient but things are
moving once again.
Thanks to all of you for your incredible
efforts in supporting this cause and keep up the good work. I, for one,
will keep this fight on until the end.

Don't let Canada Post end door to door delivery

Petition by
I wonder, has anyone at Canada Post ever tried to to push a stroller or a wheelchair or a walker through the snow?
I don't think they realize the impact of ending door-to-door mail
delivery when it comes to the parents of young children, to the
disabled, and to the elderly, especially in winter.
Millions of Canadians were surprised and angry to learn they
may have to travel kilometers to get their mail. I am the mother of two
young boys. My youngest has cerebral palsy and uses a walker or
wheelchair to get around. For me, Canada Post’s decision would mean
having to bundle them up and struggle through the snow with a wheelchair
just to get our mail. And I am just one of thousands of Canadians who
must already overcome mobility challenges on a daily basis.
On top of that, 8000 employees are going to lose their jobs
because of this decision! And, we’re hearing that these new “superboxes”
might not be very safe. My grandfather, god rest his soul, was a WW2
veteran and became a mailman. They take their work very seriously
otherwise they would not brave the weather. My current mail carrier is
also proud of the service she provides for the community. Why change
something that is working well for communities across Canada?
This has to be stopped. A lot of people need home delivery
because of their circumstances. Please sign the petition and share this
with as many people as you can. The more people we get, the more solid
the chances will be that Canada post and the government hear our
voices!!
To:
Deepak Chopra, President and CEO, Canada post
Douglas Jones, Senior VP, Delivery and Customer Experience, Canada Post
Stephen Edmondson, Vice President, Customer Relations, Canada Post
Jo-Anne Polak, Vice President, Communications and Public Affairs, Canada Post
Lisa Raitt, Minister or Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, Government of Canada
Please reconsider the plan to end door-to-door delivery, and think about how all Canadians would be affected.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
