Thanks Canada Post! Just got some of my packages today, they were shipped from the US and you guys did a great job processing them through customs in a timely manner.

Letter Carriers deliver your mail everyday remember that when it's pouring rain... remember that when it's snowing like crazy... remember that when it's cold outside... remember that when it's icey.... Your letter carrier always delivers your mail..Now here's the punch line. Canada Post wants to take away your letter carriers sick days (ALL there sick days). AND THAT'S NO JOKE!

[@GammieT]

Ever find yourself grinning like a goof while watching Rick Mercer. I do it all the time, except when I burst out laughing. Love the guy!

[@b1gr3d53]

absolutely, even more when they are doing a piece in my city

Santa responds in braille? That's beautiful.

Overworked?

Used to work their. Was at work when this video was shot, so funny to see all the faces I used to work with. Funny thing about Rick is he is so short, he always looks taller on TV.

love being a mail carrier and love rick

[@imaginetheresno]

@hitachi088 Why yes! I DO have an address. I also ensure my driveway/steps are always CLEAR of ice and snow. I ALWAYS offer cold drinks on hot days and the option to use my "facilities" should "nature be calling". (I also offer these choices to garbage removal staff). You've just got to ask any of them! I'm sure they'd think my residence IS a treat from the non-respectful! Peace :D

[@HISHAM931]

Wow I never knew a postman's route was this long (10-15km)

[@ednakrabapoly]

HISHAM931 at least.

[@Mike-sh9ry]

10 years later and we actually have routes of 25km plus.

[@Torontoista]

I believe the operative word is “postal worker”

[@nothappygilmore7634]

That was then. Now they are as long as 40km walking every day. They average 20km per day.

[@SkinnyEMedia]

This place looks more interesting to work than USPS or Royal Mail?

Wow Maybe these postal workers really do deserve their salary

If only the United States Postal Service was this awesome. There is one that's in Noel, MO that is pretty damn good around Christmas.

[@BBC600]

I've also heard of kids mailing letters to North Pole, Alaska.

oh boy i cant wait until my useless crap arrives

[@BothtaweeKelly]

I live like 5 mins. away from the Canada Post office! XD You'll see it at the end of Alta Vista Drive here in Ottawa.

[@imaginetheresno]

FYI Any mall sent to an MP does not require postage. So, if you are annoyed by chain letters (which are illegal) and feel superstitious about the ramifications of ignoring them, just send them to MP's you don't like and you're free!

[@MrStarman1978]

This is an awesome skit!

[@VirginiaCanada]

[@JORDONDAVE]

Since Canada Post CEO Deepak Chopra does not respect private information of Canadian mail we should have him removed since he's only concerned was making profits.

[@MrFernandoBedoya]

I am very disapointed with Canada Post. I've sent an envelope to an office X here in Montreal by Purolator. This X office sent it back to me by Canada Post as a regular mail. Here my nightmare started. Five week later I haven't received my envelope so far. I called the X office and they told me they have sent already the envelope so the responsibility is on Canada Post. I have called Canada Post 3 times, every single time the answer is "no", "I'm sorry", "I can't do anything". Yesterday the answer was different: "Go to the nearest Canada Post office of your home". I said, there's still some hope I can find my documents. I went today to a Canada Post Office (in Plamondon) and I received the same answer: "since there's no tracking number because the mail was sent as a regular mail, there's no way to know where's your envelope". The documents in the envelope are the ones the Canadian Government demands to an applicant wanting an evaluation of the studies they have done abroad (certified copies, official translations, college marks, stamps, forms, etc) It took me 9 moths to collect all of them. Today Canada Post doesn't has an asnwer. I walked to the second Canada Post office (Van Horne and Cote des Neiges)... same answer. I left the office and I saw a Canada Post Truck like 300 meters away on Cote Saint Catherine Street. I ran to this truck and stoped the driver, the Canada Post employee. I explained him my situation. He told me Canada Post delivers millions of mails a day and what I was doing was like "chasing something impossible". I am stressed with this situation, with the answers of Cnada Post. This is not the firsttime it happens to me with this company. ¿How it is possible that this company treats custumers thi way? ¿Why there is no procedure to track regular mail or at least to know where they are? Unbelievable. I don't know what to do.

[@ednakrabapoly]

Fernando Bedoya If you're sending important documents, always get a tracking number. There's no point in asking all these people if you don't have a tracking number. Lesson for next time.

[@Brandon-lv9yh]

if you mail over 100$ and it gets lost they will only refund you 115 $ total in less you contest it witch is stupid id lose 185.00 i hope my item dose not get lost cuz i dont feel like going throw that bull for something i paid for and they should have gotten it anyways

[@Brandon-lv9yh]

if they lost my package then take 185.00 from me im going to be pissed

[@Brandon-lv9yh]

i wasted over 50.00 on shipping where they totally forgot to scan my package and i let it go but it keeps happening 60.00 total right now if they just scan the package it would have been well spent

[@Brandon-lv9yh]

and they said if it happens to get lost id lose 185$ total

[@randallgoguen3463]

Haven't been back to Canada in a while. Does Canada Post still go on stike every year to take Canada hostage for a small raise?

[@TheLCBP]

Think the Post Office is not making money... check it out...

[@mgheichert]

Canada Post is making money ONLY if the overpaid and under worked employees decide they don't want their gold plated pensions. I don't think they will give up their pensions do you? Harper has provided $2.5 Billion to help fund the shortfall in their pension plan. The pension plan *shortfall is still over $6 Billion and growing by $1 Billion a year*. This is because of too little being paid in by workers, employees are able to retire too early and collect too much. Hard to fund a plan when you can COLLECT a pension for almost as many years as you work. They say the Canadian Taxpayer is not on the hook for the shortfall but the UNION has insisted that we will be. PROOF upon request. So lets make the pension plan a DEFINED CONTRIBUTION for younger employees. The worker pays in so much and Canada Post pays in so much. So if you think a company with a pension plan going a $1,000,0000,000 in debt every year is profitable you must be a union man & a fool. Would YOU invest all your money in Canada Post when it is going a $Billion a year in the hole?

[@ednakrabapoly]

ME3 shut uuuuuup

[@stephenbinkley]

no letter carriers no more

[@watermelonineasterhay7430]

Lol My two dogs go frikin nuts every time the mailman rolls by my bay window. They Definitely don't like him on the property. I had a mailman cutting across my lawn. My wife caught up with him one day and asked him if he was interested in doing the lawn repairs needed soon from the new path he was wearing into the grass. His face turned beet red and he didn't know whether too shit, whistle or steal third base hahaha She said it was hilarious, sorry I missed it , seriously though it was a drought and grass definitely didn't need daily walking on it. He didn't walk on it anymore. Good thing otherwise we'd have to release the dogs on him:)

[@68RDRNR]

Huh, I guess there's all types in this world. I used to shovel a pathway through my lawn in the winter to make it easier for the carrier. Only to the property line, when my neighbour met my path in the middle, I knew he was cool with it too. Our carrier was awesome tho, always polite.

[@justanoldman1]

@1runnynose These same people only work about 2 hours a day and they get paid way too much for that. The union is out of touch with the times, we the people are making less than the government union members and their pensions are crazy. It is time to stop these run away unions we just can't afford them.

[@FatJebusGaming]

he needs to be better at his job

[@eacyde]

@speakoutcanada Canada Post is not owned by the government. They are a Private enterprise.

[@turboplazz]

easy there big fellow ....find me a company that wants to do what Canada Post is doing with respect to first class letter mail.....Funny thing is in my lifetime as a consumer I have been served better by regulated monopolies ie. phone gas companies before competition than by competitive companies. Answer me why that is skippy.

[@simontimon2]

The true problem is that it is a monopoly than has made it illegal for companies to compete against it.

[@Ridhwanpop]

lol wtf

[@brockhemming]

Yup, that's definitely worth $26+ per hour of the tax payers' money.

[@billjoe39]

It certainly PAYS to work at the Canada Post store outlets, particularly the franchised ones, where 'staff' ( who also stock perfumes and soap in the drugstore) ROUTINELY overcharge Canadians on larger envelopes and packages, and pocket the difference..... parasites , To prove my point, bring an oversized, internationally bound envelope in to the franchised outlets, ( after previously noting the weight and dimensions) , verify the right price online, then call up Canada Post's slick salesmen and demand a refund for overcharging. They are READY to issue a refund, as they know their employees are routinely cheating Canadians on postage. This proves their guilt.

[@ednakrabapoly]

End Wildlife Services'Needless Killing Of Wild Animals Those people are hired through their respective stores. They're not employed by Canada Post. Believe me, they don't care enough to "scam" you by overcharging. They make minimum wage and get all the complaints and shit from customers without the benefits of actually working for Canada Post. Go outside and get some air. Not everyone is out to get you maaaaaaaaahnnnnn.
