Canada Post is laying off dozens of managers in an attempt to save money after years of severe financial losses, CBC News has learned.

The layoffs include firing three senior executives last month β€” most notably the company's chief financial officer. Two vacant roles have also been eliminated, resulting in an overall 20 per cent cut to senior management, Canada Post said.

"They're not handling mail or anything like that," he said. "To the public, this will largely be invisible ... this won't impact service," he said.

The Crown corporation, which does not receive taxpayer funding and is expected to sustain itself based on the services it offers, has been bleeding money every year since 2018 β€” totalling more than $3 billion.

I wonder how much the average Canadian's taxes would need to increase to fund Canada Post until it breaks even. I feel like that could find a place in the federal budget fairly easily.

I'd like to see Canada post go to weekly deliveries. If you need it outside your alloted day, you must go pickup.

Instant savings for them from drastic decrease in th amount of deliveries

Delivery twice or thrice a week would probably save so much already.

That’s one way to turn people off from using Canada Post, while the competition offers 7-days/week deliveries, even some doing late night/early morning deliveries with some Amazon couriers.

Good point, I didn't think of that. I had only letters in mind.
