Canada Post is telling Canadians Junk mail is good for you,
The national postal service has been sending out letters across the country to those with the audacity to post “no flyer” signs on their mailbox, telling the reader they are missing out on “being connected with your local community.”
Canada Post has mailed more than 900,000 of the letters in hopes the recipients might change their mind.
“Your address is part of Canada Posts’ Consumers’ Choice database as a result of having a ‘no flyer’ notice on your mailbox,” read the letter. “You are currently not receiving unaddressed mail delivered by Canada Post that your neighbours are receiving. This includes mail that can save you money and keep you connected with your local community.”
To receive unaddressed mail (i.e. junk mail), Canada Post asks recipients to sign up by sending an enclosed paid postage card and remove their no flyer notices from their mailboxes.
Canada Post spokesperson Anick Losier says the letters were intended to update its Consumer’s Choice program, saying the program has not kept pace with Canadians who have changed their addresses.
STOP unwanted waste delivered to your porch
How to stop unwanted waste delivered to your porch?
1. Call the Canada Post to request no more junk mail: 1-866-607-6301.
2. Adhere a “No Junk Mail” sign to your mailbox.
Stop unwanted newspapers by calling them directly. It’s a tedious job, but someone has to do it, and because many of these papers are opt-out, you are the only one who can take action.

Stop Junk Mail
What is generally known as "junk mail" can be defined as unaddressed mail, including promotional letters, flyers, and brochures.
The mailboxes of most Canadian residences see enormous quantities of junk mail pass through them each year. Many multi-family residences, like condominiums or apartment buildings, have a convienently located recycling bin right in front of the wall of mailboxes tenants can simply dispose of junk mail without having to bring it to their homes. According to the Flyer Distribution Standards Association, a quarter of Canadians discard flyers without reading them.
Canada Post's policy is that customers may opt out of receiving junk mail by displaying a sign indicating a desire to do so, or by contacting one's local postal outlet. Canada Post estimates that 5 percent of Canadian households have actually done this.
The federal government could mandate that Canada Post - a Crown corporation - simply cease to deliver junk mail to Canadian homes. The environmental impact would likely be significant.
However, a substancial portion of Canada Post's annual revenue comes from the delivery of unaddressed admail; eliminating this income stream could have a dire effect on the already-struggling institution. Further, the advertising industry contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy through the production of junk mail.
Banning junk mail seems like a no-brainer from an environmental perspective. On the other hand, there are already procedures in place for Canadians to opt-out, procedures of which 95 percent of the population chooses not to avail itself. So is this a place for the government to step in and mandate change, or should well-enough be left alone?
