Roads fine, not Canada Posties

The Editor, City of Coquitlam crews have done a great job of plowing our road this week, which has been bare and clear much of the time. But we've not received a speck of mail delivery from Canada Post and neither have the rest of our neighbours.

The Editor,

City of Coquitlam crews have done a great job of plowing our road this week, which has been bare and clear much of the time.

But we've not received a speck of mail delivery from Canada Post and neither have the rest of our neighbours.

When one of my neighbours queried this, Canada Post revealed that our letter carrier had been away all this week and, thus, unavailable to deliver our mail. And besides, the weather has been "snowy."

Previous complaints about delivery issues have gone uncorrected but this is the most blatant dereliction of Canada Post's responsibility for delivering mail in the 37 years we've lived in this neighbourhood.

In a week when there was yet another rate increase, how can Canada Post possibly justify such sloppiness?
