Canada Post is facing financial troubles due to declining mail volume and rising costs. It plans to cut 8,000 jobs, end home mail delivery, and raise stamp prices by 35% while converting many homes to community mailboxes. The changes are part of a restructuring effort as Canada Post transforms its business model and takes on new services like parcel delivery to remain financially viable in the future.
