In Canada the postal dropoff areas are in malls and shopping centers, they seem to be franchises? It has been many years since I was in Canada, but I mailed things a couple of times from a local mall.

I've always thought the idea of banking at the post office was a good one, I think that used to be a feature of the British post offices? It's a shame they were privatized. Must have been by one of those politicians who wanted to scrape the value out of the public institution or offer more business to the private sector. Thatcher? Sounds like Trump's goal. It was Bush II whose administration put the unreasonable qualification that the USPS pay retiree health benefits for 75 years out that brought it to it's knees.

Damn. Yes, having it in the Constitution does make it more difficult for him to convert it to private, but right now he's intent on breaking it.
