Postage Jumps To $1.00 A Letter In Canada!!

The news outlets this week have been alerting Canadians to a sudden jump in postage rates. You get a break for buying s book of stamps, a generous .85 apiece in bulk. Otherwise, a single letter postage paid will be $1.00

I was so angry at this cash grab I jumped into my horse and buggy and whipped them down the cobblestone street until I made it to the post office. We were going so fast, my eight-track tape came loose from the player!

I parked under a gas street light...

These postal offices and employees are tasked with handling the tens of snail mail letters that seniors, shopper surveys, flyer producers and general spammers send to homes across the country regularly, often arriving more than once a week to our super-mailbox. (Yes, they are also announcing the phasing out of actual home delivery - what are we living in, the era of The Jetsons???)

When I tried to open the door it was locked. Coffee time. Damn, they've got a good union at the post office...

Well, there's aways email I guess - flame on!!!

Later....

Well said! You know, I guess when your volume has dropped by 90% since the onslaught of email, I am surprised they haven't raised postage to $100 per letter to make up the shortfall! Good gravy!
