I'm fucking pissed that Canada Post has decided to phase out door to door mail delivery over the next couple of years, in favour of installing huge super mailboxes (sort of like apartment ones, but outside on the street), where every house gets their own little box for their mail. Those things are absolute eyesores and will look bad in the old neighbourhoods where door delivery still happens (like my neighbourhood). I like the convenience of getting my mail dropped right into the house through the flap in the door. I like the more personal aspect of the mail carrier walking up to the house and sometimes greeting them as they deliver the mail, instead of this whole idea of them dropping everyone's mail into a giant box on the street corner.

I'm also pissed that the price for regular stamps is going up from 65 cents to 85 cents next year. Not going to be surprised if it will cost me a dollar to send a letter by 2015 either.

Fucking Conservative government for you. Cutting public service jobs left and right just to save a buck.
