Editor:
We have today received a letter, from Canada Post, notifying us of a change in our postal code, as many others must have done, also.
What idiot made the decision to go this route? What advantage does the change afford the post office? Why put the onus on the public in general to make the change? Whatever happened to common sense?
Instead of Canada Post adapting their current system to cope, they are compelling hundreds of individuals and companies to change their records.
We have approximately 120 sources, around the world, with whom we have mailing connections, many of these being businesses, institutions, investment companies, utility services, etc., at some time during the course of a year
Surely, with a little ingenuity, Canada Post could have come up with a solution that would simply add new area codes to developing areas.
At the ripe old age of 90, I have neither the interest nor the desire to make such a disruptive change.
