During 2016,what will be officially announced regarding Canada Post's community mailbox conversion program?
Community mailbox conversions will resume: 30%
No Announcement will be made: 30%
Home delivery will be restored in some areas: 40%
(In the case of multiple contradictory announcements, the first one is the one that matters. Only announcements that have an effect in Ottawa count. If home delivery is to be continued in precisely those areas that already have it, that counts as "No Announcement")
Canada Post recently halted its community mailbox conversion program due to the Liberal election win (see articles here and here). The Liberals have promised to review the decision to cut home delivery. Some Liberal MPs have said that home delivery will be restored (see article here).
A Liberal government could restore home delivery in all (or some) areas that have lost it, continue indefinitely home delivery in only those areas that have it now, or resume the community mailbox conversion program. I think the Liberals are most likely to restore home delivery, at least in part; the political pressure for them to do so seems to be significant, especially in areas that have recently lost home delivery.
