CanPo stops the switch to comm'ty boxes. CUPW's <a href="https://twitter.com/Mike_Palecek">@Mike_Palecek</a> is ecstatic - but wants 2 restore all door2door. <a href="https://t.co/Gt8w8EUIz7">pic.twitter.com/Gt8w8EUIz7</a> —@OttawaMorning

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> I don't see any problem with the community mailbox program. Even if you don't want to walk, it's not hard to stop in your car —@GrahamCrakers

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> Love the community box here in Kanata. Dry mail, meeting with neighbors, &c. —@jeffrossbooks

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Mike_Palecek">@Mike_Palecek</a> I like the new community mailboxes, way more secure! I've had mail stolen from our mailbox a few times to many! —@Snagglefoot

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> let people pay for door to door mail service, maybe 1 stamp per day. Still cheap but it proves they want it. —@JimLeask

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> I'm ok with comm mailboxes. I'd like to know of those complaining who still gets paper bills & regularly sends letters/cards. —@chatshell

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> Our family regularly sends cards and parcels via <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CanadaPost?src=hash">#CanadaPost</a>...but we are an anomaly amongst our friends. —@chatshell

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> been using community mailbox in Nepean for over 30 years - it is superior to door to door in many ways! —@billb118

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> I don't want to lose my home delivery. No community mailboxes —@shehryarsarwar

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@ottawamorning</a> only those who had door to door before sometime in the early 80s still have door-to-door door delivery: I've never had it. —@philandrecheck

I like my "home delivery" too, but I have to walk abt 700ft to get to my mailbox ;) <a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> —@pam_luvs_wine

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> I am wondering who is going to shovel out the snow bank in front of my super mailbox when the plows pass by —@gor55mcg

<a href="https://twitter.com/billb118">@billb118</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> for the majority of people they are completely fine. —@ThisIsLaurelM

<a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaMorning">@OttawaMorning</a> please return door 2 door. Ongoing hassle especially in winter & vehicles blocking access. Not Nice😬 <a href="https://t.co/999P0Fy5Si">pic.twitter.com/999P0Fy5Si</a> —@BurkettCarl
