Something I didn’t know about Canada: only 1/4 of Canadians get their mail delivered directly to their door.
So if you live in a house and have your mail delivered to a mailbox next to your front entrance you are in the minority.
In the next 5 years 4 million addresses will switch to shared mailboxes (like we apartment building residents have in the entrance lobby or like in rural areas where there’s a cluster of mailboxes when you enter town).

@stephaniepixie@fandom.garden I was surprised to learn that, too. I lived in a rural town and we had to go to the post office to get our mail, while the outlying areas still had door delivery. Because the outlying areas have more people than the town, I ssumed that would mean that more people got door delivery than didn't. But not true, it seems.
