Further to my post of 2 weeks ago:
1  In its November issue, Common Ground magazine carries a follow-up 
article which urges those who ultimately get no satisfaction from Canada 
Post (CPO) ro re-mail all their JUNK mail to:
David Dingwall, Minister responnsible for CPO, Ottawa, Ont, K1A 0A6
(free mailing)

2.  I talked to my mial-person, who assured me that CPO has NOT 
instructed carriers to respect "No JUNK mail" signs. She said much more, 
none of it complimentary to CPO.

3.  I again called CPO at 739-1410, where they had previously implied 
that a simple request to the carrier would be enough.She was less certain 
when pressed, but said she would call me back.

4.  I the called CUPW (the union) who arte DEFINITE that admail and 
letter carriers have NOT been instructed by CPO to respect "NO JUNK Mail" 
signs, and that carriers caught doing so could still be subject to 
disciplinary action, which could go as far as firing.

I feel that CPO are straddling a fence (I could use stronger language) by 
saying different things to:
a)  householders like myself
b)  carriers and their union
c)  advertisers, to whom they "guarantee" 100% delivery coverage

Surely it is time for CPO - OUR Crown Corp - to come clean about this 
matter and respect the right of an individual to REFUSE Junk Mail.

What is the opinion of other interested parties eg:
WCWC and environmental groups; CUPW; carriers; MLAs; MPs; householders?

RSVP or better still put out your own sign:

"     Please !!
   No JUNK Mail
(incl. Canada Post) "

or phone 739-1410 and check out the above with CPO.
