Publisac remains a hot potato
The city passed a bylaw making the Publisac opt‑in only, but Transcontinental has riposted by having Canada Post deliver it to all addresses. Mayor Plante is angry that the federal service is allowing TC to get around a city law designed to eliminate waste.

Every government needs a person whose job it is to figure out ways that their laws will be used and misused.

Kevin, that won’t help. Corporations, especially big ones, have 10 people whose job it is to figure out ways to get around the impediments that one person would introduce.

Wow, letter carriers won’t be very happy with that. Publi Sacs are thick and heavy, printed on bad paper. The people delivering them used shopping carts and big trucks. Letter carriers need to haul their mail on their backs, or use one of those tiny carts. Also they can ignore the “No Junk Mail’ stickers if there are addresses on every bag/envelope. Lots of stairs to climb…
