    I understand that. I’m reading way too many laws already lol

    If the letter is determined to be unlawful, there’s a provision that allows Canadian Post to not deliver the letter. It’s a whole process that the mail carriers did not follow. Maybe if they had tried, and used the argument that it was unlawful discrimination or harassment to deliver the fliers, they would have had a leg to stand on. It seems that they didn’t, they took matters into their own hands, and they were punished accordingly.

    To be more clear, I’m not arguing against the punishment. Just the fliers and if they could be considered unlawful

      So, if I order a product, and the carrier doesn’t like the product- they can deny me my mail? Hmmm…

      I’m nearly certain that’s not how it works.

        What do you mean “doesn’t like”? The federal government “doesn’t like” citizens sending bombs in the mail, and they would deny you that, yes. I’m not sure what the point of your reply was, it doesn’t argue against anything I’ve said. Sounds like a straw man.

        There’s a difference between individual mail carriers and the organization USPS or Canadian Post. And there’s a difference between dislike and illegal. I thought we already established that, is that something you disagree on??

          I love how you have to go to ridiculous comparisons to make a point. It shows you have none.

          • A bomb and a flyer you don’t like- AREN’T the same thing.

          Now try again with this newly learned fact.
