You shouldn't be downvoted for stating the fact that this changed drastically under the new Trump appointee, who has donated millions to his and other republican campaigns.

The down votes are probably more along the unnecessary line about unions.

But wasn’t Canada Post also having some overload and delays? Blaming Trump for absolutely everything is getting to be a tied old canard.

The new head of the USPS is a big campaign donor and made specific changes in how the post office works that are bad. I'm blaming the literal choices of Trump's appointment, that appear to help Trump.

Ah, Canada does a lot of things right - post isn't one of them. Even pre-COVID the two post systems operated on quite different levels.
