Share your medical information with Canada Post?

Would you share your medical information with Canada Post to continue home delivery?

Disability advocates are lashing out against a plan by Canada Post that will require people to provide a doctor's note who need home delivery service once community mailboxes are installed.

Winnipeg city councillor Ross Eadie, who is legally blind and will need the weekly delivery, said the cost of a doctor's note can be a financial burden for many with disabilities on fixed incomes.

The Manitoba League of Persons with Disabilities says the best person to determine what type of service is required is not a doctor, but the individual living with the disability.
