Canada Post is preparing to convert an additional 485,000 homes across Canada from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes in 2027, as part of the Crown corporation’s attempt to modernize and return to financial self-sustainability.
Home delivery is quite a bit less secure than community mailboxes.
Community mailboxes all have locked boxes with a designated key to access…
There are very few household mailboxes that have anything to secure the mail. Either it’s a box on the street or a box on your porch, or a slot in your front door maybe.
The street boxes and porch boxes rarely have keys or locks. Anyone can take your mail.
Is it? Does reliable, secure ID delivery really have “little extra value”?
If you don’t value what you get out of mail, it doesn’t mean it’s not valuable.
Home mail delivery isn’t secure ID though, and most mail doesn’t require that in the first place. And when it is necessary it’s still available.
So why did I sign for my passport delivery?

you would have signed if you had a community mail box just the same.
maybe inform yourself before arguing a point you don’t understand
Also I addressed that very point in my previous comment, which you promptly proceeded to ignore
