Canada Post CEO touts hints of recovery even as financial woes persist
Canada Post CEO Doug Ettinger says the postal service is showing “early signs” of financial recovery despite declining revenue and larger losses in the first half of the year.
Ettinger says Canada Post is regaining some parcel-delivery business lost since 2019 through small-business shipping discounts and a new online marketplace.
Ettinger says Canada Post is “overbuilt” in cities and must reduce its urban operations as it changes its business model.
Canada Post plans to move four million remaining door-to-door delivery addresses to community mailboxes within about five years; its second-quarter pre-tax loss was $277 million, down from $407 million a year earlier.
The President and CEO of Canada Post asserts that the company is showing early signs of financial recovery, despite a decline in sales and larger losses in the first half of the year.
