Switch to Email

Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night, only steps slightly higher than 20cm, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.


Canada's post office is threatening to stop mail deliveries to a woman in Ottawa because her doorstep is 10 centimetres too high.

Christine Charbonneau said when she went to check her mail last Friday she found a Canada Post employee measuring her doorstep. He told her it was 30cm high - 10cm more than the maximum limit specified by building regulations.

"I said it was ridiculous to say that the step is too high ... Nobody else has complained," she told the Ottawa Citizen newspaper.
