Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canada Post has a legal monopoly in the provision of general mail delivery, as established by the Canada Post Corporation Act. While there are other companies that offer delivery services, Canada Post has exclusive rights to deliver letters to Canadian addresses. This ensures that all Canadians have access to basic mail service, regardless of where they live or their economic situation.
