This article examines Canada Post's use of trucking companies that hire so-called "discount" drivers. Investigations by La Presse confirm that the Crown corporation has used at least four such companies, while roughly twenty others have been suspected of the practice since 2015. Two of these firms were involved in serious accidents, including a fatal crash in 2024. Canada Post claims it has no connection to this business model and has refused to testify before a parliamentary committee. Meanwhile, elected officials and victims' families are speaking out against these practices, citing concerns over road safety and worker exploitation.
