The Montreal mayor says the crown corporation has not consulted with municipalities on the locations of so-called "super mailboxes." On Thursday, a new concrete base for a future mailbox was discovered in the l’Anse-à-l’Orme nature park, which Coderre says went in without any input from the city, the Montreal Gazette reported.

The proposal has spurred fierce backlash from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, many cities, and residents who don't want to trudge several minutes to the communal mailboxes.
Canada Post defends the plan by pointing out that mail volume has dropped significantly due to the internet.
Communal mailboxes are also not new. Many rural communities (not to mention people who live in apartment buildings or keep postal boxes) have been fetching their mail like this for many years.
