A reader recounts being flooded with Canadian direct mail offers promising up to ten million dollars and a football shaped phone, amid vague costs and misleading gifts. The missives from Canadian Family Publishers push magazines with stickers and vague obligations, prompting concern over aggressive, opaque marketing practices.

It highlights rural delivery parity, proposed monthly charges, and potential postal cuts. It warns that ending concessionary rates could curtail Canadian periodicals and push toward statehood.
