If I ship a 7in x7in x7in 5lb box from a random address in Winnipeg to a random address in Comox, the pricing came out to:
Canada Post: $29 (with small business discount)
Canpar: $70
Purolator: $108

Send those people to a central office.
This is kind of like the argument for people who live in remote AF communities that are only accessed by air or ice roads. Oh a package of toilet paper costs $100? Yea no shit because it has no fly on a plane for 2 hours to get there lol
