LETHBRIDGE, AB – Canada’s national mail carrier lost more than a quarter of a billion dollars in the second quarter of 2023.

Canada Post recorded a loss of $254 million before taxes as revenues were down across all lines of its business.

Overall, revenues declined by $78 million, or six per cent, compared to the same period in 2022.

“An increasingly competitive parcel delivery market continued to impact Parcels revenue in both the first and second quarter of 2023,” Canada Post said in a media release. “ Transaction Mail volume continued to erode, while Direct Marketing revenue declined as businesses’ marketing budgets remained under pressure.”
