A RANT - RURAL MAIL DELIVERY

So who knew that when you move to a house that has a Rural Route address that you have to NOTIFY and register with the Post Office to affirm that you are actually living there? Anywhere else you move, you simply notify the rest of the world and wait for the mail to arrive. Sorry, not that simple with Canada Post!!! By chance, I happened to be at the post office in town today and there is a stack of mail for us because the delivery person is bringing it back to the office, preparing to return it to sender. Did they wonder why all this mail was coming from various sources to our address??? Could that many different institutions suddenly, randomly start sending mail to an unoccupied house? Perhaps they could have just knocked on the door...."Hello, do you actually live here? Oh, well then here's your mail." But that would be too simple, wouldn't it. That would mean they'd have to actually get OUT of their car, maybe take a step or two.
