OT: Canadians asked to accept spam?!

[Bob Jonkman]

The article doesn't mention that that postage-paid response card had two
options: the first said "Yes, I'd like to receive junk mail", and the
second "Oui, je veux recevoir les ordures en courrier" (paraphrased).

The enclosed letter also said that if the response card wasn't received,
junk mail delivery would resume in a few weeks...

Canada Post must really be hurting.
