Canada Post paid $30.8 million in performance-based bonuses to executives and managers in 2025 despite reporting a record $1.57 billion loss and receiving government financial support. Canada Post says the payments came from its own revenue and are part of an existing compensation program. The payments have sparked criticism from taxpayer advocates, who say executives should not receive bonuses while the Crown corporation is losing money.
