With the final window of 2025 now in the rearview mirror for the #CanMNT, the focus now shifts to 2026, and the start of a World Cup year

Because of that, I decided it was time to update my CanMNT depth chart

Here's how the last few months have shaken things up for me👀

There had been a plan in place to open Canada Post Banks to service communities where banks have closed their branches. This would dovetail perfectly into keeping these rural POs in place. Probably bring in revenue too.
