Great rates and they ship everywhere, literally everywhere, in Canada.
UK Royal Mail privatized in 2013 - service tanked, prices went up and it was sold to a foreign billionaire in 2024.

Canada Post has seen better days but that doesn't mean we should axe it.

Remember that 2025 polling shows only 9% of Canadians actually want to separate.
Starting now, there are going to be a lot of new accounts on X and Facebook claiming otherwise.

Wow. Since 2020 we've lived in unprecedented times and this feels even less precedented than normal.
Carney today in Davos:
"What would it mean for middle powers to 'live in truth'? It means naming reality. Stop invoking the 'rules-based international order' as though it still functions as advertised...

That any elected official is happy to refuse money for affordable housing just to score culture war points should be an indicator for the federal housing minister that they need harsher ultimatums. Honour the deals you signed or lose it.
