Canada Post
Maple leaf deliveries
Canada Post is Canada's national postal service, the crown corporation responsible for mail delivery throughout the country.
Like USPS in the United States or Royal Mail in Britain, it handles letters, packages, and parcels: The check came by Canada Post.
Canadians often use it interchangeably with "the mail": I'll send it Canada Post.
