Why Canada Post Will Go Out of Business

The little padded envelope you see measures 9" x 6" (it's shown in metric on the paper).  Inside is a necklace weighing probably less than half a pound.  I had checked on the Canada Post website to find out what it would cost to mail this from Ontario to British Columbia, thinking that was the furthest destination from me so postage wouldn't be higher than this if the parcel was sent anywhere else in Canada.  What I saw on the website didn't make sense to me so I took it to a postal outlet and asked them to tell me exactly what it would cost to mail.  Holy crap!!  The very lowest cost to mail this tiny and lightweight envelope was $20.24!  And this is why Canada Post will go out of business!
