Canadian post offices are actually privately-owned franchises run by non-governmental employees. The government still owns and regulates the Canada Post; however, privately-owned entities still receive a major share of the profits. Isn't it interesting that this major Canadian institution is less-socialized than its US equivalent?
I discovered this oddity while shopping at Zellers, the Canadian version of K-Mart. The post office was actually in the department store, just like a hair salon or a bank! How weird is that?
