Say what you will about snail mail's relevancy in 2013, it still has a very real place, and a very real purpose, in many Canadians’ day-to-day lives. Canada Post will be jacking up the price of mailing letters and parcels this year. Beginning Jan. 14, the cost to mail a standard domestic letter (30 grams max) will increase two cents to 63 cents, while the cost to mail larger standard domestic letters (between 30 and 50 grams) will increase five cents to $1.10. Canada Post says the modest increases are needed to maintain service levels.
