The miracle here is that the USPS managed to locate Canada.

I can do one better. I once mailed a postcard to Slovenia, and they
actually got it there. I still don't know where the hell Slovenia is.
Score one for the USPS. Their overall average is still pretty dismal
though. Strains of why are we funding an incompetent operation to compete
with our own private industries in the first place.

They seem to have less trouble with Eastern Europe than with the US. I
never will forget the Premiere of the Soviet Union with the little
schoolgirl who sent a letter to the President of the United States with the
correct address only to have it returned to her by the USPS marked "address
unknown". Apparently they _were_ able to find Russia to return it to her.
