wouldn't even bother with "priority" mail to Canada (or even overseas), and would just stick with first class mail rates. With no Saturday delivery and the "downsizing," it will take the same time to get there regardless. I've found that "express" mail still takes the same time as regular mail to foreign destinations, and is a definite bilking of my pocketbook to send anything "priority" or "express" to these locations - and even domestically, for that matter. And, since a recent report on the news, stocking up on small boxes instead of padded envelopes might end up being a savings, because the USPS will still deliver packages on Saturdays, packages actually being on the increase for USPS. Oops, fedex and ups slipped up somewhere...
