Other "state" abbreviations of note, which Canadians have been forced to adopt to pacify the supposedly superior U.S. Postal System (and other unrelated shipping companies that are giving the USPS a run for its money):

  • Alberta- AB
  • British Columbia- BC
  • Manitoba- MB
  • New Brunswick- NB
  • Newfoundland- NF
  • Northwest Territories / Nunavut- NT
  • Nova Scotia- NS
  • Ontario- ON
  • Prince Edward Island- PE
  • Quebec- PQ
  • Saskatchewan- SK
  • Yukon Territory- YT
  • Nonetheless, Canada maintains it's own Postal ("Zip") Codes, with a bunch of confuzing, seemingly randomly selected letters and numbers that drive U.S. companies to distraction (example: 1NR 3Q4 5D44FCASF1A5F1F5F17503S0).
