Canadians who still love sending traditional "snail mail" will have to pay more as of Monday.
The cost of mailing a first-class letter, card or postcard within Canada will increase to 54 cents from 52, Canada Post says.
Letters to the United States will also go up a couple of pennies and cost 98 cents, while letters to all other foreign countries will increase by a nickel to $1.65.
The Crown corporation says those increases apply to items weighing up to 30 grams.
