Name

Can this simply be renamed Canadian postal abbreviations? To my knowledge there are no other common types of postal abbreviation. This would also match United States postal abbreviations. - SimonP 01:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)why do peps care about ontorio so much

Agree. The other articles on postal abbreviations are Australian postal abbreviations and United States postal abbreviations. The word

Update

We should update this article with official information from [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.138.43.113 (talk) 07:32, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Correction

Article states "regardless of whether it is domestic or international mail addressed to Canada, the Postal Code always is always the last item in the address."

This has not been true for several years. The Canada Post addressing guideline is "the municipality, province or territory, and Postal Code should always appear on the same line ..." http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/PGaddress-e.asp For incoming international mail, the word "CANADA" appears alone on the last line.--Torontonian1 (talk) 14:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Adjacent countries

• non-overlapping abbreviations to adjacent countries

I thought Canada had only one adjacent country: America (USA). I'd also like to make one list combining the USPS codes for the US with the Canadian codes:

• BC - British Columbia
• DC - Washington, D.C.
• NY - New York

Any takers? --Uncle Ed (talk) 05:14, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

conflicting information re PQ → QC

This article says that "PQ" changed to "QC" for Quebec in 1991. But the PQ disambiguation page says it happened in 1992. We should figure out which is correct. —Steve Summit (talk) 21:33, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Replace "acronym" with "abbreviation"

These are not acronyms. An acronym is a pronounceable word made from the initial letters or parts of words, such as scuba or sonar. Nobody attempts to pronounce "MB" or "QC", do they? Even if some people do not understand the distinction, a reference source like Wikipedia should respect it. Doug Ewell (talk) 05:24, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
