I prefer the really big view -- type Z then click the representation of a frame at top right), but your preference may vary.

I believe Édifice Dominion Public should should, by Canadian standards, read Édifice Dominion-Public, or, better yet, Édifice fédéral.

The word "Dominion" is pretty much taboo in Canada now (as a vestige of colonial rule) except in the names of the beautiful Dominion Public Buildings that the federal government put up all over the country.

Thanks, Andy. Canada Post owns a courier company, so that's helped. Personal mail, though, has virtually disappeared. They may make some money off parcels, since they deliver to more sparsely populated regions than the private companies will.

But then I guess that's not a money-making proposition, but a public service.

It's rather a lovely building. I like the art deco entrance .

As I understand our Post Office, it's in the unenviable position of being regulated by the Federal government, but does not get any funds from them. They were saddled by a large, unfunded pension liability from the beginning, and are slowly sinking under its weight. I won't go into the politics of the situation, since my views would be rather partisan.

The facade of this one - is it a heavy art-deco? And it looks like London clears its streets well. A virtue much in demand at the moment.
