From Canada Post's website "The maximum weight for containers (lettertainers and flats tubs) has
been reduced from 25 kg to 22.7 kg. The measurement includes the
combined weight of the container, lid and contents."
Coincidentally, 22.7kg is 50lb converted to metric. So I guess Canada Post has had it with the crazy metric system which the rest of the world somehow fancies and started to use the good old imperial system. Who needs to count in 5s and 10s when better systems exist? It's insane to know that even after 30-some years of using metric system, government agencies clearly show that don't really understand it.
