Re. Canada Post:

No, they have not changed their name, but you cited the French name.
The postal addresses in canada are not going to be radically changed,
but as you have seen in the US there is a tendency to make the 
postalcodes ("Zip" codes for you guys below the 49th) more
powerful - from the point of view of computers, that is.

Canada Post (Poste Canada in French) is currently proposing an
extension to the postal codes to enable sorting down to
individual buildings. But even their X.400 system will use
regular postal addresses - and O/R-names!
