In 2016 there was actually a decrease:

first class forever: 49¢ → 47¢

Can we add "postage rate increases" to death and taxes as the only certainties in life at this point? I certainly don't recall the last year where there wasn't one.

Wow! You guys are paying 2/3 of what we pay when you do the conversion. I wonder why? Is there just an assumption that most of the travel will occur over US territory since Canadian population centers are generally close to the US Border?

Because we have a special US only rate while the USPS lumps Canada with all other nations. Our global rate is well above yours

Technically USPS does have a rate category for Canada, but you're right, as far as letters are concerned the rate is the same across all categories of countries. Nonetheless, very interesting about Canadian global mail. You learn something new every day!
