The US Postal service doesn't have an abbreviation for Canada, instead
they use the Province and Territory abbreviations, and spell out
Canada:

However it was very obvious that I was refering to the New York-Canada
border... people with a functioning brain know that there is no New
York-California border, except in Disneyland.
Before there was an internet, a postal service, or a California, and
even before Canada was divided into provinces and territories, and for
those of us who were educated about Geography even in grade 6 public
schools the abbreviation for Canada was always CA.

Cindy Hamilton needs to check her dictionary (if she even owns one and
is capable of its use) for "context", as in reading for *context*:

I'm positive Cindy was not a very good student, probably got failing
grades in "Gets along well with others" too. LOL
