And there was Priority Post[1] too. Still exists, apparently. I don't
think they were ever competitive in the courier market.

Didn't know Purolator had been bought by Canada Post. There's nothing
about ownership on the Purolator "About" page[2]. And Wikipedia tells me
that Purolator uses DHL for international shipments[3]...
