Cool, thanks for the link.  The Nunavut question is #1(!) in their FAQ:

   http://www.canadapost.ca/CPC2/common/pages/questions.html

But darn it, even though it's not changing anytime soon, they don't say what
it will be later when it does change.  Oh well.

I suppose at least the description should change, though? -- so that it says
Northwest Territories and Nunavut?

--Todd

p.s.  It's an interesting coincidence that Nunavut starts with N and ends
with T.  I suppose if it ever does get its own postal code, they'll choose
something like NV...
