Regarding postage:
(1) I read on http://www.upu.int/irc/en/index.shtml
"When one writes to a stranger and requests a reply, it is considered
polite to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. This works well
when both persons live in the same country; however, if they are from
different countries, the enclosed postage stamp will not be valid.
This technical problem was solved in 1906 when the Universal Postal
Union, during its Congress in Rome, introduced the International Reply
Coupon service. As the service began before the days of airmail, the
earliest coupons could only be redeemed for a single-rate ordinary
postage stamp to a foreign country. In terms of today's UPU
Convention, International reply coupons (IRC) are exchangeable in all
member countries for the minimum postage of a priority item or an
unregistered airmail letter sent to a foreign country."
They are valid in both Canada and the US and in fact Canada Post has a
page about them:

(2) I checked and I have 6 x 25 cent and 4 x 20 cent US stamps; as per
http://ircalc.usps.gov a 1 oz envelope to Canada sent "Airmail Letter
Post" is 63 cents. Thus I have enough for three mailings (25 + 25 +
20 = 70 cents)
