 Please explain. Could you go to a post office and BTC with cash? I don't understand.

 Yes, you could go to any post office in Canada and "reload" your Bull Bitcoin account with dollars (cash or debit) up to $999 per transaction, up to $1999 a day. You could then convert this to BTC via Bull Bitcoin's site.

The amazing thing about this was that it is within the limits for requiring KYC accoring to Canadian laws, so all you needed to give Bull Bitcoin was a name and and email. 

Cash for BTC! Its amazing, which is why this is a big loss on the privacy side. 15 more days for Canadians to take advantage!

 So does the Canadian post office do basic banking and fiat payments? Cool!

 AFAIK, no - they just handle accepting the cash and forwarding it on to the company, in this case Bull Bitcoin
