The following excerpt is from Trans-Pacific Trading v. Rayonier Canada Ltd., 1998 CanLII 6110 (BC CA):

Higgins was decided, and Canada constructed its own postal system, first the telegram, then the telex, then private courier services using either bicycles or motor vehicles, and the facsimile machine have each provided faster and faster (and sometimes more dependable than ordinary post, in contradistinction to priority post) means of communication of acceptances required to be in writing.
