Canadian Passports Caught in a Time Warp

We want to go into the USA during our summer vacation this year. We don’t need passports to go into the USA yet from Canada by a land terminal, but we wanted to have them just to make things easier. Jenn took the completed applications in to the passport office on July 16, and they arrived by mail today. My only conclusion must be that they were mailed to us by Passport Canada six weeks from now, and accidentally got caught in that time warp thing that Canada Post has that makes mail arrive slower the closer the destination is from the sender, and sent back in time. There’s no other explanation for how the passports could have arrived in only ten days.
