Why send it at all through a courier or armored truck. Does Canada not have police, military, anything? You're already paying them and why would you even trust an armored car when you have your own people with armored military vehicles.

I had a professor in college who told us that when he worked for a bank in the 1980s, the bank needed more physical cash before a holiday. His boss handed him a loaded handgun and told him to drive to the New Orleans branch of the Federal Reserve, pick up the bank's order, and drive back nonstop.

The US government regularly contracts with private truckers to haul very special loads and tells them to not stop except for diesel, pee in a bottle, and drive right past all weigh stations and most law enforcement officers: the feds will order state level law enforcement to stop the pursuit (if they do stop, the driver has a get out jail free card). Pretty much all rest requirements are waived. It's also a violation of federal law for the trucker to even open the trailer, which might be empty or carrying a dummy load. Canada can and likely does the same.
