Canada Post is likely the cheapest, never seen any of the private couriers cheaper when sending anything overseas, but I would call Canada Post rates low, just lower than private couriers.
If you know the approx weight and have the dimensions of the package, you can get estimates online from the various companies on their websites.

This website will give you an approximate cost for all - Canada Post + Courier companies. https://secureship.ca/webship/rates/getestimate.aspx

discovered that it is almost cheaper to send 4 thin items than one consolidated parcel

I believe the last time expired/expiring passports sent to the UK were discussed, it was about $27 with Canada Post (recorded/tracked) and about $80 with other couriers.
