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.

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

Canada Post is quoting 8 weeks surface and 3 weeks air atm. Just sent a framed picture 10x8 sort of size. It was a small fortune 30 odd bucks.

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.
