Not much I can do as the vast majority of companies use Canada Post even for expedited, and in the summer Canada Post and Greyhound are the only shippers to where I live. I keep my expectations low and am more often than not pleasantly surprised.
Just curious as to how you will deal with this. Are you boycotting all companies that use only UPS?

We're not _quite_ that bad here, but close. FedEx will deliver here, though without any delivery date guarantees. UPS? Forget it. They "deliver" by sticking it into Canada Post. And there is no real way to ship out via UPS. Purolator will sometimes actually deliver to the house, but mostly only via Canada Post (which is pick up in the PO only.)
We have a saying here -- "If it absolutely, positively, has to be there overnight -- don't send it here."
