The following Canadian letters have a distinct property in common. Can you tell what it is?

a b c g i j o p q r t u y

From the above set, a further breakdown into two groups is possible. The first group contains the letters a, c, and g, while the second group contains the rest. The separating factor is related to the common property that all the letters share. Can you get that too?

One thing I noticed, when typing my last comment, about the words "eh," "see," "sea," "eye," and "aye," is that none of them are spelled using the letter they are supposed to sound like. However, there is still the consideration of "cue" for q, although "queue" is spelled using the q. So, perhaps the answer to the second part is that these letters sound like words that can't be spelled using the letter itself?
