I saw a queue of ambulances in front of a NHS hospital recently - lack of nurse is a huge problem here... plus an industrial action tomorrow - which I would understand their opinion. This stamp is trying to light-up the importance of nurses education.

Question;
If anyone can help me how to find Canadian stamp archives on-line? Their post office used to have a brilliant archive with stories details of each issue, but renewed website is limited from 1999 onwards.
https://www.canadapost-postescanada...stories.page
Hidden archive before that year anywhere??

Hi Viking123 - yes flies, moths and many other guys fly towards light/fire. I wonder why.. maybe they think that is a moon? And is that a little blue spot with flying path behind, the postmaster is talking?
