That 188 year old plate that I bought 50 years ago?

Old Joke:

"How old is that dinosaur, Mr. Museum worker?"
"It's exactly 25 million and 4 years old."
"How can you be so exact?"
"Well, I started working here 4 years ago, and they told me it was 25 million years old at that time."

Is this why Canada is issuing a Benjamin Franklin postage stamp this year?

It is Canada's 250th postal anniversary:

The new stamp recognizes the fact that Franklin, as deputy postmaster of Britain's North American colonies in the 1750s and 1760s — prior to the U.S. fight for independence — personally inaugurated a post office in Halifax in 1753 and later initiated the first official mail service between Quebec, Trois-Rivières and Montreal on June 10, 1763, exactly 250 years ago on Monday.
