Mike Myers Stamp

@stamporator D'Oh! I completely forgot about that series. Too many modern Canadian stamps to remember them all.

I hope they do a Red Green stamp in the series. And the colour marks in the margins are in the shape of duct tape rolls.

I didn't see this post when it first appeared.
Mike Myers. REALLY?
Come on Canada Post!

More kitty cats on stamps! Yay!

More more options to edit and create My Stamp! Yah!

Print them from home like France is doing.

Stamps are up at Can Post:
Set of 5 booklets, 5 FDCs, Souvenier Sheet and Uncut Press Sheet

gag me with a lacrosse stick!

Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

Actually, this was supposed to be Canada Post's first commemoration of a living subject (other than the monarch) #2212 (2005)



She died, however, on November 14, 2004, just seven months before her stamp was issued.

Previous issues (astronauts & hockey players (the latter whose names are not on the stamps themselves) were allegedly for celebration of the concept in general, not for any particular individuals (Yeah, right!)

On the other hand, according to the Canadian Postal Archives: #380 (1958)



"This was the first Canadian postage stamp purposely designed with a living model as the featured symbol of the theme the stamps express."
Presumably, some kid (other than Prince Charles) could brag to his friends, "My Mum's on a stamp!"

sak...How do we know the stamp Scott #380 was designed from a LIVING model..??
It could have been taken from older files and incorporated into the stamp design..Just for argument sake..

Wert... your argument would be with the Canadian Postal Archives, not me!

A living model, yes; but apparently the model was a Toronto Stenographer and not a Nurse, which caused something of an uproar at the time. It's briefly recited in this 1977 newspaper article on stamp collecting:

sak...I am not trying to argue with you my friend..Just throwing it out there for discussion...

Good stuff wt1..
