Now that the last batch of stamps has been announced in "Details" (October No.9) I am wondering if
Canada Post is under the illusion that the War of 1812-14 ended in 1813?
I guess we will have no celebration of our decisive victory at Lundy's Lane, our audacious burning of the White House, or our embarrassing naval defeat in Plattsburg Bay.
I wonder, too, if the Americans will ignore the Battle of New Orleans, which took place in 1815 (after the war was over!)
Dropped as well was the continuing series on children's literature. Looks like there'll be no recognition of
Caillou of French-Canadian origin.
