I have not brought together all the relevant dates and such, but in the last short while, Canada Post came up with the idea of sending a free, postpaid, card to all Canadian addresses. The idea was to encourage the use of regular mail to communicate. There were several bilingual designs, six I believe, and I have been trying to persuade people I know to mail me examples so that I have a complete used set for my collection. I do not know how successful the scheme was, overall, but I thought that I would post the unused one that came to our address, and the one sent by our daughter-in-law, along with her stamp design, from Victoria.

Someone else posted a thread about these a week or so ago. There appears to be uncertainty whether there are 6 or 12 different types. 6 designs, 6 bilingual, 6 French. I have seen 6 designs all bi-lingual and have yet to see a French one.

I have noticed on ebay that they are selling for around $50 for a set of 6 "English" which again hints about French versions existing. If someone here has seen or owns a French one can you please post a picture?

Here is the link to earlier post about these cards and other links.
Personally, I have all 6 bilingual but have never seen the french only version that is mentioned. As PMS mentioned I would like to see them also. https://goscf.com/t/76505
