some odd shaped stamps for the letter 'O'
In 2001, the Blue Jays, Toronto's baseball team, celebrated its 25th season and Canada Post celebrated by issuing a stamp (designed by Paul Haslip). In 1992/93 they won the World Series. In 2025 they had a spectacular, country unifying, run at the World Series again. It was a much needed feel good story/event. They didn't quite make it, but what a ride it was! The fact of getting as far as they did makes them winners in our hearts.
Carousels, or merry go rounds, were the theme for this 2022 set. I was never into amusement park rides when I was little and the merry go round was pretty much my limit. The lion at the top from Lakeside Park is near where I now live and it still costs only a nickel per ride! The stamps were illustrated by René Milot.
