When I did a little research, I found that they were designed by Emanuel Hahn (who has done several stamps as well as the caribou on our quarter) in 1956.
They were not well received.
this one was described as "the most diabolical animal I have ever seen" by a Member of Parliament (with similar, and worse, descriptions by a few others)
The above one is known as 'dancing caribou' by collectors (a Can-Can, maybe?)
maybe these frolicking young goats are more pleasing

I guess they would be considered otherwise nowadays. "Diabolical" seems a bit exaggerated! Anyway, I don't think the Parliament care about stamps in 2026. At least, not in my country!
Mine, here.
I love the 'diabolical' stamps! My U stamp is here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2026/06/u-is-for-union-and-universal.html
