OE-2 10c Peace Issue - 1950<br />
A notice in the Postal Guide<br />
Weekly Bulletin <strong>of</strong> December 22,<br />
1951 <strong>of</strong>ficially ended the issuance<br />
<strong>of</strong> Special Delivery stamps in<br />
<strong>Canada</strong>. It stated: “<strong>The</strong> Department<br />
has decided to discontinue<br />
the printing <strong>of</strong> the 10-cent Special<br />
Delivery postage stamp because<br />
<strong>of</strong> the comparatively small sale <strong>of</strong><br />
the item.” Or, perhaps, was one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the reasons for the discontinuance<br />
the fact that regular postage<br />
stamps were being used more<br />
and more frequently to pay Special<br />
Delivery?<br />
On April 15, 1987, <strong>Canada</strong> Post<br />
used the 1921 designed Coat <strong>of</strong><br />
Arms on a 36-cent stamp issued<br />
to honour the Canadian Bill <strong>of</strong><br />
Rights and Freedoms. (Fig. 16)<br />
<strong>The</strong> redesigned Coat <strong>of</strong> Arms <strong>of</strong><br />
1994 has not appeared on a Canadian<br />
stamp. Philatelists look forward<br />
to its use at some<br />
appropriate time in the future. <br />
