Special CAPEX 22 souvenir sheets from Canada Post

by | Jun 11, 2022

Three CAPEX 22 souvenir sheets were issued by Canada Post for the June exhibition. For me, the third one is the real winner. I knew the  2021 Bluenose and 2022 Calla sheets were going to be issued with the CAPEX logo overprint.

What a pleasant surprise to see the new Vintage Travel Posters make an appearance. The set was released June 9, 2022, opening day for CAPEX 22.

I think this set, by Paprika Design, is going to be the best of the 2022 program. Mind you, it’s hard to go mess up  classic CP Rail travel posters from the 30s. They are works of art in themselves. If you’d like to see the entire series, check them out here Sneak peek at Canada’s 2022 stamp program. Skip down to the Vintage Posters for interesting details about the posters.

Diversity is a strength.

For everyone hanging in there with me.

I want to thank everyone who has dropped me a note and still visited the site, despite the lack of fun content. It's been a bit of a hard slog on this end and the double vision really makes things a bit rough. However, it looks like a diagnosis is on the horizon which means treatment. 

In the meantime, I'm going to try and write. If I get things a little wonky, just sigh with me. Its hard to take life seriously when everything is blurry and doubled. 

Thank you. Thank you so much.
