Issued this day in 2025. Sc 3491: Brian Mulroney. Design: Paprika. Photography: BIll MCarthy
Canada Post has put every former prime minister who is not still alive on a stamp, some (Macdonald especially) more than others. This one, as Canada Post said at the time of issue, is “in recognition of Canada’s 18th prime minister, the Right Honourable Martin Brian Mulroney (1939-2024). Born in Baie-Comeau, Quebec, Mulroney is considered one of Canada’s most consequential prime ministers. Mulroney passed away on February 29, 2024, at the age of 84.”
