The stamp shows the socalled Sassen-gate in Zwolle on the background.
Would any of the Canadian members here be willing to trade this stamp? We would very much like to get hold of at least one copy :-)

Can you not order from Canada Post online? I used to do that often, and hope to again in the near future.

Ordering from Canada Post means you'll be paying for more than you want & postage.
Asking here means you'll get what you want for free! Well, from me at least!

Thank you all for your offers to help and advice.
It is all very much appreciated. But please know that I did not ask this with the intention to get a stamp for free. If there is anything I can do in return please let me know.

Oh I love Léo Major!!
His story is amazing... Pray tell me this isn't the first time Canada post mentions him on a stamp... or is it!?

This is the first Canadian stamp for Leo Major. And I'm afraid to admit, as a Canadian, I hadn't heard about his story before I read this thread.

My brother (who lives in Zwolle, the Netherlands) just pointed out to me that Canada Post recently issued a stamp commemorating Léo Major, who played an important role in the liberation of Zwolle at the end of WW2. As the press release puts it "In April 1945, while scouting the German-occupied Dutch town of Zwolle, Private Leo Major singlehandedly tricked the enemy into thinking they were under a full attack, capturing dozens of prisoners and forcing the Germans to retreat, which earned him the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the lasting gratitude of the people of Zwolle."
The stamp shows the socalled Sassen-gate in Zwolle on the background.
Would any of the Canadian members here be willing to trade this stamp? We would very much like to get hold of at least one copy :-)
