The bracketed numbers refer to the commonly accepted Scott Catalogue Numbering System. In this analysis we are excluding the stamps issued by the various colonies of British North America prior to Confederation. Interestingly, the Scott numbering system accepts the assumptions of Central Canadian precedence and begins the numbering of Canadian stamps with those of the Province of Canada, starting with the threepenny beaver of 1851. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick also issued stamps in 1851. My thanks to Dr. Jeff Webb for advice on this matter.
Objection is taken to the tepee and size of the skins.
Nor has the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion received recognition on Canadian stamps. In the British comparison it is also the case that the less demanding category of inclusion favours the Canadian post office, which in general has issued substantially more commemorative stamps than has Britain. Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue, Vol. Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue, Vol. 30 Professor James Naylor, Brandon University, reports that the Manitoba Federation of Labour had proposed some years ago, without success, that a stamp be issued to commemorate the Winnipeg Strike.
