Arshy, your passionate essay reminds me of when I taught teenage newcomers about Canadian money. And every year, fewer and fewer kids, from here and away, actually used bills or coins. Now that Leonard Nimoy is dead, that Spock joke on the fiver doesn't land past Gen X. When Black Lives Mattered, every school seemed to have a Viola mural, so maybe Gen Z will rember who's that lady on the tanner. Just curious if anyone under 40 gets excited by the newest faces on Canadian stamps? Thanks for this joyful spin to our Monday.
