'Vancouver 2010' stamp shows Ottawa building
Wednesday, July 16, 2003

In yet another blunder at the taxpayer's expense, Canada Post issued a stamp to commemorate the IOC decision to award the 2010 Winter Olympics to Vancouver. Strangely, the stamp features a building not in Vancouver, but on the other side of the country, in Ottawa.

How did such a mistake happen? My guess is that Steven W. Mahoney, the secretary of state responsible for Canada Post, simply couldn't find Vancouver on his map of Ontario.
