BTW, I just want to say that if you get a chance to eat a Saskatoon berry pie: do it. I haven't had the chance for at least 20 years, unfortunately :-(

Kind of reminds me of the USPS using a picture of the Statue of Liberty in Vegas.

Hilarious. How could they get that wrong? A simple Google Image search show this representation is non typical.
Something almost but not completely unlike millionaire's shortbread ... It does seems that nanaimo bar came first, actually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caramel_shortbread https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanaimo_bar
That does not resemble my childhood memories of the Nanaimo Bar, but it did provoke some intense nostalgia.
Haha, oh well I'd still try one with more filling, it is my favourite part anyway. Canada Post is pulling some culinary activism I can get behind. Thanks for looking past the rockies Ottawa!
So I always thought that 'sugar pie' was a pet name for a loved one.
Apparently not [1], I guess it is also a pet name, else there's a few songs I need to re evaluate.
Ps Does North America not use the word tart. The wikipedia page describes it as a 'single-crust' pie? How do you differentiate those annoying upside down tart 'pies' consisting of a disc of pastry plonked on top?
That looks a lot like a tompouce to me:

I've seen them looking like this in the States. Guess I can now assume those weren't quite authentic.
And continuing that great stamp conspiracy of not putting the value on the stamp so i have to spend ten minutes on google trying to figure out how many i need. Eventually i give up and just plaster the envelope with stamps. They win again. By the time i next have to mail something to my great aunt ive totally forgotten about the last and repeat the cycle. I must overspend at least a dollar or two each year on this scam.
Less base is better anyhow but middle is way too big. Would glady eat.
They did it on purpose. Now they have to amend and reprint the stamp, and destroy all the old batches. Except for a couple of sheets, which some insiders will hold on to, and which will eventually resurface as philatelic rarities...
The weird and wonderful erudition one may gain on HN. Before clicking through I couldn't even parse the title. Canada, yes, the huge country we never hear about, and Post, and stamp, but who's Nanaimo, or where's the bar, and what's with its capacity for filling?
All is now clear. On to weightier if possibly less entertaining matters.
Proving once again that the quickest way to success is to check with your customers. Rather than a secret build then a big reveal Canada Post could have checked in with some local experts for each dessert to ensure they had the best representation possible.
Canada Post isn't a startup and they aren't looking for "market fit" but the same principles apply.
Which is worse, this or Google's hamburger disaster?
