| General Description : | Canadians are an inventive bunch. In fact, Canadian inventors have patented more than a million inventions—but far too many of us would be unable to name more than just a few. From Ginger Ale to insulin, from Bombardier’s “Ski-doo” to Plante’s goalie mask, plus the “Jolly Jumper,” instant mashed potatoes, the lawn sprinkler and the modern plastic garbage bag, items created from Canadian imagination and insight are a part of our daily lives. This stamp issue shines a spotlight on the “Made in Canada” leaps of science and creativity that have changed lives at home and abroad. |
