Marie Joseph Angélique (circa 1705-1734) was an enslaved Black woman accused of a crime for which there was no real evidence against her, and which she denied committing. The subject of this year’s Black History Month stamp, her story not only sheds light on the history of enslavement in what is now Canada – it also reveals a woman who sought to resist her bondage and empower herself in the ways that were available to her. Although historians disagree on whether Angélique was guilty, her story continues to encourage ongoing conversations about racial equality, justice and the importance of acknowledging the complexities of Canada’s past.

This year’s Black History Month stamp featuring Marie Joseph Angélique (circa 1705-1734) recognizes the importance of ongoing conversations about racial equality, justice and acknowledgement of the complexities of Canada’s past. Angélique’s harrowing story sheds light on the history of Black enslavement in what is now Canada, and how those who were enslaved resisted their bondage. With no known portraits of Angélique, the stamp illustration is based on a photograph taken by Jorge Camarotti of actor and model Penande Estime. The stamp is designed by Nathalie Cusson of Scooter Design, illustrated by Alexis Eke and printed by Colour Innovations.

Canada Post has received the latest offers from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and is extremely disappointed that their intent appears to be to widen the gap in negotiations, rather than close it. The union’s latest demands are a major step backwards, reinforcing the status quo and adding significant, unsustainable long-term fixed costs.
