Canada Post has released a new Diwali stamp depicting traditional elements like toranas, marigold flowers and diyas. Designed by Kristine Do and Rena Chen, it features a vibrant background of purple-blue with warm orange, yellow, green and white. The $5.52 stamp is meant to mark Diwali celebrated by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. This is the 5th Diwali stamp from Canada Post since 2017. Diwali celebrations also took place in Ottawa, including an event at Parliament Hill attended by opposition leader Pierre Poilievre. Co-hosted by MP Todd Doherty, it was the 23rd Parliament Hill Diwali event, started in 2000 by late MP Deepak Obhrai. Poilievre tweeted it was a wonderful celebration of light over darkness.
