‘I was sending some mail at my local Waterloo Canada Post Office today…’

writes Mohammed Shouman:

when I noticed that the Canada-Israel stamps were not among other stamps that were prominently displayed on the wall and behind the counter’s glass panes. So I asked the postal worker if he had any available in here for sale. He responded in the positive and proceeded to bring them to me. To my surprise, they were concealed in an obscure drawer in the back of the counter.

…he apologetically elaborated that he did not want to cause certain “business partners” to be disturbed by seeing the stamps. He also said he didn’t want to personally face any repercussions for displaying the stamps. (…)

I ran a quick Google search to see if this was just an isolated incident. Seems I’m not the only one who encountered this…
