Stamp collectors are calling on the U.S. to reissue its 2008 Sunflower stamp (Sc. 4347, shown on the right) as a 60¢ semipostal stamp and Canada to issue an emergency semipostal, both for refugee relief. Brian Grant Duff has started the Change.org petition for Canada. The U.S. petition is attributed to Allyson Becker.

About the latter, the Vancouver, B.C., storefront and internet dealer says, “Ukraine and Canada have strong historic connections … Canada Post has the ability to produce tangible symbols of people making a difference in refugees lives.” He is hoping to get at least 500 signatures, and has addressed it to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as to Canada Post.

Becker may be unaware that the U.S. already plans to issue Sunflower Bouquet two-ounce stamp on March 24, although it is not a semipostal. The two-ounce rate is currently 78¢,
