Nanaimo bar gets Canada Post stamp, but critics question base-to-filling ratio

The Nanaimo bar, arguably B.C.’s most famous contribution to the pantheon of sweet treats, has received the stamp of approval from Canada Post. “Rich and chocolatey Nanaimo bars have been associated with their namesake Vancouver Island city since the no-bake recipe first appeared there in the 1950s,” Canada Post announced on its website, in advance of the stamp set’s April 17 issue date. Prompted to assess the stamp, Hardcastle gasped, then agreed with the online commentary: Canada Post’s Nanaimo bar is almost baseless, but the criticism is not.
