In 2007 the Royal Montreal Curling Club will turn 200 years old. I need signatures on an online petition in hopes of getting the event honored on a stamp The url is http://www.gopetition.com/online/9122.html Curling like hockey is part of the social fabric of Canada and in my opinion a better choice for selection then some recent Canada Post offerings ( Honoring wine , Lacrosse Championships, and birthday ballons )

The game of curling merits a single observance in John Robert Colombo’s book of Canadian quotations. It comes from the late actor Raymond Burr of New Westminster, British Columbia, the man who for years portrayed the lawyer Perry Mason and then a private investigator by the handle of “Ironside” on American television. “Sure I curl,” he told an interviewer from the Toronto Star in 1972. “We all curl in Canada!”
