Canada had a renewed interest in stamp collecting among young people in the late 1980s after the TV movie Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller came out. But it died out pretty quickly as Canada Post switched to printed stamps, and as kids grew out of it.
If you've not seen it, there's a fantastic children's movie from the 80s called "Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller" where all the kids collect stamps, and it's a great stamp movie. Do check it out.
