If our Canadian friend had posted ".50¢" or ".50¢c" ".50c¢" you would have a
point to make, but they didn't. Here is a cut and paste of the relevant
section of the post: "it sucks when you go to buy a stamp for the post
price of .50c and you have to pay .54c because of GST." There is no "¢"
anywhere in the post.
