Maybe, maybe not.
No guarantee - at this time - those "P" (permanent) stamps will give full value for a letter from April 1st on.
The Royal Mail got burnt a few years ago with those "First Class" and "Second Class" stamps when postal rates went up 53%.
I expect Canada Post will use that experience to minimize revenue losses.
Way back in January 1982, Canada Post issued those "A" stamps values at $0.30 for payment of first class mail. They are still worth only $0.30 and one needs more than two of those "A" stamps to address a domestic letter today. Canada Post may freeze the value of a "P" stamp at $0.63. Who knows?

I figured as much, they usually stop or limit sales of P stamps a few weeks before the traditional January increase. That's usually been only a few cents but people were still hoarding. With a 30%+ increase this time they probably sent out the memo yesterday. in anticipation of a run on them.
