From an official site of the Canadian Tourism Commission (quite a sales pitch!):
Race to the window or run outside to see
ribbons of green, red, blue and purple rippling across the sky, gathering
momentum until the Northern Lights shimmer and loop over the entire horizon in
surreal swathes of colour. Watch in silence in Nunavut and you’ll understand
how many Inuit believe the lights become so intense they sing or crackle. The
Aurora Borealis is Mother Nature’s light show so grab a front row seat in fall,
winter and early spring when nights are long and dark. Try your luck at
fly-fishing for Arctic Char by the lights of the Aurora in far Northern Quebec
or pair light-peeping in the Northwest Territories with a locally sourced,
gourmet meal of caribou, or pickerel plucked from an icy lake near your log
lodge. The Aurora is so bright it can light the way for snowmobilers on
Labrador's epic Cain's Quest or for dog mushers and cross-country skiers in the
Yukon. But the breathtaking displays are just as enjoyable from within the cozy
confines of a cabin, tent or glimpsed through the steam of an outdoor hot tub in
the lap of luxury. Then slide under a duvet or into a sleeping bag and dream of
Technicolor cosmic fairies.
This beautiful postcard was sent by Sarah K (blubutterfly) of Alberta, Canada (23 April 2014) Swap-bot.

This second postcard is a Zazzle card from Meeghan (Postcrossing, July 2018) who said that they could see the Northern Lights from their home location.
and the stamp that she used also shows (I think) the Northern Lights over Canada.
