Too much fly-specking circum-buzzing the Canada forum.  Which non-reigning person is depicted the most on Canadian stamps?

For the first 57 years of Canadian stamps, I believe he was the only non-royal person to appear on Canadian stamp. He was joined in 1908 by some other non-royal family (Champlain, Wolfe and Montcalm) on the 1908 Quebec tercentenary |

I did notice that Jacques Cartier is in your avatar stamp, if you meant the first non-reigning person to be shown on a Canadian stamp. |

Regardless of your faith, Jesus has a definite historical presence, with much evidence to show that he was not mythological.
Good question, good answer. |

I'm with CanadaStamp...Jesus is mythological. But I also have to say that Jesus was crowned with the crown of thorns which means he is not the answer.
Therefore I am with Wert on this one...the correct answer should be Jacques Cartier. |

Actually the second most appearances is from an uncrowned Santa Claus. If you look at all the Christmas stamps throughout the decades he has had a few. The best part he is real and not mythical...go figure...lol |

Considering that Easter just passed, it seems appropriate to say that I'm not sure how anyone can say that Jesus was not a historical presence, though I suppose there are always a few who will not let evidence change their opinion. The documentation is overwhelming (not just from early Christian sources, but from Roman/Greek as well (e.g. Joshephus).
A quote from just one of many sources:
"Although a very small number of modern scholars argue that Jesus never existed, that view is a distinct minority..." (Jesus as a Figure in History: How Modern Historians View the Man from )Galilee by Mark Allan Powell 1998 ISBN 0-664-25703-8 pages 168–173
PS: A crown of thorns is not a "crown" in the sense of royalty obviously, it was simply a way to mock the claims Jesus made to His divinity and Kingship. |
