Too much fly-specking circum-buzzing the Canada forum.

Which non-reigning person is depicted the most on Canadian stamps?

I believe your answer to that is Jacques Cartier
He was on 6 separate 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

You didn't say mythological so that's why nobody got it.

Also, some might not agree that Jesus was uncrowned. :)

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.

3Dadeo - you wish. No historical evidence. Nuff said.

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.
