  1. With the advent of a new Governor General, it's time to revive one of my longstanding policy proposals: the King should make the GG a dame, and she should offer to make all Companions and Officers of the #OrderOfCanada knights and dames.

    It's good to have a system for the government to recognise Canadians who've dedicated themselves to the service of their country and community, but it would be better if the honour were more explicit than a pin and a post-nominal.

  3. We'd like to know how Tim Uppal, Amanpreet Gill, Jasraj Hallan and Jagsharan Mahal feel about Pierre Poilievre advocating for the Order of Canada to be bestowed upon a man who used his platform to support the Royal Canadian Legion's turban ban.

  7. I’m so proud of #Nardwuar for his #OrderOfCanada award! Does anyone know where I can listen to #TheEvaporators doing Higgledy-Piggledy? I can only find an unsatisfying unmixed live recording.

    So happy to hear this. Not only is it well and truly deserved, but it will make those alternatively-educated right wingers lose their alleged minds.

  12. Earlier this week, Buffy Sainte-Marie returned her Order of Canada: “It was very lovely to host the medals for awhile, but I return them with a good heart,” she says.

    She stated that she is an American Citizen, and has always "made it completely clear" to the federal government she was not Canadian.

  13. Buffy Sainte-Marie has been stripped of her Order of Canada appointment. First reported in the National Post [1]

    If you are new to the story, for more context, I recommend watching the original 2023 CBC investigation by The Fifth Estate [2]

    And counterbalancing that by reading Michelle Cyca's article "What's the Point of 'Pretendian' Investiations?" [3]

  14. @PNS What’s the #OrderOfCanada? Do the courts mandate that you undergo conversion therapy and become gay or something?

  15. "I feel absolutely privileged that I have had the opportunity to contribute in building our society and hoping to take it to a kinder place, a more beautiful place." ~ Kim Thuy

    Congratulation to #KimThuy for the new appointment as a member to #OrderOfCanada 🇨🇦​

    As a child, Kim came to Canada as a refugee. Her 2009 novel, 'Ru', has been a best-seller and won the Governor General's Literary Award.

    Hoping that she makes Canada an even more kinder, beautiful place.

  16. Delighted to see Paul O'Byrne named to the #OrderOfCanada for his work in #asthma research.

    Paul entered the field of #AsthmaResearch as a student of my Dad, Freddy Hargreave's, and continued on to become a valued colleague and a friend of his at the Firestone Clinic at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and McMaster University. Paul - I know Dad would be very, very proud of you, and would be cheering you on with the rest of us. Congratulations!

    Congratulations to your appointment to the #orderofcanada
    Hope to see more stuff by you here, or at Bluesky. (Btw, I have an invite code for the latter available).

    Wonderful to hear about all the Order of Canada recipients, but especially delighted to hear that #DeAdder is one of them. Richly deserved honour (and in your face #Irving's and #BNI).
