Sad to see Canada catching the Chicago bug by selling awards to the highest bidder. I remember when member in the Order of Canada was a prestigious award. Nowadays , it is a shoty thing less equal in value than earning a doctorate honorary degree.
You can nominate yourself, I'm sure there would be no shortage of support
