The Order of Canada

66 Day 646, 14:46 Canada
On August 24th, 2008, then Canadian Prime Minister Adam Sutler instituted the Order of Canada. Let me begin by quoting his words on that day.

"On July 1st 1967, Canadian Prime Minister Lester Pearson established the Order of Canada to recognize the achievements of some of Canada's greatest citizens.

Today, as President of eCanada, I am doing the same. There are many eCanadian citzens worthy of recognition; be they for their contributions to the economic health of our nation; for the military successes our nation has enjoyed; the political milestones they have created; or an exceptional commitment or improvement of eCanadian society. The Order of eCanada is meant to recognize these eCanadians, and all that they have done. The recipients of this award have the right to add their respective Order Rank into their profiles as a badge of honor, to show to all eCanadians what they have done for the country."

One year later, as we go through the turmoil of a World War, and as we struggle to rebuild our country, it makes sense for us look at the achievements made in modern times, by Canadians and the friends of Canada, at to recognize their accomplishments in the rebirth of Canada.

There are three levels to the order. They are:

Companion: the highest grade, Companions of the Order of Canada have demonstrated the highest degree of merit to Canada and humanity, on the national or international scene.

Officer: Officers of the Order of Canada have demonstrated an outstanding level of talent and service to Canadians.

Member: Members of the Order of Canada have made an exceptional contribution to Canada or Canadians at a local or regional level, group, field or activity.

I should note before I announce the August 2009 recepients of this award, that these are not military decorations. Those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in our military operations will be awarded on forum Medals as that mod becomes operational.

Dean22, if you want to get into monetary donations, I should remind you that the 4th platoon donated roughly 300g in one contest, not counting the countless weapons, etc. Same goes for me because I've probably spent over 500g tanking in this war.

Oh I have spent well over 1000g tanking in this war not including the 300g for BC.

But BC is a very large donation for one battle, one day and one person.

I am both honoured and humbled to be associated with such a fine group of eCanadian Citizens.

This Great Patriotic War (Thats what I choose to call this past war) has brought out the best in so many of us.

We will only be a stronger, wiser and more prepared eCanada in the future to come.

That was the enemy's first mistake! That we would just roll over like so many have before us - and after us.

The eFuture is ours.

Oh yeah, believe it.

@ Dean22 - In my mind I donated a million gazillion of my own gold to the BC resistance war so..... HA BEAT THAT!!!

MUAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!

I have seen qn20, Leroy Combs, Durruti, and Lucius Varenus play critical roles in many of the important battles to liberate Canadian provinces. I don't know everybody, but on this basis one can see the awards are going to deserving people inside and outside Canada.

Obviously this is an acknowledgement of commitment, sacrifice, and accomplishment, not some specific amount of cash. Equally obvious is that there are many people who are as deserving, or almost as deserving, who will likely receive these honours in the future.


@Glados > I think you have the wrong number. Orders of Canada aren't for sale, and self-congratulation without accomplishment belongs on the British forums. But maybe you can find some Orders of the Garter on eBay, as we've seen that Britain's honour can be bought cheap.
