CatherineM Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I know I can tease sometimes with titles, but not this time. As a Canadian citizen, I am now one of the Queen's subjects, and I'm being awarded a medal. My member of parliament, and Alberta's Lieutenant Governor nominated me for it. Lieutenant Governor's here aren't Governor's flunkies. They are the head of our provincial governments and sign all laws in place of the Queen. It's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal. It is awarded for having made an honourable service in military, police, prison, and emergency forces, or for outstanding achievement or public service. I won't receive the official citation until the ceremony on October 11th, so I don't know for sure what I'm getting it for. The LG's office won't tell me. I'm kind of floored.

Ed Normile Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 They won't tell you what the citation is for ? Watch out those canadians are a tricky bunch, you may wind up collecting maple syrup in western canada for the rest of your life. Congratulations, funny thing when I first read the start of your post I thought you wrote "... I am being awarded a meal " I thought wow a meal with the Queen, after finishing the post I knew something was wrong that is when I read it again and noticed I missed the " d " in medal. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
