Apple's Jonathan Ive, the designer behind the iPod and iPhone is made a Knight Commander (KBE). Now living in the US, the East London-born 44-year-old began working for the company in 1992.​

Or shoot rabbits staked to the ground?

For myself, I am pissed-off that, once again, I was left of the list of honourees for the Order Of Canada this year. 😡

An oversight that I'm sure will be corrected forthwith.

Just give me the Queen's email address, and it will all be handled.😀

Don't trouble yourself for me.

I believe she follows the Governor-General's recommendations, and it's based on life-long dedication.

Like regular folk, like me, don't have to make a living before 'service'.

So, what is the symbol of the Order of Canada? A Tim Horton's donut? A bottle of maple syrup? Maybe a bottle of Crown Royal? 😀

No trouble at all, my friend.🙂

The Governor-General and I are, how shall I say this...close.

Your modesty is commendable, but anyone who can give me the kind of grief you can deserves serious recognition.😀 😉
