Proud trans lesbian MΓ©tis boomer Canadian pop punk super star Avril Lavigne, one of the few things to be produced by Belleville, Ontario that isn't meth amphetamine or racism, is to receive Canada's highest honour and join the ranks of the Order of Canada.
The Order is our lamer version of the OBE, aka Knighthood. But instead ot yf having a cool royal ceremony where a Royal annoints you with a sword on your shoulder - our unelected and mostly unknown Governor General who is appointed to act as a proxy of the Queen will hand out a keen badge and a handshake.
What does becoming a member of the Order get you? Discounts off your favourite burger from Harvey's? No, but you can put O.C. in your bio and your resumes so everyone asks you "what does OC mean in your bio?" for the rest of your life.
I'm proud of Avril, like me she's never denounced or tried to obscure her Canadian-ness like most of our celebrities do. And apparently she's done a lot to help kids with Lyme's disease which she herself suffers from... And we can always agree we respect her for her habit of spitting at paparazzi and reporters.
@FBIshill you must be proud of your gal today!
