Celebrating Canada Day in Colorado Springs is a longstanding tradition in the region. Each July 1st, the NORAD deputy commander and senior Canadian military officer in the United States hosts more than 400 guests to honor our nation’s birth and share Canadian culture with Canadian Armed Forces personnel, their families, U.S. military partners and local leaders.

This year, for Canada’s 148th birthday, the Canada Day celebration was coupled with an important military event: following a change of office ceremony, newly promoted Lieutenant-General Pierre St-Amand assumed his duties as the twenty-fourth NORAD deputy commander from outgoing deputy commander Lieutenant-General Alain Parent. NORAD commander Admiral Bill Gortney and Canadian Chief of the Defence Staff General Tom Lawson presided over the events.

“I have been privileged to spend the past three years here as the NORAD deputy commander,” said Lieutenant-General Parent. “I have no doubt that Lieutenant-General St-Amand is the best choice to assume these duties and I thank all the Canadian and American men and women for their tireless dedication to the mission of protecting North American airspace from any and all threats.”

In his Canada Day address, Lieutenant-General St-Amand noted that NORAD is a brilliant example of Canada–U.S. cooperation and mutual trust, saying that the relationship exemplifies something beyond a bi-national security agreement.

“I am both honoured and grateful to have been given the opportunity to continue NORAD’s mission as the deputy commander and I look forward to continue to build upon our strong bi-national partnership which is essential in the defence of North America,” Lieutenant-General St-Amand said. “We are, indeed, much more than neighbours.”

In another example of the strong relationship our two countries hold, Admiral Gortney presented Lieutenant-General Parent with the United States Legion of Merit – Degree of Officer. The U.S. Legion of Merit may be awarded to any member of the Armed Forces of the United States or of a friendly foreign nation who has distinguished himself/herself by exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements to the United States.

In turn, General Lawson presented the U.S. Northern Command deputy commander, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant-General Michael Dubie, with the Canadian Meritorious Service Medal for dedication. The Meritorious Service Medal recognizes a military deed or activity performed in a highly professional manner, according to a very high standard that brings benefit or honour to the Canadian Forces.

“I am honored to receive the Canadian Meritorious Service Medal,” Lieutenant-General Dubie said. “It was unexpected, and I sincerely appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Canadian military for this recognition for a job that I see as an opportunity to serve the citizens of both the United States and Canada.”

These honours are two of the highest military honours bestowed on those who serve our nations.

The unique relationship between Canada and the United States, which has been forged over years of mutual defence and meeting mutual security needs, has grown from a defence partnership to a familial partnership that has extended into the Colorado Springs community. Each year, the Canada Day event serves as an opportunity for the robust Canadian community to express its gratitude to businesses and organizations for their support of Canada and of Canadian personnel and their families since the signing of the NORAD Agreement in 1958.

******************************************************************************YES, USA ALWAYS WARS WITH EVERYONE TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD AND SUCKS CANADA IN ALONG FOR THE RIDE TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK. WAKE-UP! WHICH SIDE DO YOU THINK THIS GOVERNMENT IS ON, HINT REPTILIAN QUEEN ELIZARDBETH AND THE DEMONIC BEINGS FROM HELL, THAT IS. PROBLEM IS NO ONE IS WRITING TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT THE CANADIAN MILITARY IS UP TO LATELY? HOW MANY HAVE DEFECTED AND COME TO THEIR SENSES THAT KILLING IS AGAINST GOD AS THE MEAT MONEY GRINDING WAR MACHINE IT IS? HOW MANY HAVE REALIZED THAT GOVERNMENT MILITARY IS AGAINST THE PEOPLE AND REVOLVES AROUND THE BANKSTERS AND POLITICIAN DEMONIC REPTILES.  WHEN YOU HAVE – HARPER – 100 % REPTILE, SAME WITH OBAMA REPTILIAN! HOW LONG BEFORE HE IS HUNTED DOWN FOR STEALING, LYING AND BETRAYING CANADA, LIKE OBAMA IS BETRAYING USA. WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR REPTILIAN GOVERNMENT FINALLY REALIZE THAT THEY ARE ON THE “WRONG TEAM” AGAINST THE NORMAL PEOPLE WHO DO NO WRONG. BEING PAID TO KILL OTHER HUMANS, ARE OWN KIND TO LEAVE MORE REPTILES AND HYBRIDS IN CONTROL, LIKE THEY DON’T CONTROL THE WHOLE WORLD ALREADY. EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT THE NEW WORLD ORDER, WE HAVE BEEN UNDER THE “NEW WORLD ORDER,” ALL ALONG, EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF LAST RULES THEY WANT TO THROW At US. HOWEVER, THE AWAKENED ONES ARE FIGHTING THEM TOOTH AND NAIL AND WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL ALL ARE ARRESTED THAT SCREWED OVER OUR PLANET, FOR SOME 2,770,000 ODD YEARS, ACCORDING TO A FEW RESOURCES.

HOWEVER THE LIGHT FORCES ARE STILL FIGHTING THE DARK ONES, BUT THE MAIN INTEREST IN WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, ON EARTH. AS THE SPACE THING IS DOMINATED BY DARK MEETINGS AND TRYING TO SWINDLE THE EARTH OUT OF ARRESTING THE ONES TRYING TO ESCAPE THE TRADGEDY THEY FORCED ON HUMANITY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. BESIDES WE KNOW WE HAVE POSITIVE MILITARY, WHICH OBVIOUSLY MAY NEED TO ACTUALLY KILL TO FREE ALL HUMANITY. THE FACT THAT CANADA IS JOINING IN THE ISIL FIGHT IS BAD! WHEN YOU HIRE PEOPLE TO KILL OTHERS – YOU ARE JUST A HIRED ASSASSIN AND NOTHING ELSE. WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE HIRED TO PROTECT YOUR COUNTRY – YET YOUR HYBRID STAFF SARGENT TELLS YOU TO KILL YOUR OWN PEOPLE – INNOCENT CITIZENS – YOU ARE BETRAYING ALL HUMANS AND YOU DESERVE TO LOSE 37 % OF YOUR LIGHT TO WORK FOR THE DEMONIC ONE!

The Canadian Honours System

The Administration of Canadian Honours

Chapters 2 and 3 of A-AD-200-000/AG-000 – Honours, Flags and Heritage Structure of the Canadian Forces describes the CF Honours System (Note: These chapters were authorized and published after the development of the Honours and Awards on-line application process).

All Canadian national honours and their criteria are personally approved by the Sovereign, The Queen of Canada. A national honours policy exists to guide the development of the system:

• Canadian honours include orders, decorations and medals;
• The Queen of Canada is the fount of all honours;
• The Governor General acts for the Sovereign in Canada. The Governor General is advised by the Privy Council;
• Honours are the personal ministerial prerogative of the Prime Minister of Canada;
• The Government is advised by an Honours Policy Committee, which includes representatives from departments having major responsibilities in this area, such as Foreign Affairs and National Defence;
• Canadian honours are managed by the Chancellery of Government House, which is part of the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General. Questions on honours administration and on general honours policy, including the creation of new honours, may be addressed to The Chancellery, Government House (Rideau Hall).

Questions on existing honours for serving members of the Canadian Forces and for long service and good conduct awards to retired service members may be addressed to Directorate of Honours and Recognition (DH&R).

Questions on the administration of war and campaign honours for veterans of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean Conflict (less the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal for Korea, which is managed by the Chancellery) may be addressed to Veterans Affairs Canada, Honours and Awards Section.

The Evolution of Canadian Military Honours (Orders, Decorations and Medals)

At the beginning of this century Canada was a self-governing dominion within the British Empire. As the country evolved into an independent state, suggestions for the development of its own honours system grew. However, there was little early incentive to move beyond the simple policy decision that Canadian citizens could not accept knighthood or similar British honours which granted aristocratic titles. British orders, decorations and medals, from the lowest awards to the Victoria Cross, continued to be used, including during wars, when Canadian contingents formed part of deployed British forces.

Limited steps towards creating Canadian Military honours were taken in the middle of this century, beginning with a few unique medals during the Second World War. After the war, a common medal for military long service and exemplary conduct was created, the Canadian Forces Decoration. This was followed by a special campaign medal for service in Korea, a uniquely Canadian version of the Commonwealth’s award issued at the behest of our government.

The watershed in the conversion to national honours occurred with the Centennial of Confederation in 1967. Initial awards created at that time were followed by a deliberate expansion of the Canadian honours system in 1972. Since then, practice, experience and study have led to continued growth in the national system for recognizing the merit and deeds of those who serve Canada.

One guiding principle for military honours is that proposals for new awards are always made in consultation with the Canadian Forces, which are regularly consulted on such issues. That is, the views of those who would actually qualify for and be honoured by each award are given great weight. A Canadian Forces Honours Committee, representing all components of the Forces, studies these matters in depth and is careful to maintain the high standards established in the past.

Foreign Honours to Canadians

Canadian policy requires Government approval before an order, decoration or medal can be awarded to one of its citizens. Otherwise, Canada will not recognize the honour, and it cannot be worn with national honours or on a Canadian Forces (CF) uniform.

The policy has been described to all diplomatic missions accredited to Canada (Foreign Affairs Circular Note No. XDC-0678, 31 March, 2005), and is outlined in A-AD-200-000/AG-000, Chap 2, with further military instructions.

Although the policy requires approval before an award, requests after the fact which explain the presentation circumstances may be considered.

The Sovereign is the fount of all Canadian honours. Therefore, foreign honours must emanate from a similar level, a head of state or government, to be recognized. Awards originating by some other or lower authority are regarded as private honours can be accepted as private mementoes only. Except for courtesy reasons at the moment of presentation, they cannot be worn with national honours or on a CF uniform.

Canada will only approve honours which recognize meritorious activity. Canada does not engage in exchanges of honours, nor give or receive honours based solely on an individual’s status.

Canadian protocol differentiates between orders and decorations (which recognize individual meritorious activity), and campaign and service medals (which recognize honourable participation in some group activity).

Canada does not approve foreign orders and decorations for the normal performance of paid government duty. Thus, requests to award foreign honours to public employees, military or civilian, must explain why the activity to be recognized was outside the paid duties or beyond the norm expected of the individual’s rank and experience. Each such request is assessed individually.

For campaign and service medals, a request is assessed on a group basis for all who qualify for the honour. If the request is approved, the decision will guide future requests for the medal.

Nothing in this policy applies to foreign honours properly presented to a country’s own citizens. However, after immigration, a Canadian citizen can only wear foreign honours in accordance with Canadian protocol, ie, the honours must emanate from a head of state or government.

Requests to award foreign honours to Canadians must be submitted to the Canadian Honours Policy Sub-Committee through normal diplomatic channels. Further information can be obtained from:

Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
Deputy Chief of Protocol
Ottawa, Canada
K1A 0G2
(613) 996-4039
FAX (613) 943-1075.

Policy information can be obtained from The Chancellery, Government House or from National Defence Headquarters through the chain of command (for military guidance, as noted in A-AD-200-000/AG-000, Chap 2).

ALL I CAN SAY, IS THIS FALSE HONOR SYSTEM FOR THE MOST MURDERED IS DISGUSTING. REMEMBER BILL GATES BRAGGING HOW HE IS A PROFESSIONAL SNIPER AND HAS OVER 300 KILLS, LIKE IT’S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF!  I DO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE REALIZING THE EVIL STRUCTURE WE HAVE BEEN UNDER AND THAT THEY HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH MASTER THEY ARE GOING TO SERVE. THE LYING AND MANIPULATING MURDERING MASTER, SATANIC BEINGS WHO RUN THE GOVERNMENT OR THE LIGHT FORCES GUIDED AND DIRECTED UNDER GOD, WHO ARE WINNING THIS WAR AGAINST THE TYRANTS AROUND THE WORLD. YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS, IT’S IN THE BIBLE. YOU WILL LOVE ONE AND DESPISE THE OTHER IS ALSO WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE, MEANING YOU WILL LOVE YOUR MASTER, IN MY CASE IT IS JESUS AND THE GODLY GODHEAD REALM, I AM A PART OF. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT A PART OF THE MOVEMENT RE-AWAKENING YOURSELVES AND GOING BACK TO GOD, THEN YOU SERVE THE DARK AGENDA 21. SIMPLY BY NOT KNOWING THE TRUTH AND PROTECTING THE WRONG PEOPLE [DARK ENTITIES] OF THE SATANIC HUMAN SACRIFICE OF DARK MASTER OF LUCIFERIAN SATANISTS AND FREEMASONS ETC, WHO RUN CANADA AND THE USA PLUS MANY OTHER COUNTRIES. THE ALIEN REPTILE MAY HAVE TO BE DUG OUT LIKE THE REST OF THEM, IF SHE, HARPER AND OBAMA DON’T LISTEN AND STOP THE LIES, B.S. AND CONTROL OF US, WITH THE EU AND VATICAN SCABBING ALL OUR MONIES WORLDWIDE – MAFIA LEADERS THEY ALL ARE! FOR THE EXISTING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES USE YOU AS PAWNS AND FRESH MEAT FOR THE REPTILES TO EAT AND OR FREEZE THE MEAT FOR LATER. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY OUR BODIES ARE KEPT ON ICE AT THE MORGUE? TO STOP THEM FROM ROTTING AS SOME OF IT IS ACTUALLY FOOD FOR LATER.

******************************************************************************

UNTIL THESE MILITARY UNITS ARE WORKING FOR US, HUMANITY – NOT THE ILLUMINATI CORPORATIONS OF CONTROL – FAT CHANCE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME AS THEY ARE OUT TO ARREST THE GOOD GUYS OR TRASH THEM. WHAT ARE WE LEFT WITH IN THE MEANTIME FOR SAVING HUMANITY AND THE WORLD? THE FORCES OF GOD AND THE LIGHT FORCES WHO ARE WORKING THEIR BUTTS OFF AND RISKING THEIR LIVES FOR YOU. THE GREAT THING IS THE LIGHT IS BUILDING-UP MORE EVERY DAY! TRUST – NOT YOUR EXISTING ALIEN RUN GOVERNMENT, TRUST YOUR NEW GOVERNANCE WHICH IS TO COME ABOUT SOON. REMEMBER DAILY THAT LOVE IS YOUR SECRET WEAPON!

IT IS SO SAD – TO SEE SO MANY BRAIN-WASHED – THEN MIND-CONTROLLED ONCE THEIR IN THE ARMIES FOR A WHILE. WHO REALLY THINK THEY ARE DOING GOOD BUT HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY ARE PROMOTING THE NWO EVIL. THE REPTILIANS ARE KNOWN FOR WEARING BLACK SUN GLASSES, THE WRAP AROUND BEING THEIR FAVORITES OF COURSE TO HIDE THE WINDOWS TO THE SOUL. HOW MANY ARMY AND EVEN POLICE LATELY OVER THE YEARS DO THIS SAME THING AS WELL, ESPECIALLY IN THE STATES, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA ETC.
