NHL's Sidney Crosby, astronaut David Saint-Jacques among 99 named to Order of Canada
Posted: Dec. 29, 2022 9:42AMCanadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques leaves the stage after speaking to media July 10, 2019, at the Canadian Space Agency headquarters in St. Hubert, Que.
If Saint-Jacques has had a lifelong obsession with perspective, it’s perhaps unsurprising that he points to the “many, many, many giants” on whose shoulders he’s been standing — and those who “made it possible for me to come back to Earth alive” — when he is singled out to receive one of the country’s highest honours.
Another new officer in the order is Harry LaForme, who became Canada’s first Indigenous appellate court judge in 2004. He said he has always remembered what the then-Liberal justice minister, Irwin Cotler, told him upon his appointment to the appeals court. “Anything is better than what we do right now,” he said, urging the government to do better on the issue and follow through on his recommendations. “We’ve got to care about the people that are incarcerated.”
