I think that it's possible for essentially random people to be honoured shows just how bad things are being run.
Does nobody do even the slightest bit of checking out who is being honoured? The whole thing makes me think that people are just running on empty, doing whatever pops into their heads without the slightest bit of actual thought.
Glorified Roombas, the lot of them, and that might be an insult to Roomba.
It's an insult to everyone who actually earned their honour.
Not an enviable position. You know you have to put on a show for Zelenskyy, else the Canada public will lose their shit that the guest wasn't properly entertained, but nobody there gives a rat's ass about any of it β only done to keep with tradition on the social pressure to keep the tradition alive. Of course nobody is going to spend time researching something they couldn't care less about. Which lead to the Canadian public losing their shit anyway.
When did Canada become such a grumpy place?
