Willie Adams invested into Order of Canada
Willie Adams, Canada’s first Inuk senator, is invested into the Order of Canada Thursday at a ceremony in Rideau Hall. Adams is pictured with Gov. Gen. Mary Simon during the investiture ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Adams was appointed to the Senate in 1977, representing the Northwest Territories. He became Nunavut’s first senator when it split from the Northwest Territories to become a territory of its own in 1999. Adams retired from the Senate in 2009, at the mandatory age of 75.

For 22 years he raised his arm when told to do so by the Liberal party, for that he receives the Order of Canada?
Hey STUP, it’s all party lines…. boo hoo.
Someone tell me that the young healthy-looking male in the picture is not 90.
