So happy to hear this. Not only is it well and truly deserved, but it will make those alternatively-educated right wingers lose their alleged minds.

![Chris Morrissey was a Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ activist who successfully challenged Canada’s immigration laws in 1992 when her Irish-American partner’s application for immigration was rejected.
[snip]
Hearing from other couples experiencing the same issue, Morrissey and her partner Bridget Coll founded the Lesbian and Gay Immigration Task Force (LEGIT) in Vancouver to assist same-sex couples of different nationalities find legal loopholes to enable their cohabitation within Canada.
In 2002, the federal government introduced new laws that allowed one common-law partner to sponsor another.
She co-founded and led Rainbow Refugee in Canada, an organization that assists 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals to leave countries where persecution exists and resettle in Canada.
Among Chris’s many accolades, she was a recipient of the Officer of the Order of Canada award and one of Dignity Seniors Society’s inaugural Q-Elders Project recipients.
From transition homes for women leaving violence, to our local 2SLGBTQIA+ community centre (now QMUNITY), Queer seniors advocacy, and disability justice at the City of Vancouver, there are so many ways that her work lives on through bettering the lives of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Canada.
Chris passed away peacefully surrounded by her chosen family. Until her final days, she remained dedicated to supporting immigrants, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized groups through her advocacy and community work.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/343/930/299/125/902/original/306564bf059826a7.png)
Earlier this week, Buffy Sainte-Marie returned her Order of Canada: “It was very lovely to host the medals for awhile, but I return them with a good heart,” she says.
She stated that she is an American Citizen, and has always "made it completely clear" to the federal government she was not Canadian.

Via the #TimesColonist, Feb 07, 2025
The appointment of singer-songwriter #BuffySainteMarie to the #OrderOfCanada has been terminated by Governor General #MarySimon
The move comes after a #CBC report in 2023 questioned Sainte-Marie's #Indigenous heritage, saying it found a birth certificate that indicated she was born in 1941 in #Massachusetts.
Family members in the U.S. told CBC that Sainte-Marie was not adopted and doesn't have Indigenous ancestry
Buffy Sainte-Marie has been stripped of her Order of Canada appointment. First reported in the National Post [1]
If you are new to the story, for more context, I recommend watching the original 2023 CBC investigation by The Fifth Estate [2]
And counterbalancing that by reading Michelle Cyca's article "What's the Point of 'Pretendian' Investiations?" [3]
