I'd never heard of this before but it's the coolest name for an award:
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today received the Grand Cross of the Order of the Pleiades, awarded by the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie to honour his contribution to the Francophonie. This is the highest level of the Order.
On receiving the award along with 13 other Canadian recipients honoured by the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie, the Prime Minister said he was moved by the honour and reiterated his government's commitment to the promotion of French in Canada and throughout the world.
