Can a Canadian be knighted

Answer 1

All prime minsters during Queen Victoria's reign and up until the advent of WW1 were knighted save for Alexander MacKenzie who refused the knighthood. After WW1, Canada had established itself as a nation and the knighthood for Queen's ambassadors was no longer appropriate.

Answer 2

yes, i believe that can because Elizabeth II is the Queen of Canada. However, i think that they will only get the KBE (Knight of the British Empire) after their name in stead of "sir" or "dame". For example, instead of Sir John Smith it will be John Smith KBE

NO, British Royalty has no role in our government, other than to drive around our streets at great expense waving at people who still believe they are British subjects. They are not and cannot be kinghted as a British subject or UK citizen can.

Canadians can still be knighted because anyone can be knighted, even, god forbid, Americans. For example Bill Gates.

BUT should a Canadian accept such a title they will have to give up their Canadian citizenship. A recent example is Conrad Black.

I said will but reality can be different. French titles have been accepted and there is the ability to receive an exception.

If a Canadian wants to be knighted or titled in any other country and remain a Canadian they should make sure they have greased the right palms and a good PR campaign. Conrad Black had neither so had to give up his citizenship.
