The announcement included his full name, George Mark Paul Stroumboulopoulos, which is quite a mouthful. 

Also on the list some here might know - editorial cartoonist Michael de Adder, whose work frequently appears in the Toronto Star and newspapers across the country. 

And there's a guy named Jim Richards who also got the honour, but I'm 100% sure it's not the guy who does evenings on CFRB! 

Here's the Canadian Press story on the honourees:

George Stroumboulopoulos, NYT journalist, dairy CEO among 78 named to Order of Canada

In fact, as this article indicates, he's someone else entirely. 

Jim Richards, former Friends of Second Marsh director, named to Order of Canada
