Congratulations, Mars....I mean Django.

Antony Meertens was governor from March 1802 to September 1803 when the big bad British warship landed in Georgetown and every Dutchman scatter.

BTW, as a journalist I met and interviewed Antony Meertens' great great great great grandson Benjamin Meertens at his Soesdyke home in 1993. He showed me documents to prove his lineage.

And, yes, the governor's first name is Antony, without an "h".

Pickcha lika pickcha.

Who was the first foreigner to become Honorary Citizen of Canada?

Iman.

I thought was Warria? You sure was u?

Raoul Wallenberg (first technically, a Posthumous awardee)

It is the first living recipient I mean. So, Nelson Mandela is the answer.

Congratulations, and thanks a lot for giving the name of the dead recipient too.

Another bit of interesting info along those lines...Sir Winston Churchill was made an Honorary Citizen of the U.S. even though his mother was an American, so he was kind of an American in a way.
