Order of Canada: Honouring a Murderer

The members of the current Order of Canada committee have chosen to give a black eye to all we've previously chosen to hounour, by devaluing the prestige of the Order of Canada, by granting it to a bloodsmeared murderer of the unborn. They ought to be held accountable for this disgrace, and asked to step down. Using their position to push their ideological agenda is despicable, and they should have known better when they had a split decision on whether or not to grant him the distinction... which is now worthless.

Barbara Kay has some good thoughts in today's National Post... "Barbara Kay: Henry Morgentaler does not deserve the Order of Canada"

Here's what I'm hoping for... that someone who's been previously honoured with the Order of Canada will publicly return their medal, and withdraw from the Order.

Who is this group accountable to? From what I understand, it's the Governor General herself. She'll be getting my two cents on this one.

For shame.

NOTICE: Obviously, I'm not going to bother publishing certain vile pro-murder comments on this post, but if you have something of substance to add to the debate, I'll judge it on it's merits.

UPDATE: I've sent off the following letter to Her Excellency, Michaelle Jean, Governor General of Canada, asking her to reconsider the bestowing this honour on this dishonourable man, and that she examine the members of the Nominating Committee, and ask for their resignations. (for those who supported his nomination)
