Attention News Editors:

Campaign Life Coalition is appalled that Henry Morgentaler should even be considered for the Order of Canada

TORONTO, June 28 /CNW/ - It has come to the attention of Campaign Life
Coalition (CLC) that the Governor General intends to bestow the Order of
Canada on abortionist Henry Morgentaler on July 1st.

"It is dreadful that this honour should even be considered for a man
who's only claim to fame is that he is a professional killer of defenseless
babies in their mothers' wombs," said Jim Hughes, National President of
Campaign Life Coalition. "Those who have received this prestigious medal
should return it because it will have been devalued and disgraced," he
continued.

"If Morgentaler had any integrity he would refuse the medal", said Mary
Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of CLC. "This presentation should be given
to people who have made Canada a better place to live and the elimination of
thousands of human beings who would have contributed to the future of Canada
is a disgrace not an honour."

Campaign Life Coalition calls on the Federal Government to address the
Governor General stating the inappropriateness of this action. Concerned
people should contact the Governor General's office and express their disgust.

Organizer CLC, (613) 389-4472 (phone and message)

Is this true? How could this be? On July 1st?

Is Michaelle Jean that dumb?

What the heck is this all about?

The Order of Canada is nothing more than a Cracker Jack prize. I wouldn't be caught dead with one.

Everything wicked is always done in the darkness. I see the weasels who put this through are doing it before there can be any discussion about it, before a long weekend. How typical.

But I can’t believe how stupid the pro-aborts are. There are many people who are not pro-life, but do not think it’s a particularly good idea to award such a controversial figure the Order of Canada, which is supposed to be an award bestowed on a person that the vast majority of Canadians can support. It just goes to show that the Order of Canada has become a dumping ground for every socialist and their pet cause. It’s hardly something that decent Canadians put any value on anymore. This decision basically cements this perception.

If this is true, I am particularly incensed by the Governor General, Michaëlle Jean. She had the audacity to show her face at last week’s International Eucharistic Congress in Quebec City which was all about the gift Jesus’ life to the world. There were probably more pro-lifers gathered there than at any other time in the past 25 years. And now on Tues. July 1 - Canada Day no less - she is going to award the nation’s highest civilian honour to a butcher who has killed tens of thousands of unborn Canadian babies.

I’m sure the “Conservative” Government will do nothing about it, either. They’ll claim that such decisions, like the CHRC fatwas, are not made by the government but by an “independent” group.

Still, like what happened with Robert Mugabe and his knighthood, the Order of Canada can be rescinded too.

One day, it will be. You can count on it.

E-mail the Govenor General’s Office at info@gg.ca or call (613) 993-8200 or toll-free at 1 800 465-6890 to express your outrage.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that pro-lifers won the Facebook contest on Canada Day last year.

Just wondering.

They should call it the Order of Trudeau (as with Order of Lenin) and have his face on it ... perhaps we should start a parallel Order of the Dominion, and award them to those who really merit our nation's highest honour. Some of course have the Order of Canada, if it were in my possession, I would be sending it back pronto.

I can't recall the URL ... should be easy enough for you to find ... but last year I visited the Order of Kandahar's website and scrolled through the list of recipients for an hour or so (had too much spare time on my hands that evening.)

All of the lower orders of kandahar were folks who would be utter unknowns outside their home province ... and folks we would have no objection to honouring in some way : community volunteers who had put in a lifetime of service to others.

These were folks who did what earned them the award NOT because they SOUGHT recognition and prizes, but because they thought they OUGHT to do such things, as part of being a decent human being. They were self-effacing, humble, and DIDN'T nominate themselves.

ALL of the upper Orders of Kandahar were political appointees and self-seekers, who coveted and lobbied for reception of the 'honour.' In many instances you could tell that there had to have been organized campaigning and lobbying (to advance the candidate's 'issue') to get the award for the individual.

The award is a farce. Grass-roots Canadians recognize it is a farce ... nothing more than the elites creating and awarding one another a prize ... a mutual-admiration society.

It has no credibility.

Don't pray loudly in public, for the purpose of having others see you pray, and think you a good and holy person.

Pray to your Father in secret.

The humble see 20-20. The proud are blind.

From an email I received:

It has JUST COME TO OUR ATTENTION that, despite a large out cry against this a couple months back, Dr. Henry Mortgentaler will likely receive the highest honour in Canada on Monday/Tuesday, the Order of Canada. This is a surprise to us as we were assured by the Governor General's office that there were no plans to honour him. So we, perhaps like you, have been stunned by this announcement and left wondering what has happened behind closed doors.

Normally anyone who receives this award does so by unanimous consent of the committee that approves nominees. From what we understand at this point, this committee, headed by Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin, PC, decided to over-ride that protocol and take this one to a democratic vote on the committee. The majority of the committee voted in favour of Morgentaler's nominee and so, for (what we understand) may be the first time in history the committee appointed someone without their normal unanimous consent - someone who millions of Canadians would not consider a hero in our nation.

As has been discussed here many times, with 220 appointments every year at it's various levels, the designation has become meaningless. Ultimately every living soul in the country would be so designated, at which point, well what's then the point?

In the case of this farce with Morgentaler, if I were a legitimate recipient, say someone like a Gordon Lightfoot, I would actually return mine and ask to be removed from the list.

I would nominate the neighbor's dog for the "Disorder of Kanuckistan" for her keen ability to sit down on the lawn and drag her ass around in successful attempts to date at dislodging "will-nots" from her posterior area but I fear that she would put to shame others who have received the disorder.

I am currently making a collection of "will-nots" she has dislodged and have then "jarred" and placed them on display in the garage. They are all named and the biggest rankest one is named after turdeau. Other notable "will nots" in the colection are cretin, rock, Mclellan and even one named after the pseudo flatfoot who charged myself and three other good people at a landowners' protest in Renfrew.

The collection is a "whose who" of lieberaldom since the sixties. It was admittedly a struggle to be able to overcome the apparent disgrace to the venerable "will nots", linking them to scumbags. I hereby apologize to all "will nots" out there for this travesty.

Is there any sense in contacting my MP and expressing my disdain? Is there anything he could do?
