Morgentaler’s Canada is not my Canada

That's how Douglas Farrow titled his National Post article. I could sign under each and every word. It's a dark day for Canada whose shameless unelected elite (led by "chief justice" Beverley McLachlin) went as far as violating the traditional protocol to award the highest civilian honour to a man who had unleashed a terrible genocide upon the country; for whom the only suitable award is the nazi iron cross.

It's a dark day for the true Members, Companions and Officers of the Order of Canada; for those whose contribution was truly worthy of the Order of Canada - their honor has been devalued.

It's a dark day for every Canadian. By officially endorsing unrestricted wholesale slaughter of babies (as well as by failing to condemn this twisted award) the government, the "justice", most of MPs and Senators have just demonstrated that our country whose birthday we celebrated has no future. Because there can be no future for a society that kills its own children.

If there's a silver lining in all this is that in the end, awarding Morguentaler the Order of Canada will reopen the abortion debate. There's no avoiding that. People wouldn't want to remain silent after this shameful decision.

Last but not least, how will the living members of the Order of Canada — those, that is, who believe, for whatever reason, that a great wrong is being done here — respond to the situation? Will they return their own medals in protest? How will MPs and, for that matter, the Prime Minister respond? How will the bishops and religious leaders respond? How will the people of Canada respond, those who cannot in good conscience bear the burden of being told that abortion is a “Canadian value”?

I can tell you that I myself am pondering this last question very seriously. Henry Morgentaler’s Canada is not my Canada...

Neither it's my Canada. My Canada includes the unborn. My Canada has future.

I’m with the late Louis-Philippe de Grandpré, sometime justice of the Supreme Court of Canada: “Abortion at any stage of pregnancy is murder, and any attack against the fetus is a crime. To kill a fetus is murder.”

Louis-Philippe de Grandpré was awarded the Order of Canada in 1971. What would he have said about this shameful decision if he had been still alive?
