Postcard Campaign On Morgentaler Award

From "No Apologies" website:

The campaign against Henry Morgentaler’s Order of Canada is continuing. The group “4-My-Canada” has now designed some postcards that can be downloaded off the Web, printed to photo-quality paper or cardstock, and then mailed off to Ottawa.

There’s five in total. The group is urging that they be sent to Rideau Hall, to the Prime Minisetr, and to your local MP.

One of the postacards is specifically addressed to the Governor General, telling her that she will be remembered for “awarding a mass murderer the highest civilian honour in Canada.” Others, meant for MP’s, talk about the lack of public support for the award, and ask those MP’s to work to have the award revoked.

The postcards are available for downloading here.

Meanwhile I'm starting to get some replies to the e-mails I sent about 4 weeks ago. Here's what I got from the Governor General office:

On behalf of the Chancellery of Honours of the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General, I thank you for your e-mail regarding the appointment of Dr. Henry Morgentaler to the Order of Canada.

In order to preserve the confidentiality and integrity of the Canadian Honours System, the Chancellery of Honours does not comment on any decision made by the Advisory Council for the Order of Canada, an independent council chaired by the Chief Justice of Canada. This practice applies to all nominations to the Canadian Honours System. The Advisory Council reviews all nominations and transmits its decisions to the governor general. Please rest assured that your comments will be shared with the Advisory Council.

Preserving integrity? I doubt it; you can't preserve something that's no longer there. But confidentiality - sure, those guys master in keeping their backdoor deals under wraps. Not a word had leaked since late February (when it was officially announced that Morguentaler wouldn't be honored) and all the way until June 27 or 28. And then, when concerned Canadians started calling the Governor General Office, those crooks were giving them the phone number of... Campaign Life Coalition. As if it was the CLC in charge of making this disgraceful decision to honor Canada's chief abortionist.

I also got a response from my MP which unfortunately happens to be not just a Liberal, but one of the worst of them all - Brian Murphy. Here's what he wrote:

As you are no doubt aware, appointments to the Order of Canada are made by Her Excellency Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, and are based upon recommendations made by the Order of Canada Advisory Council, which is chaired by the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.

The process of appointing members to the Order of Canada was designed specifically to avoid introducing political or ideological pressure and to ensure that the Order continues to represent an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate outstanding achievement by notable citizens. I believe that it is important for us all to celebrate and respect the decisions of the Advisory Council, as well as the Governor General herself.

I appreciate the complexity of this situation in that I understand the fact that Dr. Morgentaler is highly regarded by many Canadians and widely despised by many as well. It seems a shame to me that his selection to the Order of Canada has deeply devalued the honour in the eyes of many, while greatly elevating the award according to many others, based on ideology. My hope is that in future this type of division will not be the norm, or else it will lead to the termination of the Order.

A process designed to avoid political or ideological pressure? Earth to mor... I mean Earth to Murphy! What exactly does he believe is important for us to celebrate and respect? A crooked chief "justice" who twisted the traditional protocol sneaking her beloved abortionist through the back door? A breach of an earlier promise not to grant CM to Canadian Murderer? A shameless mockery of those who phoned the GG Office to express their outrage? Or maybe - a conspiracy of silence which lasted well into Canada Day itself? (Morguentaler wasn't mentioned among other nominees in the announcement made by GG Office on June 30th.)

Murphy believes it's a shame there's such a division over honoring Canada's chief abortionist. I believe it's a shame that the Advisory Council has been overrun by a bunch of socially perverse crooks. Murphy suggests that further division may lead to the termination of the Order. Yet since the Order of Canada has become a tool to promote genocide of Canadians - abolishing it won't be that big of a loss.
