Legal Challenge To Morgentaler Order Of Canada Rejected

Despite numerous violations to the protocol, the Federal Court won't review the case. No surprise here, considering that one of those directly involved in sneaking Canada's chief abortionist through the backdoor was none other than Chief "Justice" Beverley McLachlin:
A Federal Court ruled that the Governor General’s 2008 induction of Henry Morgentaler into the Order of Canada cannot be legally contested. Frank Chauvin, a retired Windsor police officer and a member of the Order of Canada, challenged the abortionist’s award, objecting to the secretive process by which the Order’s Advisory Council made its selection and taking issue with reports that the Council abandoned its own protocols to drive through Morgentaler’s nomination. Chauvin also argued that the Council’s chair, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, should have recused herself from voting on the nomination, given that Morgentaler is regularly before the courts and could again have business before the Supreme Courf of Canada.

Federal Court Prothonotary Kevin Aalto said that Chauvin does not have standing to bring the case. The judge also said the Governor General’s Royal Prerogative is not subject to review.
So, here you have it. She can misuse the Royal Prerogative to award the nation's highest honor to someone whose only achievement was unleashing the abortion holocaust upon that very same nation. She can twist the protocol, ignore the advisory committee vote, forge a backroom deal that would remain under cover until the very last moment. Then, once some rumors start leaking out, she and her office staff can openly mock anyone who calls to express their protest by giving them the phone number of Campaign Life Coalition. ("Go, complain to someone who cares; GG office doesn't" - is that how we're supposed to understand that?) And there's nothing we can do about it. Except looking forward to the end of her term. Hopefully, whoever replaces her uses the very same Royal Prerogative to reverse this shameful patronage appointment.
