OTTAWA, June 29, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - LifeSiteNews has received confirmation through various sources that the Order of Canada Advisory Council has indeed voted to award the Order of Canada to notorious abortionist and militant atheist Henry Morgentaler. There is reported to be a movement among Members of Parliament and others to attempt to stop the award or at least protest it as being inappropriate and against the opinion of a majority of Canadians.
In an article in the National Post today, columnist Douglas Farrow reports that "The decision, which is to be announced in time for Canada Day, is clearly not driven by popular demand. For example, an online poll by the Globe and Mail, with over 300,000 respondents, went 92% to 8% against giving the award to Morgentaler."
The public and leaders of various organizations opposed to the granting of the Order of Canada to Morgentaler seem to have been deliberately blind-sided by this sudden development over Canada's major annual holiday weekend when most are pre-occupied by family and community activities. Nevertheless, pro-life organizations are scrambling to get as many people as possible to inundate the Governor General, the Prime Minister and Canada's MPs with emails and telephone calls protesting the decision.

I can dream of spending the rest of my life tending a small quiet farm on the Ile d’Orleans and thinking the rest of the world could just go away.
Absolutely sick!
Contrary to the opinion of some Torontonians, Toronto is not Ontario.
I would send my Order of Canada back if I had one, but I always got some other trinket in my Cracker Jack box.
I don’t know AAC.
Maybe a liberal could explain it to us.
Is this crap more residue from the damage done to the nation by Trudeau?
Yes sir. :-(
That sounds identical to what people in south Georgia say about Atlanta.
Dr. Death. The liberal socialist hero!
He stood up against those Canadians who remain human.
Yes , the inhuman rises above the human, Monsters above the people.
The libs in Canada are going to wear the shit on this one for a very long time.
DO NOT FORGET THIS TRAVESTY, EVER!
And vote against the politicians who spawned this liberal socialist culture from Hell!
