OK, let’s try to close this story and find out what happened with the above; via three news articles from LifeSiteNews.com July 22, 2008.

Massive New Poll: 56% of Canadian Oppose Morgentaler Order of Canada
“Whatever side of the abortion debate you are on, many Canadians from all walks of life felt this appointment went way too far and offended too many,” said Jim Hughes National President of CLC (Campaign Life Coalition). “The mass media coverage of the Morgentaler award has given us the largest abortion debate this country has ever seen in twenty years, and Canadians when they are forced to think about abortion realize it is horrible.” …

“Clearly the waves of offended Canadians speaking out have had an impact,” says Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of CLC. “When a former Lieutenant Governor speaks out and returns hi ‘Snowflake’, disavowing himself from the Order, undoubtedly that is going to have an effect.”

Ottawa, July 23, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) The advisory council for the order of “Canada has been heavily criticized in recent weeks for its pro-abortion and far left bias, especially since the decision to award the ‘the centerpiece of Canada’s honours system” to Canada’s most notorious abortionist, Henry Morgentaler. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Beverley McLachlin, who heads the advisory council, is under severe criticism for having “brutishly” honoured Morgentaler by bulldozing the nomination through the advisory committee at the last minute.”

“Another member of the advisory council with connections to a major section of the anti-life movement is Yvan Guidon. the Director of the Bio-Organic Chemistry Laboratory at the Institute de Recherches Clinique de Montreal (IRCM), who is also a member of the directors of the Stem Cell Research – the government funded research body that led the efforts to allow the creation and use of human embryos for research.” …

“Joseph Quesnel, writing in the Winnipeg Sun, said this week that the advisory council of the Order of Canada reads like a “who’s who” of the Canadian left….
now that the “dust has settled” the focus of attention should be on the make-up of the Order’s advisory council, which, as an independent body, may be free of “government entanglements” but cannot be considered without bias.”

Last week, Campaign Life Coalition, the political arm of the pro-life movement in Canada released the results of a massive poll (over 13,000 respondents) which found that 56% of Canadians oppose the nomination of abortionist Henry Morgentaler to the Order of Canada. Despite the fact that the subject was still very much in the Canadian spotlight, the mainstream media in Canada gave no coverage to the poll whatsoever. … Painful experience has shown, however, that polls conducted even the most widely quoted pollsters will not receive coverage if they are pro-life.

In closing, the above is similar to the coverage of pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-family news by the media in the U.S.A. One day we will have equal coverage.
