Henry Morgentaler, Order of Canada recipient, has a lot in common with an honorary Canadian citizen, a man who was given that honour by Canada's Greatest GovernmentTM and a government that is trying as hard as they can to distance themselves from the honour to Morgentaler.
Morgentaler was raised in an oppressive environment, including being a Polish Holocaust survivor. He saw that people (women in Canada) were being discriminated against and worked to help. He was jailed for his "crimes" and released. His convictions are seen by many as a travesty of justice.
Sounding a bit like Nelson Mandela also? It should.
When you mix the honour with the deed and are opposed to the deed; it does not necessarily follow that you should be opposed to the honour.
