"On Friday, Governor General David Johnston announced the termination of the former media mogul’s appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada effective immediately.
The motion was recommended by an 11-member Advisory Council following Black’s 2007 convictions in the U.S. for fraud and obstruction of justice." The Huffington Post. Recommend this post
I am in favour of rehabilitating felons but this felon is an exception. He needs no rehabilitation. Especially he must not spread his shenanigans to rest of the world via TV.
A journalist by the name of Peter Worthington opines that “Black is as Canadian as maple syrup”. Worthington says Black’s renunciation of Canadian citizenship was because of Jean Chretien. Mr. Worthington, Canada is composed of Canadians and Jean Chretien is not Canada as Harper is not Canada. Moreover, Black is a convicted felon.
Now that he is here maybe Harper should appoint Black a Senator because Black does support conservative causes. It is sickening that Cons will take this kind of position.
Mr. Gary Freeman is Canadian too. Why is he denied entry into Canada? Because he is a black man.
Kenny also accused Mr. Freeman of being a cop-killer and a former member of the Black Panther movement, both accusations are untrue. The cop-killing accusation was made in the House of Commons thus he may have immunity there and cannot be sued. However, outside the House of Commons he called Mr. Freeman a cop-shooter.
In case of Conrad Black, who is a convicted felon, Mr. Kenney has rolled out the welcome mat for him. Apparently he is a rich white man. I understand there are many other immigration and refugee cases where Kenney’s approach has been xenophobic and racist. Kenny and his boss Harper are giving a real bad name to Canada. Canadians must not sit silently and see these hideous policies of the Harper government unfold.
As far as Mr. Freeman shooting a cop in 1969 we must read the case of Rodney King and how was he treated by the Los Angeles police, and what ensued.
At age 16 she was accidently shot and lost her nose, eyes and part of her face. It was a miraculous survival. 11 years later through good prosthetics she gets her eyes, nose and face back. She still can’t see but the operation is extraordinary. The above video has the details.
Then there is Conrad Black. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He himself made a lot of money as a media baron. And when he should have been enjoying it all he screwed up. Now he is sitting in a jail somewhere in Florida. Last night there was a two hours documentary on him on The Passionate Eye of CBC.
A question on “the survival of the fittest”. Who is the fittest here? Chrissy Steltz or Conrad Black? More fit they are harder they fall.
