Tiller should have moved where we bequeath our nations highest honour for people who evade their oath. This even though he has injured women and evaded taxes for years. en.wikipedia.org Order of Canada Morgentaler was named to the Order of Canada on July 1, 2008, recognized "for his commitment to increased health care options for women, his determined efforts to influence Canadian public policy and his leadership in humanist and civil liberties organizations." Abortion-rights activists applauded the decision, saying Morgentaler put his life and liberty on the line to advance women's rights, while pro-life groups strongly criticized the award, saying it debased the Order of Canada. Several members of the order have said they will return their insignias to Rideau Hall in symbolic protest, including Roman Catholic priest Lucien Larré,Gilbert Finn, former Lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick,Frank Chauvin, a retired police detective who founded an orphanage,and the Madonna House Apostolate on behalf of the deceased Catherine Doherty. On the matter, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he'd rather see the country's highest civilian award "be something that really unifies" and "brings Canadians together",while Liberal Party leader Stéphane Dion said, "Dr. Morgentaler has stood up for a woman’s right to choose to for his entire career, often at great personal risk", and asked Canadians to respect and celebrate the decision."
