QUEBEC CITY, October 8, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - LifeSiteNews.com has learned that abortionist Henry Morgentaler will be awarded the Order of Canada on Friday at 10am in Quebec City. Official announcement is planned only for Thursday late afternoon.
LifeSiteNews.com broke the story on Morgentaler's nomination to the Order of Canada two days prior to the official proclamation, launching a media frenzy. The news service has since published over 70 news articles on the subject.
Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) the political arm of the pro-life movement has led the public outcry against the nomination with a petition of over 30,000 Canadians, commissioning the largest poll in the country on the subject (finding 56% opposed), and polling all Members of Parliament (finding over 100 MPs publicly in opposition).

So they couldn't face the pro-lifers in Ottawa, so they'll have the ceremony at the Governor-General's residence in Quebec City (my home town, GRRR!!!)
That says something.
They knew if they had it in Ottawa, we'd be at the gates of Rideau Hall.
Editted to add (at 7:00 am next day)
Hm...Morgentaler receives award on the Friday before the elections in the battleground region of Quebec City....
Anyone else thinking political manipulation?
Who do you think the press will go for commentary?
Ya think maybe Conservative candidates?
