...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

Booga booga: You think those shadowy Jewish elders plotting to control the world are secretive? They’re gregarious par-tay animals compared to that really secretive cabal—the folks who, twice yearly, decide who gets Canada’s highest non-military honour, the Order of Canada. No one seems to know who the heck those guys are. From the Southwest Booster:

The controversial appointment of Henry Morgentaler as a member of the Order of Canada has triggered a concern that the decision makers who are responsible for handing out Canada's highest civilian honour need to be accountable for their decisions.

However, Cypress Hills - Grasslands MP David Anderson points out that even as an MP he is unable to determine who these individuals are.

"We were astounded to discover that neither the Chair of the Council nor the Governor General's Office would give out the contact numbers for the members of the Council. My staff was told that even Members of Parliament would not be given this information. Why is this information being withheld?" Anderson commented in a recent press release.

Anderson, has called on the Chair of the Advisory Council for the Order of Canada to release the contact information for the members of the Council. Anderson made the request after numerous calls were received by his constituency office asking for contact information He has sent an e-mail request to both Beverley McLachlin, Chair of the Advisory Council for the Order of Canada, and Governor General Michelle (sic) Jean.

"Clearly making information available is in the best interest of Canadians," Anderson stated. "This is a public Council making a public decision. Council members should make themselves available. They made a controversial appointment that is being opposed by millions of Canadians."

Questions remain unanswered as to how the decision was reached, and it has been suggest that the appointment was not unanimous and in fact have been declined numerous times before it was approved.

One might be tempted to describe the Order awarders' modus operendi as "a hidden agenda" were it not for the fact that their agenda is crystal clear: give the honour to Liberals and other lefties, with a smattering of righties thrown in, just to keep things looking on the up-and-up.

Update: Michael Coren's no fan of the O of C, either.
