Dude, you realize Justin Bieber is not a recipient of the Order of Canada, right? What ever you think about "gimme" medals like the QDJM, we should be holding OMM/Order of Canada holders to a higher standard which is why there's non-partisan standards boards who review things like this.
(And Bieber’s QDJM was given by Harper)
You're right. It was the Jubilee medal. And you're also right that recipients should be held to a higher standard, but we fail that on a pretty regular basis. I view it as the person makes the decoration. The decoration does not make the person. I'll likely get heat from someone about this, but Vance is a perfect example. I think he should lose his CMM for all the damage he's done to the CAF and its personnel. And his MSC should get a serious look also.
So what? It's not like he makes up the list himself.
So what? Everyone's upset with Bieber for what he wore to get the medal. Here's a list of actually controversial awards of the QDJM:
Well, if you say that medals are used for political flavouring and the Conservative government gave one to Justin Bieber, given your political beliefs, I am not sure what you are arguing. Bieber isn’t exactly known to support right wing governments.
Likewise. What was your point? Just throwing cheap digs around trying to get me going? You failed that serial miserably.
Not really. Just trying to understand what your point is. You brought up Bieber’s decoration and political flavouring as a main point of your argument. I just don’t see a link.
Right. She is, by many accounts, a pretty terrible person in terms of how she treats subordinates. But, when we as a species found a way to place her as physically remote as possible from the rest of humanity, she did some pretty good stuff that brought honour to Canada.
You are assuming that the leftist elite allow the practice of cancel culture to be included in the history books.It would just be part of the current cancel culture craze for which history is unlikely to judge us favourably as a people.
I think we should avoid naming things after people who are still alive, it leads to weird situations like this occasionally.
Interesting that some get cancelled for the less positive aspects of record than the positives (Sir John A., etc.) yet Payette gets a bye for her record of toxic/destructive conduct.
Except she did get cancelled.Interesting that some get cancelled for the less positive aspects of record than the positives (Sir John A., etc.) yet Payette gets a bye for her record of toxic/destructive conduct.
