Default ALAN ROCK to get Order of Canada award

I guess he was finally recognized by our government for all his contributions to Canada, like the 1995 Firearms Act that keeps us so much safer than before and our super cost-effective long gun registry.....said no one ever! Geez! I won't dare say"what next?" because I can't even imagine this.

I was already completely done with Canada, so this can't drive me further out.

Not surprised. Wasted so much time and money on useless registry that failed. Liberals like failure.

Yup. We did have one at the old police station on 51 ave

He couldnt commit to saying the registry would save one life. Not even one.

I decided then that the registry was for other reasons. I was right

Giving that moron the Order of Canada depreciates the award for everybody else that truly earned it.

Might as well give them out with cracker jacks

If you look at who has been appointed the Order of Canada its kind of bizarre. All of the members of The Tragically Hip, Raine Maida lead singer of Our Lady Peace, Fred Penner. Seems to be lots of entertainers and athletes. Seems like anyone with a mediocre presence gets it.

I took a look at the historical list, I have my doubts as to how many have truly earned it. I think that Cracker Jack had a big part in distributing them.

If you ever sang a song in public, read a newscast, played a sport, appeared on TV, screwed up politically, you are on the Order of Canada list.

Vincent Lee is going to get an Order Of Canada next, for his contribution to Commercial Transportation and his selfless efforts to reducing climate change by killing and eating a human with a carbon footprint.

Credit where it is due.

Rock is more deserving of a Darwin award.

Rock was part of the slow decline into socialism... so I am sure this "order" will come with a nice fat retirement package.... It is how the Libtards roll after all...
