“How the rich and powerful win again” –Bob Hepburn, Star April 16th

I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Hepburn, et al, about not revoking Conrad Black’s Order of Canada.

As Mr. Hepburn notes, “there is a bad smell” to this, and I can see a few reasons for it (check one):

Conrad Black is a (ultra) Conservative ( C & c)
He has friends in high places –whose reputation he is protecting and whom is protecting him –he could raise a “stink” here).
He is a friend of the Asper’s (friends in high places cont.; see National Post).
He is an enemy of Jean Chrétien –thus the adage “your enemy is my friend” applies here.
ALL OF THE ABOVE

All that’s now left to do is returning his citizenship and welcoming the prodigal son “home.”
