Order of Canada: Conrad Black

Conrad Black: In column in the National Post, Montreal-born Black reprints a letter he wrote Dec. 18 to Gov. Gen. David Johnston asking him to consider reversing the recommendations of staff who denied him a hearing over his Order of Canada status. 'I learned long ago that honours do not make a man, any more than the withdrawal of honours unmakes one' - Conrad Black in the National Post , according to CBC. Black was made an officer of the Order of Canada in 1990. Fallen newspaper magnate Conrad Black says he cant be stripped of his Order of Canada because he renounced it as of December of last year. The 11-member advisory council for the Order made the removal recommendation to Johnston late Friday, citing Blacks conviction for fraud and obstruction of justice in the United States.
