Congratulations to Gilbert Finn, former lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick, who will no longer be a member of the Order of Canada, should Morgentaler become one:

Finn, a renowned Acadian businessman and former president of the Université de Moncton, said he sent a message last week to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor-General Michaëlle Jean informing them of his decision.

His wife was quoted on his behalf in the National Post saying simply, “He’s not in favour of abortion.” Few words, conveys the point. Like it.
