"Consistently and courageously, for more than fifty years, he has fought legal battles to advance civil liberties. The landmark cases he argued before the Supreme Court on behalf of Jehovah’s Witnesses enshrined all Canadians’ right to freedom of speech, assembly and religious expression and helped pave the way for the Canadian Bill of Rights and Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A man of conscience, he has, for minimal compensation, defended clients in every province of Canada, many American states and several other countries."

You may wish to contact the Governor General's office to let them know that the Order of Canada has been awarded to someone who represents an organization which blatantly refuses any patriotic activity, deeming it "Satanic", and that the man has probably "sinned" by accepting the award. Contact info for the Governor General's office is as follows:
