It is utterly ridiculous. There is no reason that honours from the sovereign should not be able to be accepted by any of her subjects. Furthermore, there is no statute for losing one's citizenship in Canada. Another future government may attempt to undermine the rights of the people (rights defended by our Monarch against such government bodies), and we should want to see that prevented.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034272302174513558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-55552726890345542262011-10-03T06:24:20.651+01:002011-10-03T06:24:20.651+01:00The Nickle Resolution does not need to be 'bro...The Nickle Resolution does not need to be 'brought to an end' It was a non-binding, non-statutory Resolution of the House to begin with. This was pointed out by His Majesty's Prime Minister, R.B. Bennett, in 1933 when he began advising His Majesty to grant honours to Canadian citizens. In 1934, a 'Nickle-like' resolution was introduced into the House and was defeated by a vote of 113-94. This was the last time that the House has voted on the matter. Ergo, the Nickle Resolution has no effect whatsover today and it's only the closet republicans that prevent HM's Canadian Government from advising Her to grant honours to Canadians.Jovan-Marya Weismiller, T.O.Carm.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03944144604130780799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-60684442583940945652011-09-17T02:39:15.191+01:002011-09-17T02:39:15.191+01:00Obviously there are cases where an honour should b...Obviously there are cases where an honour should be rescinded (although in the case of the VC I feel that HM George V's view should be respected) but I do not think it is appropriate for much short of treason. <br /><br />Also, whether Black was guilty or not he most definitely should be allowed to return to Canada as Chretien's forcing him to renounce his citizenship was completely immoral. Earlier this year I was actually considering ways to abolish the Nickle Resolution and was researching how one goes about writing a petition. However, I eventually came to the realisation that while one may only need 25 signatures, my M.P. would probably require considerably more before being willing to submit such a petition. I was also unsure if petitions were the appropriate manner in which to handle honours related issues. <br /><br />I am curious as to whether you have any ideas on how the Nickle Resolution could be brought to an end?Leacockhttp://43586864.canoreply@blogger.com
