First of all, I'd like encourage everyone to boycott this event. Black is probably the worst person to speak up about Canadian sacrifice, as he is the crybaby who angrily renounced his Canadian Citizenship because he wanted a seat in the House of Lords. Black is also a convicted felon, having served six and a half years in US prison for fraud and obstruction of justice.



Once a recipient of the Order of Canada, Black was stripped of Order of Canada and is now appealing.


This pompous A-Hole is a Canadian of convenience and should not be speaking on behalf of the Canadians who gave their lives during the Great War.



In my opinion, the Vimy Foundation has lost its bloody mind and should consider a individual who, at the very least, is proud of their heritage and this Country to speak on behalf of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.



I could think of far more suitable Canadians to speak at this event and encourage anyone who is in agreement to alert the VIMY FOUNDATION of their feelings in this matter.

I don't disagree with your premise and I don't like the guy. He is however very astute with history and politics. I wish his knowledge belonged to someone else.

I think Conrad Black pissed off the wrong people and they paid him back. He is not my favorite but I can't help admiring the guy. One thing that keeps me at least a bit on his side is that his wife is standing with him and she is no dummy..

 

[petros]

I'd rather it was the Man From Glad than Black.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Well, he does know a thing or two about sacrifice.

 

[petros]

To stay that white, you gotta be sacrificing something.

Really, what is it that you admire?

How he publicly renounced his Canadian Citizenship or how he became a Canadian of Convenience.

He isn't worthy of this. I'd rather see Pierre Berton or Joseph Boyden speak about this rather than the likes of turncoat like Black.

There are many who surpass him and still are great Canadians.

I'd trust it more if it was a confession as a result of water-boarding session.

He is one of the most intelligent men to come out of his era. He wanted to be in the House of Lords and Chretien blocked him. In order to
get into the House of Lords he had to relinquish hi Canadian citizenship. I think he pissed off some very powerful people and it cost him.

He was a pretty big dick about the whole relinquishing thing as I recall. I'm no fan of Chretien, but this windbag should have went back to the UK after he got out of jail.

Conrad Black is a thief,a liar and a convicted criminal.

His appreciation of your way with words must have been noticeable.

Here is a man who turned in his own citizenship to obtain a Lordship from another country
He has the nerve to come on the airwaves and talk about real Canadians who made a
sacrifice for their country nothing short of disgusting.
My father and many a relative of participants here bled for Canada in the open fields and mud
of WWI trenches. The only sacrifice Black might have made is the cushion on his House of
Lords seat might not have been thick enough to protect his brain.

How exactly did your father's sacrifice improve things for him, your family, Canada, or the world?

Just curious.

I hope so!

He's nothing but a douchebag that got caught with his hand in a lot of other people's cookie jars. I would find him a tad less despicable if he had returned every single penny he stole, but he didn't, so I don't.
