The representative of King Charles III in Canada expressed ‘deep regret’ for giving elite awards to Peter Savaryn, the former chancellor of the University of Alberta who served with SS Galichina during World War II.
It’s “Trudeau says he can’t recall how many times he wore blackface makeup” all over again
My friends all gave me shit for not dropping the blackface thing. The dude painted his fucking knees man! Such a shit, I’m so happy he’s not Fidel’s kid.
I still can’t believe that didn’t sink him. All he had to do was apologize for the two known incidents, to apologize by saying “I don’t know how many times I did it” should have been a career ending scandal fuck
Membership in the Order of Canada is only effective during the honoree’s lifetime, so Savaryn, who died in 2017, cannot have his award rescinded.
There’s nothing we can do
The liberals who made that rule up think it elevates the award somehow, when in reality it inherently degrades it
Maybe the silver lining to all this shit is that these sorts of public apologies are still expected and demanded by the general public.
