🇨🇦 Rideau Hall finally revokes honours from child rapist and SNC-Lavalin corruption architect

Peter Dalglish convicted in Nepal in 2019 for sexually assaulting boys aged 11 and 14 kept his Order of Canada until this week. Jacques Lamarre, former SNC-Lavalin CEO who funneled millions to Gadhafi's son and was found guilty of collusion and corruption, also enjoyed his medal for years after the facts emerged. Dalglish was convicted seven years ago. Lamarre's crimes were public knowledge for over a decade. Yet both men wore Canada's highest civilian honour while their records rotted.

Rideau Hall calls revocation an extraordinary measure taken when someone acts inconsistent with expected conduct. Apparently child rape and paying off dictators barely qualify. The real scandal is not that these parasites finally lost their medals but that our vaunted honours system gave them out in the first place and waited this long to clean house. Excellence in humanitarian work and corporate engineering used to mean something other than access and cover for predators.
