It appears that the awarding of the Order of Canada to Dr Henry Morgentaler has shaken some windfall apples out of the tree. Dawg’s Blawg and Accidental Deliberations have been quick to examine the words crawling out this Epp-le:

Tory MP Ken Epp (Edmonton-Sherwood Park) said the pro-choice supporters have “gone too far.” … Epp also questioned the objectivity of Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin as head of the Order of Canada advisory council. “Is she now totally out of impartiality because of the fact she has weighed into this? I am concerned about all of those things,” he said.

From the Toronto Star. Accidental Deliberations keeps prodding Epp’s worminess wordiness:

Second, and more significantly, there’s the question of just when Epp anticipates a case which raises abortion issues coming before the Supreme Court of Canada. … After all, since there’s currently no outstanding legal conflict involving abortion, the only way it figures to find its way in front of the Supreme Court of Canada is if new legislation is passed in the meantime.

Accidental Deliberations may have uncovered in Epp’s words the auguries of Bills C-484 and C-537. Go read the whole post. Very politically savvy.

And Unrepentant old hippie scrutinized more of them apples and the worms words crawling out from Tory MP Art Hanger’s comments on the Morgentaler Order of Canada award.
