The Issue

Peter Dalglish is a convicted pedophile and a billionaire with significant ties to dubious activities. His name appeared on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous list, a name synonymous with heinous crimes against humanity. Yet, despite these grievous associations, he remains a recipient of one of Canada's highest honours, the Order of Canada. As a society that champions human rights and justice, it’s imperative that we do not glorify or endorse such individuals.

The Order of Canada is a prestigious award granted to those who have demonstrated excellence, courage, or exceptional dedication to service in a variety of fields. Allowing Dalglish to retain this honour sullies its prestige and contradicts its very purpose. When we continue to acknowledge and award such individuals, we inadvertently endorse their actions, sending a message that contradicts the values this distinction is meant to represent.

We live in a world grappling with the aftermath of numerous abuses and injustices, and it is vital that we hold accountable those responsible for contributing to such sufferings. Continuing to honour someone like Peter Dalglish is an affront to the victims of his actions and those whom he has irreparably harmed. This is not only a matter of symbolic importance but a moral obligation to maintain the integrity of national honours.

There is precedent for revoking state honours from individuals who no longer embody the values of the award. Historical instances where honours have been rescinded demonstrate that maintaining the honour's dignity and respect is paramount. By revoking Dalglish's Order of Canada, we affirm our standing against the normalization of such egregious misconduct.

We call upon the Canadian Government and the Governor General of Canada, who is responsible for awarding the Order of Canada, to take immediate action. The world is watching, and the decision made here is a clear reflection of our nation's values and where we draw the line in upholding the principles of justice and human dignity.

Let us rally together to demand accountability and protect the sanctity of Canadian honours. Please sign this petition to support the revocation of Peter Dalglish's Order of Canada award.
