From an email I received from Suzanne of Big Blue Wave, here's what you can do:
You must phone the Governor-General's office and tell them that you do not want Henry Morgentaler to receive the Order of Canada. It's easy. First call the Governor-General's Office.
Phone numbers: Ottawa: 613-993-8200
Rest of Canada: 1-800-465-6890
You will get a receptionist. Ask to speak to Madeleine Proulx (pronounced "Prew"). She deals with the Order of Canada. Leave her a voice mail message, stating your name and phone number, and the reasons you object to Henry Morgantaler being considered for the Order of Canada award.
I called her just a few moments ago, and like Suzanne, I got a voice message that asked me to leave my name and phone number. You won't be able to do this anonymously. I registered my objection to Henry Morgantaler being considered for the Order of Canada award, and gave my reasons why. Be sure to be polite and reasonable in your conversation. Please, if you live in Canada, make the phone call. We must keep this man from receiving such an esteemed award.
There is another way you can voice your opinion. Here is a link to a Globe and Mail poll that asks whether Henry Morgantaler should be awarded the Order of Canada. You can only vote once. Right now, it sits at 86% No, and 14% yes.
Please take the time to vote on this poll.
