	John Black Aird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aird was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada, and served as Lieutenant-Governor from 1980 to 1985.
		The consensus among constitutional experts, however, is that Aird acted correctly as there had been an election only weeks before the government's defeat in the House, and as it was clear that Peterson had the support in the House to form a government.
		Aird was appointed to the Order of Ontario in 1987, and in 1993 he was promoted to Companion in the Order of Canada.

	Heard Aird Connection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		John Aird was first found as a Widower, age 27, in the 1891 census living at 47 Goring Street, Toxteth Park with his two sons (WJ Harry age 7 and Edward age 3) and also with his sister, Ada J Aird, age 21, a general servant and domestic.
		John’s future wife Mary Grice (nee Evans), a Widow age 31, was living at 55 Goring Street with her children (Robert J, William and Annie Grice) and with the Evans family.
		John Aird should therefore have been born around 1863/4 and his sister Ada J around 1870/1 but no record of these can be found anywhere in the GRO index for England and Wales.

	The Aird Commission Revisited (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The paper argues that the Aird commissioners used the public hearings to legitimize their own commitment to a national, publicly owned broadcast system by depicting public opinion in its final report as consensual when in fact there was considerable division among interveners.
		The paper thus argues that the Aird commissioners used the public hearings to legitimize their own commitment to the nationalization of Canadian radio by depicting public opinion in its final report as consensual when in fact there was considerable division.
		John C. Courtney (1969) summarizes the complaints against royal commissions as follows: they are not impartial; their recommendations are not taken seriously; the process is used to relieve pressure on governments faced with controversial decisions; and they are not worth the money they cost.

		Charles Aird’s unassuming account, written in Edwardian England, of his youth and introduction to the rapidly developing world of Victorian engineering, is filled with anecdotes of everyday events and understated dramas.
		It reveals how social mobility, combined with business acumen, lay behind the rise of John Aird & Sons from a penniless Scots family to a world-class construction company, which laid thousands of miles of gas and water pipes, and later built the Aswan Dam.
		Aird's early life in Deptford and his experiences at the Phoenix Gas Works give no warning of his later exploits.
