  The Right Honourable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council appointed for the consideration of all matters relating to Trade and Foreign Plantations (the Board of Trade)

 Talk:Conrad Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I know he was forced by Jean Chretien's strict interpretation of the Nickle act, but forced to choose he preferred the honour of a British peerage to that of a plain Canadian citizenship.
Yes, it should be "Right Honourable." If you look at the edit history, you will see that someone is intent on making it "Honourable," despite the explanation from several others that he is "Right Honourable" by virtue of being a British peer.
"Right Honourable" is a title given to various individuals in the UK, not merely members of the Privy Council.

 Hirst, Free Trade and Other Fundamental Doctrines of the Manchester School, Part II, Essay 4: Library of Economics and ...
Now, I do not charge the right honourable baronet with intending to deceive the farmers; I do not attribute motives to him; but this I do say, that in dealing with plain and simple men—men accustomed to straightforward and intelligible language—this was certain, however intended, to mislead the farmers in their calculations.
But the right honourable gentleman said, 'Whether the tariff has reduced prices or not, prices had been reduced, and there has been no reason to complain.' This sort of ambiguity is not the way now to deal with the farmers.
The policy of the right honourable gentleman amalgamated duties for the purposes of protection, and duties for the purposes of revenue, and he would have it believed that we could not carry free trade without interfering with the custom-house duties.

 Suez Canal Shares
The right honourable Gentleman the Member for the University of London says -- "You have your shares, but you have no dividends." And the right honourable Gentleman the Member for Greenwich says -- "You have your shares, but you have no votes." That is the great lamentation of the two right honourable Gentlemen.
Why, my right honourable Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer was intimately acquainted with the subject, and was himself present at the opening of the Suez Canal.
Nothing, in short can be more unfounded than the assumption of the two right honourable Gentlemen, who wished to convey to the House that Her Majesty's Government had entered into their agreement in perfect ignorance of all the circumstances of the case.

The stile of Right Honourable is due to no Commoner but such as are members of his Majesty's most honourable privy council; except the three lord mayors of London, York, and Dublin, and the lord provost of Edinburgh, during office.
regard to the order of precedency, it may be observed in general, that persons of every degree of honour or dignity take place according to the seniority of their creation, and not of years, unless they are descended of the blood-royal; in which case they have place of all others of the same degree.

The Right Honourable Antonio Lamer, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, was supposed to be joining us here this morning, but he had to have an operation last week, so he couldn’t make it, but he asked me to give everyone his regards.
Humour aside, this morning is my occasion to formally tell Justice Arbour how much admiration the members of this Court have for her courage and her dedication to the cause of human rights, and how enormously proud we are that she has agreed to play such a pivotal role on the international scene.
This is a time of uncertainty and disruption for the cause of human rights in the world and International law is once again at the crossroads.

 Public Eye Online - Right and honourable   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In fact in 2004, the combined right had the worse showing in Canadian history, despite the sponsorship scandal so I think Canadians sent a clear message to the Conservatives to moderate or else they would stay in opposition.
Both the left and the right in Canada are anti-establishment/anti-government but with the opposite goal for changing the establishment – one wanting radically more government and the other wanting radically less government but both nevertheless being radically anti-the status quo.
The size of the government is not the issue for the left as much as it is the protection of social services, of which nearly all fit into provincial jurisdiction.

First, the federal Environment Minister recently decided to strip most of COSEWIC's non-governmental scientists of their voting rights.
This change (which was made without public notice) weakens COSEWIC's independence by opening the door to political interference in species listings.
