Talk:Nickle Resolution

message: This article is more about Canadian titles in general than the Nickle Resolution specifically. It should be merged.GSTQ 00:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldnt be objected to merging although I am fearful that some data might be lost in the change.  Otherwise, I think this page could use some cleanup. --Dowew 15:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Canadian titles debate

message: Even beyond the period of Bennett's premiership when the resolution was not in force, at least two Canadians have been made peers by the Monarch. For example, Roy Thompson was made first hereditary Baron Thomson of Fleet in 1964, and upon his death the barony passed to his son Ken.
In my opinion, it is foolish anyway to prevent Canadian citizens from being made nobles of countries other than our own, and I haven't a clue what nonsense was rattling about in Nickle's head to make him want to cease this. --coldacid 01:40, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)
It's not quite accurate to say that the Nickle Resolution was "reaffirmed" or that "the former policy ... has been in effect ever since", because the Nickle Resolution applies to "subjects domiciled or ordinarily resident in Canada" whereas the subsequent Regulations (1968) and Policy (1988) apply to Canadian citizens. This reflects the coming into existence of Canadian citizenship, but is not merely an idempotent change of wording (though it may be the closest possible). I don't think that Conrad Black fell under the original wording at the time of the controversy over his peerage.
The present topic may have some bearing on the question of the unity of the Commonwealth Crown. Was the Canadian government's request that Black not be ennobled passed to the British government, or directly to the Queen? If the latter, it would illustrate that the "Queen of Canada" and the "Queen of the United Kingdom" are not totally independent; for no advice given by the Canadian government to the former could then affect the action taken by the latter in awarding an honour to one of her own (i.e. British) citizens on the advice of the British Prime Minister.

thread_title:  A spotty history of application 

message: This article is ridiculously long to have no sections or organisation. There are several bits that are also completely off-topic and POV. DoubleBlue (Talk) 07:28, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean-up required 

message: Am I the only one who can't understand the following passage from the article? "Its adoption and use as a precedent in the area of titular honours for Canadians also informs the history of the creation of the Order of Canada in 1967, which was designed to bestow no titular honours on those recipients whom the Government of Canada recommends that the Queen of Canada honour with membership in the Order."

thread_title:  Confusing Passage 

message: The article seems quite biased against the Nickle Resolution and against Nickle in particular. For all its detail, it did not mention (until my edit a few minutes ago) that Nickle didn't simply write his resolution on the back of an envelope one day but was appointed to head a special committee to look into the honours question.Homey 10:32, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: POV

message: Although this may be a little iffy in terms of British Honours, according to the book Her Excellency Jean Sauvé by Shirley E. Woods, Jean Sauvé was made a Dame of Justice in the Order of Saint John during her visit to England shortly following her swearing in as Governor General of Canada.  This was in addition to being Order in Prior and Chief Office in Canada.  Perhaps this might fit somewhere ? Dowew 00:47, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Order of Saint John 

message: Although titicular honours would be more approriate to this article, I am going to look for example and anomalies of Canadians getting British Honours :  Dowew 00:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other examples of Canadians getting British honours 

message: Well this seems to be the most popular page on Candian titles (rather than 'Canadian honours system' or 'Canadian titles debate', funnily enough). Just wanting to draw people's attentions to the 'Baron de Longueuil' article, to which so many links lead, but which so few people appear to look at. There is an anonymous user who keeps insisting on editing the article to suit his own point of view without sources and in contradiction to the rest of Wikipedia insofar as it mentions the title.GSTQ 00:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
