Talk:Lawrence Cannon

Deputy Prime Minister
What is the source? I haven't heard that.
 * The position of DPM of Canada, is not a statutory office. When no one is given the title, it simply doesn't exist. Further more claiming Cannon is de-facto DPM, is inaccurate for a DPM isn't automatically first in line to the Prime-Minister duties. The PM or the governing Party decides that issue. Therefore, Cannon shouldn't be listed as de-facto DPM of Canada. GoodDay 20:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Right and wrong I believe. First I agree with GoodDay that Cannon shouldn't be listed as the de facto Prime Minister.  But this is because, de facto implies that the role is played in practice not in law.  But in fact by law, due to an order-in-council on recomendation of the PM, Lawrence Cannon, would play the role of Prime Minister if Harper was somehow incapacitated, and the party or caucus did not have time to change the order.  It is more like Cannon, is the unnamed Deputy Prime Minister.  In addition I think some might argue the real de facto, as in, in practice, Deputy Prime Minister, is Jim Prentice who is probably Harper's most trusted minister and is the chair of two cabinet committees.  Without some kind of authoratative source on this issue Cannon probably shouldn't be listed as the de facto Deputy Prime Minister.1130130 21:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Cannon is NOT a Red Tory
Red Toryism is not simply "Fiscal conservatism and Social liberalism", it is a complex combination of (usually english-)Canadian nationalism, protectionism, and typically associated with its own brand of Christian conservatism similar to that of Latin American christian democratic parties. Fiscal conservatism and Social liberalism barely coincide, if not are the complete opposites of what it means to be a Red Tory. Think of it this way, Stanfield was the ideal Red Tory, Brian Mulroney was the complete opposite.--69.214.190.89 22:50, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Furthermore 'he is very liberal' ?!? according to what benchmark. Supporting same-sex marriage is nearly socially centerist in this day and age.Simonm223 (talk) 15:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party
Does Cannon hold this party position? I know Peter MacKay once did (before the 2006 Election). GoodDay (talk) 18:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Geneaology?
Cannon can't be the great-grandson of Sir Charles Fitzpatrick. It was his great-uncle Lawrence Arthur Cannon, Supreme Court Justice, who married Mary Fitzpatrick, the daughter of Charles. There's no direct lineage between Fitzpatrick and the current Lawrence Cannon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.132.181.96 (talk) 17:14, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Dr?
Umm... why does the page put Dr in front of his name? He holds a BA and MBA (see http://www.lawrencecannon.com/about_lawrence/), neither of which would entitle him to Dr.
