Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond returns 2nd Island university honorary doctorateMary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has voluntarily returned a second honorary doctorate from a university on Vancouver Island. Disgraceful. Whatever body afforded this, their members should take a long look in the mirror. It’s very sad she felt she had to lie. She did lots of good work. Why not on her own merit? I don’t get it. Nothing more off putting than a prevaricator. WokeIsBroke
