Talk: Conrad Black

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Should Conrad Black be included in a Category:Canadian People when he has formally renounced his citizenship? 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.

Whatever his citizenship or his loyalties now, he was a Canadian citizen once, and is still a major figure in Canada. So I think he should be included. --Saforrest 04:35, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

Baron?

I'm only seen him referred to as Lord, not Baron. Are you certain he's a Baron, or was this a confusion with "media baron"?

(peerage styles) He is a life Baron. Barons are addressed as Lord surname of title. Their wives are Lady husband's surname of title. Women who are Baronesses in their own right (not by being married to a Baron) are Baroness surname of title.

They're called "Lord Title", not "Lord Surname of Title". Black's title is "Baron Black of Crossharbour", so he's called Lord Black of Crossharbour. There are some people whose title is the same as their surname (like Lady Thatcher) and some whose surname isn't in their title at all (like Lord Glenamara). Proteus (Talk) 12:00, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
