Use of "The Right Honourable"

As mentioned in the article, Mazankowski is one of the few Canadians to be given the title of "The Right Honourable" without having held an office that would entitle him to it automatically. See the official government reference here: http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1359387359874/1359387575355 , which states at number 14 that The title "Right Honourable" is granted for life to the following eminent Canadian: The Right Honourable Donald F. Mazankowski. Therefore, please do not remove this title. -- Blairall (talk) 20:07, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

References are not needed in infoboxes

The Wikipedia Manual of Style says at

WP:INFOBOXREF that "References are not needed in infoboxes if the content is repeated (and cited) elsewhere or if the information is obvious". So I added the cite to the body of the text where the content is repeated, near the end. -- Blairall (talk) 20:17, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply
