[edit] High importance, Mid priority

Morris was an international figure, outside of just the labour field. For this reason, I rated his importance in the Labour Project higher, because he served on important international labour bodies for many years and that is more pertinent to that category. On the General WPBiography project, he rates Mid importance because he has the highest class of the Order of Canada: Companion. As well, his work to stop South African Apartheid was recognized by an international organization. He also qualifies in the politician category, as he was automatically a Vice-President of the New Democratic Party of Canada, by being the president of the Canadian Labour Congress. Wish I had more detailed biographical information about him, sounds like a really interesting character.Abebenjoe 18:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
