The Ideas page may no longer be up, but much of the CBC website is down right now because of a labour dispute, so I can't check.

Cites for the still limited modern revival of the Order:

The order of good cheer was made by champlain for his mens physical and mental health . It was to promote fun and this is how it worked, 1 man is the host that where the gold chain and this man starts the song and everybody the crew sings with him and carrys around big plasters of food to the dining hall and hunt for the first few weeks so that they can make the food when its there turn

Copied Text

It appears that the Mzy8/9 2007 edits are primarily taken from http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/2162/bon1.htm which in turn copies it from another source dated to about the 1930's making the status of teh copyright unclear. It would be much better to have the article rewrtten using the information as a source. -- Whpq 14:36, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is it called?

The article variously refers to the order as the "Order of Good Times", the "Order of Good Cheer", and "The Order of the Good Time". I think it would be better if the official or most widely-accepted English language name was determined and used throughout. Oscroft (talk) 15:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, the order was founded under the French name, so it should properly be refered-to as such. l'Ordre du Bon Temps was what was established. Far be it for me, though, to tell other fellows members what works for them and their own Good Cheer. :) LTC David J. Cormier (talk) 19:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
