Let the cynicism begin
The increasingly out to lunch government of Mr. Dithers has appointed someone totally unqualified to become GG - providing unlimited fodder for the blogsphere.
Ms Jean fits none of these criteria. It is trivial and irrelevant to divert criticism of this choice to her being ‘ethnic’, ‘non-white’, ‘a woman’, even to her being ‘Quebecois’..blah blah. That’s all trivia and obfuscates and hides what should be the basic criticism of this choice of her as G-G. The criticism? She doesn’t fit what should be a standard for a patronage appointment of this stature; namely, a lifetime work towards the betterment of the well-being of the majority of Canadians.
Perhaps this is the Liberal way to turn Canadians against the monarchy. It just might work.
