Assasinate the GG?
Dude, what do you have against Michaëlle Jean?
Jac.
my sentiments exactly, he just got to the comment first. it has nothing to do with her personally. just the idea of her is completely outdated and wasteful. the first thing he said after that was, "why? shes kind of hot" not, why? shes kind of useful.

The Governor General is useful, though. She's a cultural diplomat and she extends Canada's goodwill into other countries. A lot of countries think good things about us because of what our Governor General(s) have done. International relations don't work when its just a bunch of political scientists walking around and being weird.
it is not the title that does all of those things. the title grants them an outrageously large budget for no reason and gives off the impression that the majority of Canadians have some kind of loyalty to England and Queen, who herself is just a figurehead. Do schools in Canada still sing "God Save the Queen"? No. What we actually need is a CANADIAN made position that is only given money to cover plane tickets and the basic needs. We don't need some British Rep signing our bills and representing a country that is a soviergn nation. Also, call me crazy, but when those RCMP officers were murdered a few months back, it was completely inappropriate of Ms. Clarkson to leave the country instead of attending their memorials. If her "good will" does so much then she could have sent a raincheck to whatever country was more important and they would have understood. You cant help other countries unless your own is in good working order and that position is only one of many things that are still messed up in Canadas politcal system. She is dispensible.
