Yet the Liberal-friendly Grope and Wail ignores that fact in the headlines, tries as badly as possible to cover that up. Typical MSM garbage.

It used to be a regal representative to the Queen or King of England, and it remains the official Commander-in-Chief.
In reality, it is now just a patronage post.
There. That seems to make a little more sense.
Correct. In no other province is support even 50%.
Gotcha, thanks. I had thought it was a largely ceremonial executive post (kind of like the "president" in European parliamentary systems?) but wasn't sure.

Hmmm, here I am under 45 and living on the east coast ... and I DON'T support the selection. I guess I need to get my act together. LOL
What's happening, very simply, is the Quebecis are making the rest of Canada wish they'd given them their independence.
It's the same sort of thought a lot of Americans have when Blue States force changes like abortion, gay rights, higher taxes, and deficit spending.
Quebec makes the "Blue States" look ultra-conservative...
LOL no. If you are not in Quebec, you're in the majority.
yet Ottawa always kow-tows to Quebec.
I am married to a Bluenoser so I am sympathetic to non-Toad* Canada
*not real French so they only get Toad status.
Someone stated that in the 'new' Canada, Anglo Saxons aren't particularly welcome. This is so true. I am an alien in my own country, hated because I'm white, hated even more because of my English heritage, add to that the fact that I am Christian, and heterosexual......well, you get the picture. I won't even go into the fact that I am a right wing Conservative.....
I am seriously starting to five serious thought into
a) becoming an Albertan
or
b) Trying to become an American citizen
Either way, I know I would have much to bring to my new home.
Becoming an American would give me perhaps the first sense of belonging and acceptance that I have ever had. I'm simply not welcome in Canada anymore.
five = give

Would this be Paul Martin's good friend Allan Gregg?
Presumably her francophone background would be part of her attraction for the Quebecois. Did she ever take out British citizenship, or is that no longer a requirement to be a governor general? (There was a Scot who was governor general in New Zealand about 30 years ago, but he would have been covered by the Act of Union.)

Ashamed Canadian, don't waste your time. Not that I wouldn't love to have you here. I bet you would be an awesome American, but unfortunately, we are only three (appox.) steps behind Canada when it comes to being fractured by multi-ethnic identity politics (I mean diversity) and complete socialization/communization of American infrastructure. We are heading over the same waterfall Canadians face, were just moving towards it a little slower is all. It would be a waste of your time and energy to move here, and then 5-10 years down the road find yourself in the same situation you are in now. It would probably serve your interests better to look to Australia, or perhaps New Zealand (not sure about NZ politics), because the PM or MP (not sure what his exact title is) of Australia has shown himself to be a stand up guy with a solid grasp of world politics. If I were younger and in better health, I would look into emigrating to Oz myself. If you do decide to come to the U.S., try to locate in a historically solid, red state otherwise you probably will have to deal with the same kind of nucking futs you will be leaving behind.
She has puppets of white, english speaking canadian males
that she sticks with voodoo pins basically 24 X 7.
You know..your typical white english saxon or irish/scottish mainstay clone. I heard she has a palace
full of these little dolls.
When she isn't doing that she is signing papers to give
more plush secure jobs to immigrants in the gov't so they can collect nice pensions and pump out more immigrant
kids to aspire to the liberal notion of total
domination by the minority peoples of canada within
two generations. Oh yea she is also putting more
french information on all canadian cereal boxes coast
to coast.
This pretty well sums up the job of "the new" governor
general.
You know who I really feel for..the native american indians.
Here we have the white anglo man in canada who took over from the indians. Then we have the french in canada who
took over from the white english speaker. Finally we
have the immigrants taking over from the white english
speaker. Notice the french don't get taken over by anybody
in present day canada.
Poor indians..........imagine how they must feel.
