This GG is Haitian born married to a frenchman and very closely tied to the separatists of Quebec including members of the FlQ a terrorist group who kidnapped and murdered the minister of labour for Quebec in october 1970.Ayers type of people if you please.
Now I think technically she's appointed by the Queen, but the Queen "appoints" whoever the Prime Minster "recommends" to her. One of the problems in a parlimentary system is a loop hole where the PM has the power to "dismiss" a Governor-General at will during a "crisis", but the Governor-General also has the same power to dismiss a Prime Minster. I think one of these countries (Australia?) had a "consitutional crisis" back in the 70s or so because both of them tried to dismiss each other AT THE SAME TIME (which seems rather silly by U.S. standards, but it did cause the government into a halting deadlock)
