Interesting. The current "Governor-General" is Michaëlle Jean, a french canadian black female of Haitian descent. She was appointed under Paul Martin. Gotta give the Liberals bonus points in creativity as they attempted to pander to all groups:

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)
