How about we just abolish the position of governor general instead?

Idk why I find it super funny when prime ministers just make sure to appease French and English speakers.
Idk if I’m saying it properly, but it just sounds fake, but it’s fake for a reason, and every party leader has and will do it.

There shouldn’t be a next one.

Who is standing on Carney’s right?

Ah, common sense. We’ve missed you.
Carney is going to go down in history as the nation’s best Prime Minister.

A pretty straight forward requirement. Why doesn’t the current GG know both? I’m pretty certain I know who appointed her.

Chris Hadfield would be a great pick IMO. Speaks French, great energy. Though the last astronaut pick didn’t go so well…

If you can do a good job, it shouldn’t matter the language you speak.

I’d be fine with the position being awarded completely at random to an adult Canadian born citizen. At least their time in the position would potentially be somewhat amusing and not just enriching yet another already socially elite fuckwit.

There really has to be more important things to talk about and more important qualifications to consider.

If we are castigating Air Canada’s CEO for not learning French, shouldn’t we do the same with the Governer General?

Where do I send my CV? I speak both and I’ll do the job for half the normal salary. I don’t even have to stay at Rideau Hall, I can rent a room from a relative who lives in Vanier.

The representative of the British Crown shouldn’t have to speak French.

There should be no next governor general. A colossal waste of tax payer money.
