Governor General A French Citizen

I wonder if Lord Durham would have thought of that.

I hope this GG appointment is not going to turn into an other "bataille rangée".

This woman is absolutely brilliant.

The Liberal destruction of Canada is almost complete. Reducing the remaining institutions that built this country into nothingness should not be much of a problem. Too bad, Canada was a nice place, now that we've established a 'Banana Republic of the North' it's hard to get overly excited about it... all hail the Liberal conquerors!

"...they brought their adopted six-year-old daughter, Marie-Eden, to Canada from Haiti to become a citizen."

How sweet! I wonder if they'd like to adopt the hundreds of thousands of other Haitian children currently in danger of being killed by the illegal, corrupt, Canada supported provisional government of Haiti.

Is she a separtist?

An absolutely brilliant article answers the current conendrum in Le Devoir: <a href="http://www.ledevoir.com/2005/08/12/88048.html">Nomination de Michaëlle Jean - La souveraineté, la dignité, même combat</a> <p>---<br>"We are all in this together somehow, some more than others somehow"

Great, she has ties to the FLQ through her husband. Martin you f***ing moron.

FLQ dates from the 60s and early 70s. Get on with the new millenium, will you?

"We are all in this together somehow, some more than others somehow"

Sovereignty issue there anyone?

Man, I've heard this exact speech since the 1970's. Exactly how long does hell-in-a-handbasket take, anyway?

Jean's dual citizenship and her suspect ties to the seperatist cause is irrelevant considering that her job as GG is irrelevant. I was watching a call in show yesterday on CH 11 here in southern Ontario about Jean's appointment and 19 out of 20 callers felt the GG is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Forget Jean and her past and let's concentrate on getting rid of her job altogether.

If Jean does have sympathies for a sovereign Quebec then I can think of no better way for her to express her thanks to a country that granted her refuge. It also illustrates the seperatist mentality: they want an independeant nation and they want Canada to pay for it. It's typical to see seperatist's deride Canada with palms out stretched demanding pay offs care of the Canadian tax payer.

<p>What IS she really ? Canadian ? Québécer ? Haitian ? French ?<p> I believe Ms Jean and her 'consort' are only citizens unto and for themselves.<p> <i>«Mais ça n'empêche pas le mensonge de gouverner» </i> Jean-Daniel Lafond<p> <i>«C'est fini les petits peuples!»</i> - Michaëlle Jean<p> <i>«Alors, un Québec souverain?

"How can a Governor General loyal to Canadian Crown and all Canadians if she do not have intention to give up her French Nationality"

As a non francophone Canadian with dual citizenship I have mixed feelings about this, my other citizenship does not detract from my commitment to Canada, but if I were in the position of being offered such a high profile position in Canada I would willing revoke my other Citizenship. Although I will admit to being rather tired of the disproportionate number of francophone citizens appointed to high ranking positions in our country I cannot find real fault with this one of a French speaking Haitian. It is my understanding that this whole hoha was brought on by a piece in a separatist publication, I can think of little better endorsement of a candidate than an admitted anti Canadian publication questioning her suitability! The last one was of English? speaking decent and her main claim to fame was to spend as much of our tax dollars as possible. The position of Governor General is unfortunately about the only one that is dedicated to promoting Canada and Canadian values both within the country and overseas that is NOT politically motivated and not subject to constant change, for that reason alone it may be worth keeping.
