People are going to be on top of me for this one. Canada's newest Governor-General is: Michele Jean a 48 year old Hatian-Canadian from Quebec, a journalist with the CBC in both English and French. She's a good choice- the first black person to take the post, an eleqouent, and educated woman. It's just- she's from Quebec: Now, I have nothing against the province- it's beautiful, and a very important part of Canada. The appointment just smacks of partisanship. If anybody follows the news in any way the Liberal party have been in trouble in Quebec over the Sponsorship Scandal for quite sometime, and the appointment of Mme. Jean- also the first Quebecker to take the post in 21 years just smacks of an obvious attempt to keep Quebec under their thumb to me.
