This Governor General is not Fluent in French. Who cares, Quebec doesn't even celebrate Canada Day. Quebec is a separatist Province , they take take take and give back nothing. Let them leave Canada . Bonne Chance!!
Does anyone else hear the hypocrisy when Justin Trudeau says it’s shameful hey Justin did you forget that dear o daddy was a huge part of the schools and he praised him and he even put money into it and also his visionary was pushed onto you as you were growing up and there is a saying the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.Suggested if you had a para balls why don’t you bring up this information it’s public knowledge why don’t you apologize for what your father did
This is so amazing 💯🇨🇦🔥 it’s great for our people 💯🔥 all you racist people don’t even bother leaving a comment it’s disgusting💯🔥 children were murdered. My nanny went to Residential school. Wake up Canadians should not be racist 💯🥊🥊🇨🇦
I understand this to be true "The Governor-General may dismiss an incumbent Prime Minister and Cabinet, an individual Minister, or any other official who holds office "during the Queen's pleasure" or "during the Governor-General's pleasure". … The Governor-General can also dissolve Parliament and call elections without Prime Ministerial advice."
A publicity stunt from Trudeau.
His liberal government has continue to fail indigenous people, but Through optics, he’s just hoping to stay in power…
Same Old same same old
M. Trudeau veut se faire pardonner pour les autochtones décédés dans les pensionnats.
Oh great, another example of our great government pretending to care about native americans, I've certainly not seen that one before at all.
Cool, but I still don’t trust him.
Trying to buy the indegenous votes justin?
This G.G. position should be eliminated all together. We are paying this person $200,000 – $300,00 plus many perks plus a life time pension (indexed) when she retires.
And we still don’t have a bullet train. What high speed train. Why not take a plane? If the price is just as much s a plane ticket
Indigenous leaders from FIRST NATION is really historic.
Shame on Canada
The monarchy is a non- entity…This is a huge " nothing burger".What a joke and a disgusting insult to these people.T
They're being used as window dressing once again…
Great thanks 🌾📽️❤️❤️
Et elle ne parle pas français. Pas un mot. Bravo Trudeau.
I see this forest fire as something like a warning to humans regarding future devastation. So we can expect more disasters in the human-inhabited areas too.
VIRTUE SIGNALING MUCH??
Not one mention of her being the best qualified. I would be embarrassed to be considered a diversity hire. It is the equivalent of being chosen just because you were the prettiest. That soon gets exposed and turns out disastrous. Who cares?? What colour. What ethnicity???? Only a racist would care about this foolishness. Canada is going down the drain rapidly. Good job choosing a drama teacher to run the country. If you can’t keep your household running, you should not be allowed to run a country.
Another box ticking appointment to a job that should be an absolute dawdle for anyone to do unfortunately being a straight old white male with no Criminal record or disabilities I could never qualify nowadays. We will see how this goes all this said one of the best recent G.G.s was Michaelle Jean who I also thought at the time was elevated to the position because she ticked a lot of boxes and yet she went on to fill the role with the dignity and gravitas it needs.
Jody Wilson-Raybould was our first female indigenous attorney general. How did that go?
Remember? I do.
When you choose political correctness and identity politics over credentials and character you get what we had with the last GG…a train wreck. Not unexpected given the character of the criminal in charge at the moment!
Everything is political these days. When politics governs the world, nothing works as supposed to, only apperances left. I suspect recent events were total fabrication in order to create a political momentum, business as usual. Where virtue signaling… usually no virtue.
Why has it taken this long to appoint an indigenous GG?
Mrs Mary Fraser (to give Mary Simon her current legal name) is the daughter of British fur trader and an Inuit mother. She would be regarded as an ordinary Anglo Canadian if she had not chosen to work on Iniut affairs. She can't be called 'an Inuk woman' because she is half-English. But then one can identify oneself as anything these days and the media will no doubt go on saying that she is Iniut.
Not mentioned here is that she was shortlisted for Governor-General in 2010 when Stephen Harper needed to recommend a new G G to the Queen. In the event he recommended Bruce Johnston. So she is not a new candidate for the G G post.
another bloodline generation installation ,, theresa May 1st cousin.. her father is related to the queen … this is just another bloodling
politics is bloodlines and generational installations …. canada an canadians dont even realise the blood ties .. people need to wake up to reality of the elites
Until she speaks out against the Liberal-fascist party of the Trudopian regime. Then Dear Leader will muzzle her and bully her, just like he did with JWR.
A good and wise choice, unlike Julie Payette who was a real piece of work. She was a big joke.
Trudeau was accused to sexual assault while teaching in BC before entering politics. This man is a fake and should NOT be PM, don't vote for him again!
A bloody humiliation to indigenous peoples.
Time to disclose, copy and paste pictures of the living demons responsible for the thousands of unmarked graves at the Indigenous residential schools. Those monsters need to be prosecuted. A.S.A.P!
