Count me in that 47%. I like the lady and think she does a good job representing Canada. I do hope she stays on for another term.

Enough foreign born women, we've proved our point on foreigners and women it's time to move on to the gay Esquimaux!

I wonder if it might not be viewed as "you-wash-my-back-and-I'll-wash-yours"
The current GG may wash my back if she wants to, I won't object. At the end of five years, however, it's time for a new GG so Michaelle Jean can go about her new back-washing job.

Is there some old dusty musty tradition that the Government General's office cannot be held by each of the children of the Queen?

Or even the grandchildren (of age)?

The taxpayers supporting all that free for nuthing stuff makes me wonder why the kids aren't doing more than attending teas and openings of museums or whatever....

Make em earn their pension or salary ..... laws can be changed if Governor Generals are more specific than Princesses and Princes.

Modern convention has had Canadian citizens as GG, and I'd much prefer that to someone who knows little to nothing about our culture or politics.

Hmm, the poll here is similar in results to the randomized poll of Canadians. Though as expected, far fewer without an opinion on this forum than in the Canadian populace.

:D

Vernon, B.C.
Why do you think her term should be extended? She was okay in her position but not spectacular. If 48% want her kept in her position then 51% either want her out or don't care. Probably most don't care.


And the other 1%???????? Are these figures statistical or anecdotal? Not that it really matters which variety of bullsh*t it is.............:lol::lol::lol::lol:
