Je m'ai trouve l'espoir.
In the next few years Canada will go through some serious unity Challenges.
The Parti Quebecois will almost certainly win the next provincial election in 2-3 years. And there will be a referendum within 2 years of that.
So we are looking at a referendum in 4-5 years (for you math geniuses).
Jean Michaelle, I think, will really be invaluable to Canada in the upcoming struggle. A mediator, and someone to bring us together.
Before she was nominated I had no hope for Canada remaining intact. When she was nominated I found some hope. When she defined her Coat of Arms as, Briser les Solitudes (Break the Solitudes), I found a great deal of hope. In fact, I'm over-flowing with it.

RE: Ms. Jean-New G.G. "in
I think she will do a fine job. Hopefully she is a bit more thrifty with our money.
Canada the land of opportunity, where an immigrant who is female can become head of state.
Unlike Canada, it is something you will not see in America.
I know you have to be born there to be president but I do not see a black women, a women or a black man becoming president anytime soon. The neocons will not allow it or vote for it.

It seems most English Canadians have gotten over initial misgivings and are pleased with the new GG. An excerpt:
Falling in love with Michaëlle Jean
If Canada's major English newspapers are indicative, the investiture Tuesday of Montreal's Michaëlle Jean as the new Governor General was a very positive turn of events.
"This new adventure" read the large front page headline in The National Post Wednesday morning. The Globe and Mail selected another stirring quote from Jean: "The time of two solitudes is past."
Columnist John Ibbitson in the Globe clearly was impressed:
"Her promise is the promise of what we almost are, of what we want to be. She is the becoming Canada."
Ibbitson cast Jean as both the wave of the future and of the present, symbolic of a new and different Canada.
"We are an entirely different country from the one reflected in the words and faces of those who lead us - old faces, old men, who nurse ancient animosities and scratch at phantom wound."
