[BRIEF NOTE] Our Next Governor-General

[rfmcdonald]

The whole controversy over whether or not Michaëlle Jean, Canada's next Governor-General, was a Québec separatist or not strikes me as bizarre. Unless you believe that Québec separatists are consciously trying to infiltrate the highest ranks of the Canadian polity, hoping to subvert Canada for their nefarious ends, you are left with the question of why any ethical person would want to become head of state of the country that she (supposedly) wants to destroy. One can assume that Québec separatists as a rule aren't ethical, that, in fact, the entire separatist desire is motivated by a base desire to butcher all the Anglos and ethnics within la Belle Province before setting off on a bloody path of North American conquest. One can, but one really shouldn't.
