Who should be Canada's next Governor-General?
I can't say who the next GG will be be, but I can say that it sure won't be another ex-CBCer. Wink
Rick Hansen would be a good choice, but he apparently turned it down.

"He essentially has not been given the opportunity to accept, decline or even consider . . . the role," said McMillan, who speaks on behalf of the Rick Hansen Foundation.
There has been speculation for years about Hansen taking on the job of the governor general.
"His response has always been that he's very honoured, really flattered that Canadians would consider him for such a position in our country," McMillan said.
There's a movement to get Preston Manning the job.
It's about time we had a white male, who is not a former CBC reporter, don't you think?

What a slanted list. Why not retired General Romeo Dallaire? If anyone deserves to be honored and recognized for SERVICE to their country it is him.
Dallaire is retired, long retired and is internationally respected.

Yeah I know but he is still tied in to the Cdn military and a so call failed UN or Cdn Military Mission and politically "he would also be a minefield" for the Feds if they considered him as GG because he could come back to further haunt the Cdn government itself...and also I do believe he is a Lib and then the Quebec factor has to always be weigh in when a GG is considered and Quebec is not entirely pro military to begin with etc...

Can you name a more honoured person in recent memory? Apart from Jon Montgomery of Russell, MB and the continuously lauded Gail Asper?
