#2 And where was Canada's Governer General? The Queen's Representative in Canada - did she attend, as is traditional, the Queen's birthday celebrations? Attend as it is part of her job? Nope.
Often wiping away tears, the elegant Governor General sat in the gym of Lawrence Heights Middle School and watched the premiere of An Ode to Madame G.G., a play inspired by her life. Written by the school's drama teacher and performed by many of its Grade 7 and 8 students, it told of her early years in Haiti before persecution by dictator Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier forced her family to flee to Canada when she was just 11.

A play all about her took precedence to a diplomatic presence at a function for the Queen - a big part of Canadian history. She couldn't go the next day either because she had "stuff to do".

She doesn't represent Canada. She represents the whining immigrant "oppressed", Quebec separatists and the leftest media a Lib could hope to find.

Good work Jean. Still representing Haiti, aren't you. The appointment wasn't meant to be a Miss World contest, but the search for an appropriate representative of Canada's values and history.

For a tear-jerking review of the performance see:
