This woman is beyond belief--the first governor-general in over half a century for which knowledge of Canada is on-the-job training. The Francophonie makes it into most of her speeches, but the Commonwealth never. 2008 is not the annniversary of the French presence in North America, but the anniversary of the founding of Quebec (Jacques Cartier's first voyage was in 1534, more than 70 years before Champlain founded Quebec). Her reference to the natives being enslaved is a bit confusing. Is she referring to their enslavement by other natives? And finally, while she spent her childhood in Haiti, I seriously doubt she suffered much poverty. Her family had enough money to send her to school in Italy after all. I just hope that PM Harper is still in power when the time comes for him to recommend to the Queen a replacement for this nobody.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-24277054701026547572007-09-07T14:47:00.000-07:002007-09-07T14:47:00.000-07:00"Most narcissistic?"
