Destruction of our Traditions by Stealth

Here is an interesting article on our new GG and those calling for the removal of that position.

Now there are many reasonable arguments for and against a GG. I am for having a GG for the following reasons:

-We need a head of government. Without a GG, the PM would be required to fulfill many more ceremonial events that would take him away from governing. We could run the country this way. This is the American system, where the head of government is also the head of state. This means more ceremonial jobs for the boss, and less time to devote to the affairs of state. If I was the PM, I would love to have someone I could pass off all the pomp to. For those Royalists, this is the best argument against getting rid of the GG. Since Canadians seem to reflexively hate whatever Americans do, all you have to say is that no GG means more like Americans. The idea defeats itself.

-If we rid ourselves of the GG, we will just have to set up a President or King to head the country. Unless you want the PM to do this? Considering that the PM (and PMO) has too much power already, this would be a mistake. So whether we call the person the Governor General, President or King, who cares? Why not keep what we have so at least we have some connection to our past and other countries that share our past? Have we not already destroyed enough of our past? What is it about our past that the left hates so much that they have remove all traces of it?

However, this is not what I really want to talk about. Two GG's, seemingly cut from the same cloth, (both CBC personalities). Are there no other persons in Canada, not from the CBC, who could represent our country? The Liberals seem to think not. I am not one for the principle of diversity, but for a government that seems to worship at its altar, where is the diversity of our last two GG's? Is there any doubt about the hypocrisy of the Liberals? Is there any doubt that the public would not see the hypocrisy of this? The Liberals seem to be trying to destroy our Canadian traditions by stealth. Putting up the worst persons possible, picking the highly political with axes to grind. If your desire was to destroy the tradition of a Governor General but were afraid to say it our loud, you would pick the worst person possible until the public go fed up and demanded the post be removed. C'mon, a separatist as GG? Is this a joke?

The so-called monarchists are no better. They will defend anyone to save their traditions. Read this article where the chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada states that her unambiguous statement on her loyalty to her country proves her dedication to Canada. It this guy for real? Where I come from, actions speak louder than words. Thirty years as a separatist is washed away by one statement "I am loyal"? What garbage.

John, you are not doing you cause any favours by supporting this woman.
