2224...Should She Stay Or Should She Go Go?

She of course is Governor General Michaƫlle Jean who may have to go go when her current five-year term expires in September.

Such is the life of a rock star. Or at least someone in a rock star ish job.

You probably know my view on the situation: have a lotto and have our own royalty.

Not going to happen but that is my view.

The view of Afro Caribe Canada, as evidenced in an email they sent the WFDS is pro GG Jean. Good on them.

But their language is disturbing.

Should the black community rally for GG Jean's mandate to be extended, or just wait and watch her replacement, an old white guy (probably going to be a conservative friend of PM Harper), fall flat while trying in vein to fill her shoes ?


It sounds racist to me and denigrating to my people.

Plus, let you all know that we haven't had an old white guy for over a decade; the last two GGs were Asian and Black; we must be coming up in the rotation soon, eh?

  1. Any chance she had of staying is gone.With Ignatieff's interference she cannot be allowed to stay.
