Her Excellency
We were blessed this week by a visit from the new Governor General, who blew into the heartland to mingle with the peasants. She touched everyone’s heart by kissing babies, waxing vaguely on mom and apple pie issues, and generally putting on a show like she’s just one of us. Madame, you may be a lot of things, but one thing I will guarantee, you are not one of us.
Your entire working life seems to be involved with universities, government or the CBC. Although teaching is a noble profession and working as a reporter for CBC could be and probably is an interesting occupation, I’m afraid that neither position has exposed you to the daily grind of the average Canadian, who struggles to pay the mortgage, educate and raise kids etc, etc.
