A new Governor General is on the way. Place your bets.

Might be a woman. Likely bilingual.

Carney to name Canada's next governor general on Tuesday: sources​

Trudeau could get away with Simon because he was fluently bilingual.

Carney trying to do the same while his French is passable at best with the PQ still on track to win the provincial election come fall would be political seppuku.

If the new governor general isn't bilingual it's because they cannot speak a word of english.
 
There are a couple of variations to get that ricky tick:

1. "Raise your hand if you have a motorcycle licence...."

2. "O-Group, but first I need a volunteer..."
-"what for?"
--"Thanks for volunteering, Go see PMMC"

When I posed the question to Google - 'Name me 3 possible candidates for the next Canadian Governor General' I was given:

1) Beverley McLachlin
2) Chris Hadfield
3) Jean Charest

Perfect way to show how AI needs caveats :)

Grok's list using the same question:
  1. Jean Charest
  2. Beverley McLachlin
  3. Chris Hadfield
Duck AI:
  • Janet Ecker — former Ontario cabinet minister and public-policy executive; experienced in government and non-profit governance.
  • Romeo Saganash — former MP and Indigenous leader with strong ties to Indigenous communities and reconciliation work.
  • Michaëlle Jean — former Governor General (2005–2010) and diplomat; considered for symbolic, unifying appointments.
Perplexity:
  • Mary Simon
  • Janice Charette
  • Jody Wilson-Raybould
Claude AI
  1. Beverley McLachlin
  2. Rosalie Abella
  3. Jean Charest
I asked Chat GPT, "Name me 3 possible candidates for a new Canadian Governor General to replace Mary Simon" (given Chat GPT included Mary Simon as a reappointment and Michaëlle Jean as a bring-'er-back candidate). Chat GPT's picks using the new question:
  1. Bob Rae
  2. Murray Sinclair (key caveat on Sinclair, given he died in November 2024: "Age and health considerations could factor into willingness") :)
  3. David Johnston
Late add: further refining the Chat GPT prompt to eliminate re-tread candidates and those no longer having pulses, here's its picks:
  1. Bob Rae
  2. RoseAnne Archibald
  3. Louise Arbour
 
Since there's room for detailed discussion on "the guessing race", pulling this into its own thread. Remember that the usual rules re: political discussion continue to apply.

Step one: Name Jennie Carignan as GG.

Step two: ????

Step three: Profit.
