I just got my B in French, and don't yet have my next posting message... Maybe it's me.

I was really hoping to get out of Ottawa....

The R&Q charges for Rideau Hall would be astronomical.

I got a letter from the Government of Canada today and got excited, but it was just the census. Oh well.

Chris Hadfield - that's my bet.

What, and give up the revenue stream from Specsaver commercials.

1) Beverley McLachlin

That could work. An Albertan to boot.

So, not Justin Trudeau?

He could dress up as a minority female.

Sidney Crosby.

Team Canada.

They did say Francophone as opposed to simply being bilingual and speaking French.

And I also heard 'female' as the gender of choice, apparently...

So, another former CBC employee it is then!

Chantal Hebert?

Chantal Hebert?

Oh. I like that one.

 

[DBNSG]

Chantal Hebert?

I don't think She would move

 

[daftandbarmy]

Oh. I like that one.

I saw her speak at a conference once and thought she'd make a great Prime Minister...

 

[Kilted]

Uncle Rick.

But apparently it is a woman again.

I'm hoping it's at least someone we have heard of.

Wrong kinda bilingual, bye.

They should randomly draw a social insurance number from someone who is either unemployed or makes less than the national average.

 

[The Bread Guy]

Chantal Hebert?

Likes her job too much now to be interested, I suspect - although decent choice.

CBC's version/tea leaves to read is "Multiple sources said Mark Carney’s selection is expected to be fully bilingual in English and French. Two sources said the appointee is a woman."

Just to set the timer, PM's announcement should start ~1030 Eastern.
