Francophone, but bilingual, and a woman ....

I give you Captain Clutch: Marie-Philip Poulin.

LGBTQ++ on top of everything.

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

Bev fails the " never explicitly paid by China" test.

Bev fails the " never explicitly paid by China" test.

Hadfield was/is according to you?

Hadfield was/is according to you?

I said nothing about Hadfield.

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

So, another former CBC employee it is then!

At birth or at the time of appointment? It's hard to keep up.

The distinction was part of our census questionnaire.

I said nothing about Hadfield.

Since I listed 3 individuals and 1 of them, Charest, had worked for a mjaro Chinese Telecom company in the past and you named 1 of the other 2 - Bev - the implication was that the remaining 1 - Hadfield - had some sort of 'worked for the Chinese' taint against him.
