It’s truly amazing the amount of pandering that going on in the world.
Let alone the pandering in Canada. Pandering, that’s the polite way of saying suck-holing.
Funny he had to read a pre-written post shameful
Her duties are to take attention away from burnt churches. Oh, and to make JT appear like a uniting trail blazer, even though appointing an underqualified person to political power based on ethnicity is its own form of pseudo racism.
not pseudo
lol “political power”
Nailed it.
Her duties should be to abolish the GG and resign.
Fly everywhere on a private jet on taxpayers expense and occasionally shake hands and nod – that’s about sums up the job.
Their primary Job is needlessly consuming tax dollars
Her job is to RUBBER STAMP anything that trudeau wants
To ride the population – you do not need to expand further
Can’t be worse than the astronaut before. Ribbon cutting, tours, dinners, reciting a speech, smiling for photos, it’s not a difficult job…..
Wasting taxpayer money is their biggest job.
Bravo, and I thought I was the only one in Canada recognizing the waste of this needless position.
The duties?
To make a F**k ton of money for nothing.. Sort of like Canadian Senators that sit for life with a generous salary and then retirement.
Cushy jobs. I wish I was a Canadian Senator.
Also can’t forget $600000 every year for life Even if you quit or get fired
Steal tax payers money and get a pension. There’s no need for this position
The Governor General is a total waste of money
Totally agree
Isn’t her job hiding how taxpayers money goes into the politicians pockets?
No wtf is your problem?
@MomopilotCool I think you might be a bit too naive for politics.
Her job is what ever Trudeau tells her to do because when a 1st Nations gets the job they do as there told by the PM and that’s truth
Wrong. Read Article 9 of the Constitution. The Queen is the real Boss. The PM must swear allegiance to the Queen.
they all do not just 1st Nations
Congrats you hold the most pointless public position, now we get to here the indgins whine through the queens mouthpiece
So, she speaks about the evils of colonization while wearing the colonizers’ clothes, driving in their limousines, flying in their planes and working directly for the queen! Yeah, no hypocrisy there!! LOL!
Their duties are to collect a paycheck…. Nothing more.
2 main duties of this meritless, appointed position: being a token and a distraction
