For a position that is supposed to be non-partisan and represent all Canadians, Louise Arbour was exactly the wrong pick to become Canada’s next Governor General. That’s not on Madame Arbour, who I hope serves with grace and dignity while in the job. Botching the pick is completely on Prime Minister Mark Carney.
When Arbour’s name was first floated in the media, I doubted the reports, thinking there was no way that Carney and his team would be so foolish as to make such a political, partisan pick.
Not many approve …
.@MarkJCarney Prime Minister, why did you appoint a Governor-General who admitted herself that as U.N. human rights chief she gave a free pass to the worst tyrannies, saying she was “constrained by the reality of the organization’s power centers, including China and Russia”? https://t.co/yRc9o5nvT7 pic.twitter.com/ekohRTX0pj
