Snippet 10 -- Canada's Govenor General

 

"Gov. Gen. Julie Payette's disregard for the Mounties paid to protect her has resulted in added security risks and unnecessary taxpayer costs, according to RCMP and Rideau Hall sources. Payette's secrecy and resistance to working with the RCMP routinely sends her protective detail scrambling to fulfil last-minute requests and drives up spending on overtime, hotel and plane tickets, multiple sources told CBC News. Payette has even made repeated attempts to slip away from her protectors in Canada and abroad, sources say. The RCMP has also had to apologize for her behaviour to foreign security abroad because she treated them so poorly, said sources. The latest revelations come as the Governor General's office is under an extraordinary workplace review by the Privy Council Office after CBC News reported claims Payette has belittled, berated and publicly humiliated employees."

My Conclusion

The "knives" are out, and a "not guilty until proven" argument is being presented.  In my opinion, the "Where there's smoke ..." theory, should rule the Privy Council review.  The Prime Minister appointed Ms. Payette while rejecting Stephen Harper's request for the usual advisory board selection process and, now, he should whisper our request for her resignation.  Permitting her a further embarrassing three years in position could be seen as excessive (If Prince Harry is able to resign, why not Ms. Payette ?).

It could permit the long-awaited nomination of someone from the indigenous community, perhaps.

  1. Yesterday Morneau,tomorrow Payette, both sacrifices to the idiot PM Trudeau who holds all power in his baby hands. It is to shift his failures to other people on the basis that Canadians will forget what he has done. He's a megalomaniac as much as Xi, Putin, Trump and the others, even Harper in his time. We MUST get rid of him before he does more irresponsible damage to our country.

    1. Only "yesterday" and "tomorrow" ? Surely, it's between one election and another.

  2. Now, we learn that the president of the Queen's Privy Council has been given a new position (Intergovernmental affairs minister). Not to mention the rumour of proroguing parliament.
