Is Canada now predominantly Anti-Capitalist?

Jack Burton asks do you agree with Michael Campbell?

Michael Burton says:

As we all know it is simply the fact that she was an announcer for the CBC as have the past 4 GG’s have been! How else can they get good press! Born in Canada why would we be so crass! The liberals have no shame and should be thrown out of office. Martin is simply like the rest.

Dr. Phil Burton says:

Sounds like he was having trouble coming up with a topic for his collumn. I'm not sure what qualifications are neccessary to be GG or if it should be a prize or lifetime achievement award. Seems to me the GG is a cheerleader for Canada and represents us at cultural, ceremonial, and sports events; ie if it was real important the PM would be there.

The world sees Canada as a tolerant, peaceful place with opportunity for all. While this image may be somewhat undeserved, likely this appointment was made to perpetuate it. Undoubtedly also to suck up to immigrant voters in Quebec.

This lady is a good communicator, youthful, french,pretty, intelligent, and an immigrant to boot... what more could you want. She will have no more influence on government policy than any other GG and hopefully she'll have a bit more common sense than the current GG and realize that her job is not that important and doesn't require 7 figure budgets.

No outrage required on this one

Christopher Burton Says:

I wonder why no one has addressed the main point of Campbell’s article. Are we becoming anti-Capitalist and anti-Globalist? Has the disease of collectivism so permeated the country that we think this is a normal attitude?

The Governor General is the highest post (when the Queen is out of town) in the Country. It is no less a symbol than the national flag. The Liberals managed to destroy the flag and have been doing their utmost to destroy the office of Governor General. I guess they will never forgive Julian Byng.

The Governor General is the head of the Canadian Armed Forces, an organization that is dependant on tradition to maintain morale and effectiveness. The ascension of totally unqualified people who have no idea of the efficacy of military tradition is a slap in the face to our armed forces and further erodes its self-worth. But then again the Liberals never did like the military.

The choice of a woman who has spent her life milking the hind tit at the CBC while applying to become a citizen of the French Republic, our oldest enemy both philosophically and militarily, is a calculated appointment that will without a doubt denigrate the office of Governor General. We don’t even have to bring up the fact that her husband is in favour of destroying the Country, is a socialist and has consorted with terrorists.

I think many in the world view us as a soft touch – an easy mark. Canada can always be counted on to act outside of her best interests. For those of us that are not preoccupied with re-electing the federal Liberals this is a very painful admission.
