What exactly are the qualifications needed to be GG of Canada? Ms Payette has degrees in science and engineering. She speaks several languages. She can sing. She's worked in Switzerland, the USA, and she's worked with the armed forces & NATO while preparing technical programs for space.

I am not sure where your hostility is coming from. Since you name two other female GGs, can I assume it's misogyny? Or is it a dislike over GGs appointed by Liberal PMs? Michaelle Jean was perhaps the most popular GG we've ever had. I did not like Adrienne Clarkson, but she was a competent GG and maintained a high profile.

And what's with the idiotic comment that Ms Payette has no international, diplomatic, or business experience? You really need to read her wikipedia entry, old man. She's had far more international, diplomatic, and business experience than you could imagine.
