The Victoria Times Colonist floats a dark horse for Governor General:
Finally, what about Ujjal Dosanjh? He would have to resign as MP for Vancouver South. But no member of Canada's Sikh community has ever served as governor general. Perhaps in exchange for the honour, he would be willing to give up his seat in Parliament.
Hmm, you say. Isn't that that rather odd, unpleasant fellow who recently claimed that Canadian officials, based on flimsy hearsay evidence, were guilty of war crimes (but not Canadian soldiers, uh-huh! Sorry, Ujjal, it don't work that way. That "I vas chust vollowing orders!" schtick died at the end of a rope at Nuremberg.). But stay with me here -- this could be a win-win for everybody involved.
By invoking what we will come to call the Dosanjh Doctrine -- the notion that following a previous governments' course of action for even an instant qualifies one to be sent up on phony charges -- we have set the stage for the most dramatic Governor General investiture evah. For recall that the position also encompasses the role of Commander-in-Chief of Canada's armed forces; a.k.a. Mr. Big War Criminal himself. So he will be attending in handcuffs, leaving for The Hague immediately thereafter. Thus we will have accomplished the following goals: a) We finally get to put the evil, evil Dosanjh behind bars; b) the Sikh community enjoys some (short-lived) fame; and c) Buh-bye, Ujjal!

The logical choice for GG is Lewis MacKenzie
or Rick Hillier IMO.

That was one funny editorial. About what one would expect from the roll of toilet paper disguised as a newspaper that is the Times Colonist.

Did everyone else notice the Times-Colonists recommendations were determinedly Left-wing, and I include Kim Campbell in that assessment.
The Red Tory who killed off the old Conservative Party, led it to the worst political defeat in Canadian history, would be my very LAST choice for G-G, behind David Suzuki and Jack Layton.
Ujjal Dosanjh, of the Gustafson Lake Debacle? My dog would gag on that one.
Nope, if the choices of the Editors at the T-C were the only choices, I'd say do away with the office altogether.

Hey why not let Obama be GG of Canada since he's so loved in Canada. The REAL Canada Ontario & Quebec would embrace Him like a geek god.
Just think of the opportunity as Obama represents Canada?
He will bring change & Hope to a Nation under the boot heel of Harper. He will do for us like he's done for America's Marxists.

Ooge is a "member of the Sikh community" ??? That's news to me, and I believe to Sikhs as well.

Let me qualify what I said there. Ooge has never been an observant Sikh -- he cuts his hair, doesn't wear a turban, doesn't attend religious services, never uses the name Singh in any public way that I've ever seen or heard (and I used to live in his district), and the same goes for his entire family.
