A country with a principled egalitarian left, or principled patriotic right, would possess at least some political momentum to abolish the governor generalship, which holds more than enough absurdities to offend the entire political spectrum.

CASH FOR LIFE:  It ain't just Omar Khadr

Gov. Gen. Julie Payette departs office, we learn, with a pension of about $150,000 a year, for life, for doing a job not very well, and for not very long.
IN OTHER FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT NEWS:
Ottawa Coun. Diane Deans said both the board and police service “recognize the tragedy of Mr. Abdi’s death as well as the need to respect the family’s healing process.”
Oh, they've been settling for a while now...
On the same day Abdirahman Abdi was pronounced dead, Ottawa police moved to hire a Somali-Canadian man who had failed a background check, prompting the civilian investigator in charge of vetting officers to resign.
