I like her. She has lovely cheekbones.
And she's a journalist.
I'm watching her on CBC Newsworld right now.

What the hell is she sitting on? Is that a TVO children's set?

― Kim (Kim), Thursday, 4 August 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

SHE SLAYED COOKIE MONSTER!

And stuffed him.

And that's how we elect our Gov-Gen's (who are kinda sorta Heads of State, in an official, cermonial capacity, as long as the Queen's not in town)!

Now I am imagining Huk laying out traps to catch and eat a wild Grover.

Hey, I've done freelancing for the CBC...I could be next in line!

Clearly you must face off Ms. Jean via MORTAL KOMBAT

Are there any ugly white non-frenchies out there saying it should have been Christie Blatchford?

― everything, Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

no.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

What a horror show that would be!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Rex Murphy then? C'mon.

Hayley Wickenheiser.

"Her first love was literature...and...in 2000 she was awarded a prize by Quebec's Conseil de la Langue Francaise for her "rich, precise and rigourous" mastery of French vocabulary."

Je m`en tamponne le coquillard! (sacre veinare, elle a du cul)

― everything, Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

This is a terribly unflattering pic of her, but why not Amanda Singroy - she's a fox!

SCORE!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

Wayne Gretzky should be next in line.

haitian taxi driver in mtl interviewed for tv news : "I don't know if she was given the job for some strategic political reasons and we don't want to know, hehehe, we are all very happy."

i only hope she doesn't begin to believe she is royalty like that twit adrienne clarkson does.

― drone/a/saur (william), Friday, 5 August 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

"i only hope she doesn't begin to believe she is royalty like that twit adrienne clarkson does."

That's hardly fair, yet a very Canadian reaction. Heaven forbid the woman attempt to bring a little class and elegance to the position.

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Friday, 5 August 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)

Class and elegance are one thing. Spending lavish amounts of taxpayer money in a manner that would make Louis XIV blush is another.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

What's the point of having monarchs and vice-regals if, occasionally, we don't chop off their heads?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Ha haha! Well put - I must have it in shirt form!
