The content of the Tweet, while not inherently shocking or any more radical than the normal anti-status quo jargon, surprised me because of author's previous job atop the Canadian governmental hierarchy. Is there is a position in the Canadian governmental system that might be more associated with the maintenance of the status quo than that of Governor General? Not only is the Governor General representative of the Queen, a person whose financial stability can be attributed to nothing other than to have been born heir to the throne, but they also personally sign all government legislation.
I can't help but wonder if she could have been more complicit in the maintenance of the system about which she is now complaining?
