OTTAWA — A new viceregal tenant may soon be getting the keys to Rideau Hall — but just who the country’s next governor general will be, and when he or she might move in, remains a mystery. Reports have circulated for months that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not planning to extend Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean’s term.The Toronto Star reported Saturday that Harper is now “actively seeking her replacement,” going so far as to approach Canada’s Man in Motion, Rick Hansen, as a possible replacement.Other names that have surfaced are Inuit leader Mary Simon, the current president of the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, and retired Canadian Forces general John de Chastelain.

How about Colin Mayes?

Couldn't we just give her a little housing allowance and let her live in a little apartment and just bring her out when we need her, like on groundhog day?

Or when Stevie wants to prorogue, so's he can come up with an amazingly important forward-thinking budget.
