The Journal reports:
Canada’s next governor general, David Johnston, is a respected academic and lawyer. He is also Anglican.
Currently the president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo, Johnston will succeed Governor General Michaelle Jean when her term ends on Oct. 1.
According to the Globe and Mail:
Mr. Johnston combines a mind that has traversed securities law, Quebec separatism and emerging high technologies with the formidable diplomatic skills of someone who has served as president of two universities. And he possesses what is universally described as a personality that combines unaffected warmth with boyish enthusiasm.
He will be guided, as well, by his Anglican faith.
Everything seemed fine up until that last sentence.
Yup, he’s Anglican all right. See: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jul/10070809.html
I hadn’t seen this when I made the post, but it seems it was depressingly prescient.
There goes the neighbourhood.
Kinda makes you wonder… who’s pulling the strings behind the ‘throne’?
