I told you so. Again and again

 I've predicted this many times:  Julie Payette would be a disaster.  And she was.  On five occasions, I've written blogs about this mess:

• Partly right (12/07/2017)
• Is it just me? (02/10/2017)
• Give her a copy of the constitution (07/11/17)
• I told you so (22/09/2018), and
• I told you so....again (25/07/2020)

Not to clap myself on the back, but B says I am the one person he knows who, upon meeting someone for the first time, can assess him/her in seconds.  "And you're never wrong."

There are many indicators about someone that tell me all about them.  Their hair is the first thing, as I have also blogged many times.  After that come their clothes, shoes -- actually shoes come before clothes -- nails and makeup.  Doesn't matter if they're attractive or not.  I just have a knack for sizing someone up using the signals they themselves have chosen to project.  They tell me all about their values; I don't have to apply any of my own.

I knew Payette would be a disaster from the get-go.  Anyone who wears their hair like that at her age -- or at any age -- is completely inappropriate and out-of-touch.  The PM (I hate even calling him that) did not do any vetting when he jumped on her for the job of viceregal.  Afterall, she was a star, an astronaut and a brilliant scientist!  But the job of GG is one of diplomacy, tact and respect for the office and who it represents.

Payette had none of any of these.

Remember, this was a woman charged with assaulting her then-husband in 2011.  Then she was booted from the Montreal Science Centre for bullying and harassing staff -- the same reasons she was subsequently kicked off the Canadian Olympic Committee.  How could he have chosen her?!  Because he's shallow and vacuous, that's why.  Oh, and by the way, I forgot she actually killed a pedestrian in a traffic "mishap"!  And no one noticed!?!?

In her bullsh-it statement, she actually mimicked the words of Trudeau when she said, "People don't all experience something in the same way."  I'm sure the guy she killed experienced it in a completely different way:  He died.  That was Trudeau's excuse when he groped a female reporter in BC.  He also lost it when he actually crossed the floor of the House of Commons to manhandle and shove another female MP out of the chamber.  

By insisting she hire her bestie as her secretary, she abandoned government protocol which had always relied on seasoned staff, like the late Esmund Butler, to run the ship and keep it properly afloat.  No, apparently Payette and Asunta regularly threw tantrums abusing and belittling staff.  

And let's not forget that, even after the renovations she had demanded had been made at the cost of hundreds of thousands, she refused to live in the GG's official residence -- all with the approval of the demented and delusional Trudeau.

This appointment and "resignation" was an insult to Her Majesty.  In trying to replace her, Trudeau again is ignoring the learned committee Stephen Harper struck to find and assess potential candidates for governor general.  He'll just ask Telford and Butts to come up with a few star names -- the way he disastrously picked Payette.

And speaking of delusional, how she could use her ludicrous hippie son as her official escort in various duties was beyond insulting to everyone in attendance. 

Good riddance.  G-d help us with his next pick -- and it better not be Harry and Meghan!  Meghan's imperiousness is intolerable.

 

Actually, the cartoon is more flattering than the real thing.  How could a governor general read a speech from the throne looking like this?!
