The Gov. Gen. is not the Queen. IJS.
The Governor-General is, in fact, the Queen's representative in Canada in our political system and performs the constitutional function of the monarch. And she (the GG) sometimes needs sick days too.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Which function is...practically nothing. How did this come up, anyhoo? (Skippy and drunk.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He's coming to visit you.
She, no?

I've already had an awful day and I have nothing productive to contribute to this conversation.
Except to say that I think Sophia and I share a mother.

She, tommyrot.
Brenda, the Gay Marriage bill was given roayl assent today by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court b/c the GG is recuperating from surgery.
I wondered what the Queen thought of this, since we're assenting in her name.
