Bonne décision!
Spend taxpayer money to get rid of a person in a purely ceremonial role because they don’t speak the correct official language. Quebec is a joke.

The office of the Governor-General needs to be bilingual; the Governor-General doesn’t need to be bilingual.
Québec keeps doing these things and the Laurentian Elite keeps getting surprised by ‘Wexit’ and Western Alienation…
As a Québec independentist, I hope the wexit will work.
There’s flaws with the ruling and the article specifically notes the Lt-Gov is not specified in the Language Skills Act. It was noted that with the ruling the “hope” is that a number of laws are changed so that the law reflects the judges ruling, a situation that reflects it’s not illegal. Go ahead: ask yourself “what is preventing the PM from appointing another unilingual Lt-Gov?”
Nothing prevents it from happening, it goes against the Constitution and it’s up to the government to do something about it and I’m sure Quebec will fight much harder to see french getting the respect it deserves.
Alright, but don’t be surprised that BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, as well as Newfoundland and Labrador also fight for themselves. Insisting that high-level positions be fluent bilingually disenfranchises unilingual provinces.
