francais? non.

Sunday, September 25, 2005

I was surfing around cbc.ca today and I noticed an article on Michaëlle Jean and her decision to give up her French citizenship, which she gained when she married her French husband.
Good move, I say. If you're going to be representing the Queen of England, you've got no business being French too. Not to mention the fact that the Governor General (I really think that when a woman is at the post it should be Governess General, that sounds very cool) is the Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian forces, she should be Canadian first and only.
Now I know that she was born in Haiti, I'm not sure if she holds that citizenship, or if she can give it up. Of course citizenship is really just a notion these days, it's not like her being a French citizen would compromise her ability to do her job, but I still believe that she made the right move.
