James Bartleman For GG?

He's already done the job, provincially. He's got every other qualification one can think of. And since Vanier, Sauvé, Clarkson & Jean have all broken new ground, recognising the diversity of our country, maybe we could get around to having someone of First Nations' status in the 2nd top job in the country (technically - top is Queen of Canada, of course) - I know it's only been 400+ years since permanent European settlement, and one shouldn't rush into these things, and call me wildly impulsive, but why not now, and not in another 400 years? Maybe a helpful role model and reminder given the problems and opportunities of First Nations and Canada: if their education and jobforce integration rates were similar to general population, that would help a lot, and relieve need for quite as much immigration, with consequent integration troubles, as we note, currently. Canada started with the First Nations, and they are Canada's future. They are our once and future kings. Maybe one of them should get the job, for a while, eh?
