Do we need a Governor General? An emphatic no? Isn't it time we did away with all the pomp and ceremony and get down to the reality of everyday living?

How can she justify spending over $5 million for herself and her guests when we have so many homeless people in our society? There are families where children go hungry because the minimum wage is stretched to the limit providing only the bare necessities.

Does she have any idea how hard we have to work to support her lavish lifestyle?

We could use her salary and expense account and put that money into our health care system. Then we could have her pay back the $5 million she foolishly spent and build some low rental housing for our homeless people. The $216,000 spent on landscaping and $77,000 for renovations could feed the hungry.

It's time we know where our priorities are.
