Good news for journalists across Canada today as another one of our breed was exalted to the prestigious and largely unknown office of Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, making him the Queen's representative in province.
As far as I know, David Onley is the first journalist made Lieutenant Governor, but you will remember that Governor-General Michaelle Jean, the Queen's rep in Canada, is a former journalist, and that her predecessor Adrienne Clarkson was also a journalist, as was her predecessor Romeo LeBlanc.
All of this fills journalists with dreams of extravagant working vacations and copious gardening funds.
