      Julie Payette is what you get when a bunch of white guys get in a room and decide what #diversity looks like (and I do mean looks). They consider it a checkbox exercise, which doesn't take into consideration the person. It's window-dressing. #cdnpoli

      Well there ya go. Payette checked the woman in STEM boxes and that was that. She was in. Only which scientist do you know wants to spend their nights and days schmoozing and parroting the official government line? Yeah, me neither. Yet it seems no one thought abt that #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/ob0OpKYvey

      Here's my issue, they used her to be an instrument for their political agenda, not for representation. And we all fell for it. #cdnpoli

      Now before anyone says anything: yes she's accomplished, yes she's highly intelligent, yes she speaks 6 languages, but she's also an introvert who's fiercely protective of her private life. GG doesn't seem to be her hustle. She is more than a resume. We all are #cdnpoli

      And that's okay. Not everyone who's accomplished is suited for every type of position and it goes to show that the job matching process is woefully inadequate and so is what constitutes merit. For eg, I would suck as a politician cause I would just speak my mind #cdnpoli

      Doesn't mean I'm not accomplished but this idea that checking boxes is the path to diversity is exactly why white men (ppl) are not equipped to run that process. They have no merit. #cdnpoli

      "However, most believe the blame lies with the Prime Minister’s Office, for abandoning the advice of vice-regal experts and choosing a star candidate without ensuring she would be a good fit for the job." Cause all they saw was her as an appendage to his brand: #feminst #cdnpoli

      Remember this? I confess, I forgot too. Like this should have given a clue but everyone was so gung ho on her being a woman in STEM candidate that we papered over this one #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/51IlTKWbM6

      Background check anyone? Like how did she make it past the vetting process. Perhaps PMO should've returned to their indigenous candidates list but I guess that didn't fit their agenda. White Supremacy lives #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/JUsYVIUKJK

      I'm of two minds on this one: 1. She's more than just a rubber stamper, she's someone who a brain she's used to using. I get it. Be that uppity bitch 2. The GG job is a rubber stamping job. That ain't gonna change. Not sure it should #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/IU9wyrve5A

      GG is not just a rubber stamp job. There have been very active GG's in the past (some entangled in constitutional crisis). So called protocols are not set in stone but are invented traditions.

          True. Prorogation of Parliament come to mind. So perhaps this is just feathers of decorum being ruffled
