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

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

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

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

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

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.
