Her Excellency and Sharon Johnston

: As for her not having any official duties, yes, that technically true; there is actually only one government spouse in Ottawa with official duties, and that the Governor General wife, who gets to call herself Her Excellency, and act as consort to the representative of Canada head of state, cutting ribbons and greeting important guests and so forth, according to CBC. Now, quick: Name the Governor General wife. Well, first of all, she hasn't asked for any more help to take care of her kids. The reason you probably can't is that Sharon Johnston, while no doubt a lovely, public-spirited woman, is not a tall poppy. And a lot of Canadians just can't stand a tall poppy. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
