Michaëlle Jean is a glowing example of that role apparently. With the Queen on Canadian soil, it’s her job to receive the visitors and host the foreign state representatives. The problem is Michaëlle Jean isn’t doing that job very well. She did receive the Queen on the east coast when she landed, but since has been pulling a Casper on the remaining (short) visit.

Where in the world is Michaëlle Jean? China?

She’s doing important work over there (we think). but more important than showing the Queen our nation, strong and free? We don’t think so.
