Even though she has yet to assume office, Michaelle Jean, the designated Governor General of Canada, has already managed to find herself embroiled in a bunch of controversies. The biggest discussion at the moment is over Ms. Jean’s alleged history of support for the Quebec independence movement. She and her husband have lots of high-profile separatist friends, and when asked how she herself voted in the 1995 referendum on secession, Ms. Jean refused to answer.
