Say what you will about Justin's Trudeau's policies -- when the rubber hits the road, there's a lot of continuity between him and Stephen Harper -- the fact is that, when it comes to optics, he's a much better politician than his predecessor. Put simply, his appointment of Julie Payette as the next Governor General is a brilliant stroke.
Payette is a highly accomplished woman -- brilliant, scientifically gifted, with superb soft skills which can be communicated in six languages.
Trrudeau could not have chosen a better person to represent Canada -- at home and abroad -- than Payette.
