NEW GOVERNOR GENERAL TO BE NAMED TODAY
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to introduce Canada’s next governor general today. And, sources say astronaut Julie Payette is among the top contenders to replace Gov. Gen. David Johnston, whose term is set to expire in September. Payette, a 53-year-old Montrealer who speaks six languages, took part in two flights to the International Space Station and was the Canadian Space Agency’s chief astronaut between 2000 and 2007.
