"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis.

The former Governor General needs to shut up.

Ed Schreyer, the former Governor General and once NDP leader and premier of Manitoba, needs to keep his political biases in his belly, and as a former GG, needs to understand that it is not his place to comment on affairs of the office he no longer represents. Such is the decorum he should be according his successor. Coloured by his political bias, he should save his comments for his memoirs. Neither the present Governor General, nor the government of the day has requested his public opinion.
