I am more than glad to pay Julie Payette a $150k a year to fudge off and never be spoken of again.
The Cosa Nostra call it "keep your mouth shut money".

The Governor General also fulfills important ceremonial duties:
- Promoting a sense of identity.
Maybe not hiring your wife's underemployed friend? Doing a thorough background check on all prospective candidates, even if there is only one and your wife says she's good to go? Having a selection committee?There are ways to avoid that mistake in future without opening up our entire system of government for a rewrite.
I hope so. None of the celebretards who have held the position have been worth a dead dogs fart.I have a sense that the next GG will be somebody most of us have never heard of before.
With any luck. That is actually how this is supposed to work.I have a sense that the next GG will be somebody most of us have never heard of before.
That goes against the very soul of the Liberal Party of Canada.I have a sense that the next GG will be somebody most of us have never heard of before.
Slap in the face to any working Canadian whose taxes are paying for it, and the expense account.Her pension is a slap in the face to most who have ever served this country (military, or civilian)
I don't think there is anything stopping her from seeking candidacy in an upcoming election.I am more than glad to pay Julie Payette a $150k a year to fudge off and never be spoken of again.
This actually pisses me off. A lot.If I was forced to resign, and got a severance package like that, I would be crying all the way to the bank.
Civilian clerks where I used to work were vetted more carefully than she, apparently, was.,
"Payette resigned from her position as COO of the Montreal Science Centre in 2016 after complaints about her treatment of employees, sources allege. She received a $200,000 severance package. Payette also left her position on the Canadian Olympic Committee in 2017 after two investigations into treatment of staff, including allegations of verbal abuse, according to sources from the organization."
A $150,000 per year pension for life, and a $206,000 per years "expense account" for life.
She's in her 50's, and seems healthy, so she could be collecting that dough for decades.
This actually pisses me off. A lot.
I try to avoid really listening to political matters these days. Between the army of morons we seem to have in our leadership positions, the bias media that doesn't actually report anything fairly or in it's entirety, and a society that seems to be more polarized than I've ever seen it... I truly do try to avoid politics these days. (I blame the media - purely - for society being so polarized, as it almost seems that is their objective.)
But let me get this straight...we are REWARDING someone for a long string of behaving like a pompus, entitled b**ch - with what will add up to over a million dollars of taxpayer money. Am I understanding this correctly?
She treats people like garbage so badly she is not only dismissed from positions, but the behaviour goes so far as to warrant a variety of investigations. Position after position, she seems to treat people like dirt, and cause that workplace to be toxic & unprofessional - the exact opposite of what people should experience, especially in these types of positions.
Even her own detail, when asked by the investigators about her behaviour, stated that her conduct was unprofessional, immature, toxic, unproductive, etc etc.
So this is now the 3rd (or 4th) position in a row where she's been investigated & given the boot.... simply on the grounds of behaving like an entitled b*tch.
And now we, as a country who's finances are not exactly doing great, are going to REWARD this person with a healthy chunk of cash for the rest of her life?
WHAT. THE. F**K.
(Sorry mods, genuine apologies on the language.)
Does nobody in the PM's office (rhetorical question) have the spine to say... "Okay, she's behaving like an immature little tyrant & creating a toxic environment for everybody. We can't have this as someone who travels internationally to represent us. Time to dismiss her on grounds of poor performance."
And boom. Done. Bye.
I genuinely HATE how our so called leaders don't actually lead. They dictate. They play by their own rules. They break the law. They act like absolute morons. And when they get caught behaving in ways that the rest of us would just get fired for... we pay them a wad of cash as a reward.
<End of rant. Just pissed. Is it election time yet?)
Totally agreed.
On the surface, she's a "Canadian. Female. Francophone. Astronaut."
Boom. Checklist complete! And to be fair, if an astronaut was nominated for any position I was hiring for, I'd take a look at them pretty quickly. And to be honest, I would probably be biased and think 'this person is extremely intelligent, well educated, worked hard to get there, and obviously works well with others given the nature of space missions."
