One of these things is not like the other.


And over at Daimnation, Mark C. can't seem to tell the difference between Governor-General Michaelle Jean and General Rick Hillier.

I'm guessing it's that common title of "General" that makes it so confusing.

MarkC is correct. Jean is Commander-in-Chief. Hillier is Chief of Defence Staff.

I suspect I was being too subtle. The point I was making is that Mark was wondering whether the opposition parties would "criticize" Jean as they've criticized Hillier, when those are two entirely different situations.

You have to excuse Mark. He appears to get all short of breath at the sight of a woman in cadpat.

I don't think I heard the "support of the mission" in quite the way Mark is trying to put forward. It looked to me more like promoting an idea.

How long has she got to go, anyway?

Oh, I get it now. Man, you are sharp.
