Governor General to visit native country

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA (CP) — Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean is returning to the land of her birth, Haiti, for a four-day visit beginning Thursday.

Jean is making the trip at the request of Prime Minister Stephen Harper as Haitians struggle in the face of a food crisis exacerbated by hurricanes and tropical storms that have ravaged the country.

Haiti is Canada’s biggest development assistance beneficiary in the Americas, and the second largest in the world after Afghanistan.

Jean plans to visit several new humanitarian aid projects in the disaster areas of Les Cayes and Ennery, near Gonaives.

Hope that she gets back in time for Obama's visit.

1. At the PM's request...

I wonder if he wants her out of the country for some reason.

2. How much for her to stay there?

Everyone loves her down there, and then maybe the queen can fill the position with someone competent for once. Christ, the GG has *one* important job to do...

3. She really gets involved, I'll say that for her.

I can't imagine the Queen doing this.
