A recent opinion piece in the National Post has proposed that Quebec's next lieutenant governor should be a person with a military background. The author argues that constitutional arguments alone will not be sufficient to uphold the relevance of the Crown in Quebec. Instead, they emphasize the necessity of having a lieutenant governor whom the people of Quebec can genuinely respect and relate to, asserting that the legitimacy of the office hinges on the character and background of its holder. This perspective invites a broader discussion about the evolving role of the Crown in Quebec and the attributes required in its representatives to foster greater connection with the populace. The piece reflects ongoing dialogues regarding Quebec's political landscape and public sentiments toward traditional institutions.
