Not only that, unlike Australia's Governor General Michael Jeffery, Canada's Michaelle Jean is not a dimwit.
Before taking up the post, the Haiti-born, award winning journalist ran a womans' shelter in the 1980's and also was a Literature Professor at the University of Montreal.
Just before you think, 'ah journalist...Eddie', Jean is fluent in five languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish and Haitian Creole.
While Eddie McGuire is not yet fluent in English.
Michaelle Jean is taking over the post from Adrienne Clarkson. Another woman!
