OTTAWA – Following the resignation of Governor GeneralJulie Payette, in the wake of abuse allegations, Prime Minister Trudeau has been having an impossible time finding another astronaut to fill the position.
“You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a Canadian astronaut with some availability,” stated an exhausted Trudeau, poring over profiles on the Canadian Space Agency website. “I’ve been on the phone with Chris Hadfield’s people all day.”
Payette’s resignation was long overdue, considering her behaviour at Rideau Hall which involved, ‘yelling, screaming, aggressive conduct, demeaning comments and public humiliations’ according to an independent report. When asked to comment on her behaviour Trudeau was deeply upset, stating, “the Governor General is arguably the most important role in the Canadian Government. It should be conducted by a level-headed, respectful, self-effacing astronaut with lots and lots of space hours logged.”
