Thought For The Day

 In light of a damning report, this speaks much truth, eh?

H/t Toronto Star

Berated, Belittled And ..... Brutalized?

 It is beginning to look like our erstwhile and volatile Governor General, Julie Payette, did not limit herself to verbal abuse of staff. CBC reports the following:

Complainants who took part in an independent probe into claims of a toxic workplace culture at Rideau Hall claim former governor general Julie Payette's verbal harassment of staff crossed over into instances of physical contact, CBC News has learned.

The claims of physical contact were reported in testimony given to Quintet Consulting during interviews and will be included in the final report, multiple sources said.

Several sources with direct knowledge of the final report say Payette's workplace behaviour went beyond screaming at, belittling and publicly humiliating employees — and included unwelcome physical contact that caused some participants in the review to feel threatened.

As has been noted by others, the appointment of Payette calls into question both the judgement of Prime Minister Trudeau and the integrity of the vetting process. Let's hope due deliberation is given before choosing Canada's next representative of the Queen.
