Many partisan Canadians, including Stephen Harper, think that they can influence the institution of the Governor General through various means of petitioning the Governor General. Insight into the Governor General’s attitude to such an arm-twisting exercise, is provided by the nomination form for the Order of Canada, which is administered by the Governor General, which reads:
“Note: Please do not initiate a letter-writing campaign to support this nomination. Doing so will not influence the outcome.”
