The role of the Governor General

Here's a great example of some of the remarkable work Canada's Governor General is doing. Earlier tonight she led an online chat at the Citizen Voices website she created. Tonight's topic was "What drives you to act?" I can't think of any other examples of a country's head of state doing an online chat with her nation's citizens. Can you? Did I mention that she even has her own blog? She really seems to be making an effort to connect with Canada's young people and to "break down solitudes."

Check out some of the questions she received and the answers she gave. Some inspirational stuff there, and a great example of people talking about what they can do outside of the political sphere to make Canada a better place.
