I can't think of a single argument against David Johnston's appointment. This is an excellent appointment and I must give credit where it's due. Congratulations and best wishes to His Soon-to-Be Excellency and Madame Johnston. His intelligence, grace and good humour are so needed to restore credibility to the office of Governor General.
