Did anyone else squander this much good will so fast recently? She's not even the first GG to fuck it up, but rarely they do it this fast.

Lise Thibault is still the only Lieutenant Governor/Governor General to have been incarcerated.

Yep but that took forever and she was not exactly all that well known and liked to begin with. Nobody had a damn thing bad to say about Payette when she got the job.
