Representing King Charles III in Canada, serving as the federal representative of the Head of State, the newly appointed Governor General-designate is Louise Arbour, a former human rights lawyer and Supreme Court Justice.

Prime Minister Mark Carney made this announcement on Tuesday, May 5, and stated she will be an exemplary "steward of our tradition of peace, order and good government."

This week on rabble radio, rabble editor Nick Seebruch sits down with parliamentary reporter Karl Nerenberg to discuss what Louise Arbour brings to the role and the history behind the title.
