Question

Is a governor general the same as a president or different?

If different, which is higher ranking?

governor general higher than president?

Answer 1

In Canada we have a prime minister and he is the top dog.

The Governor General used to be a go between for the people of Canada and the Queen of England.

Since Canada has cut it's ties with England, I don't really know what the governor general does.

It's probably just another high salaried useless job much like a rubber stamping senator.

A job that's given to some crony for years of faithful toadyism.
