Payette stands by the throne as she was sworn in at the ceremony held on Parliament Hill this morning.
Our new GG has a fierce sense of fashion. It seems everything she chooses is fierce, just like her career in astronomy, and her flight out to space, albeit as the "the second Canadian woman to have flown in space."
Here she stands at the throne in Parliament Hill at her swearing in, proud and happy, almost looking angelic with her crinkly hair floating across her shoulders. And still, we dare not call her "une" astronaute.
