Johnston.

Give me a break. So what if the guy is Trudeau's friend. So what if Harper got him the job of Governor General. Really, do either of those things diminish his potential and likely level of impartiality? Not a chance.

This isn't  a thing to play political games with. Anyone who expects Johnston not to do the job with tenacity, rigour, dedication, thoroughness and impartiality is simply playing politics, for politics sake. Period.

And not only that. Johnston won't be holding or faking any punches. If the goods are there, they will be found with the chips falling as they may.

Johnston is a full speed ahead type of guy and damned the torpedoes. Some people, in some quarters, may come to regret the report when it comes out. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, rest assured it will ultimately be labeled as a duck. Of that, I have not a shred of doubt. That's quite simply, Johnston at work, the Johnston way.
