	Encyclopedia: Governor General of Canada
		The Governor General of Canada (French: Gouverneur gÃ©nÃ©ral or Gouverneure gÃ©nÃ©rale) is the representative of the Canadian monarch.
		The Governor General acts as the Queen's viceregal representative in Canada and is often viewed as the de facto head of state.
		This arrangement continued after the establishment of the Dominion of Canada in 1867; the Governor General and Lieutenant Governors remained symbolic representatives of the Crown and of the British Government, while actual political power was vested in the Prime Minister of Canada and in the premiers, at the federal and provincial levels respectively.

		One person pointed out that the title of the talk was the 'Former Colonial World' and asked whether in view of the Grenada intervention, we could not reasonably speak of the existing colonial world.
		And, hopefully, with the passage of time, the divisions that erupted in Grenada and in the rest of the Caribbean have been reduced.
		It is beyond conjecture that most Grenadians saw the intervention as a kind of liberation; a shoot on sight curfew was brought to an end, and government selection by elections was shortly restored.

		The terms and conditions of service of Governor Generals provide for payment of a tax-free salary, for a fully-serviced official residence, and for official vehicles of which there are two.
		The Governor General is however responsible for his/her own living expenses : the food he/she eats, the clothes he/she wears, his/her medical expenses, insurance coverage – medical or otherwise, private entertainment and contributions and donations to deserving causes.
		While there was an increase in the Governor General’s salary upon her appointment, a review of the salaries paid to Governor Generals across the CARICOM region would determine whether the current salary level in Saint Lucia could be considered “outrageous”.

		Grenada is two-thirds Catholic, and the faith has left a deep imprint on the island's history and culture ever since Columbus discovered it on the Feast of the Assumption, 1498, naming it "Concepción" in honour of the Immaculate Mother.
		Grenada was and is a society strongly influenced by the Christian Churches, and permeated by what its Marxist rulers described ruefully (in secret) as a "petit bourgeois" mentality.
		Grenada's membership in the Socialist International was also a ploy used by the Bishop regime to allay Western fears, while at the same time helping to push the S.I. as far to the left as possible.

	Caribbean Book Reviews
		Grenada was a household name between March 1979, when the first and only successful coup d'etat in the English-speaking Caribbean occurred on its soil, and October 1983, when its prime minister was assassinated and the U.S. invaded or intervened.
		Grenada, the Caribbean and Latin America were much on President Reagan's mind when he assumed office and of the five essential pieces of legislation he wanted Congress to enact during his first term in office his Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) was the centerpiece.
		Some genuinely felt that Grenada was in the communist camp and did everything to bring down the Bishop regime; some who were in positions as consultants to the U.S. State Department and various U.S. intelligence agencies deliberately gave the U.S. false information for their selfish political ambitions.

		The PRG left the governor general in place throughout the revolutionary period, understanding his value as a symbol of stability and continuity, and treated him with due respect (though his requests for maintenance funding were politely refused, and Scoon was particularly peeved at the demolition of the governor general’s “bathhouse” on Grand Anse Beach).
		But otherwise, once he had figured out how a governor general could legitimately operate in the middle of a revolution, Scoon seems to have kept his head down during the revolutionary years, maintaining his compromised dignity and hoping not to offend anyone.
		Scoon does not explain why the deal offered by “General” Hudson Austin (a civilian prime minister, relaxation of the curfew, a commission of enquiry, the safety of American medical school students — one of the reasons given by Washington for the intervention) was not relayed to those preparing a military response.
