You got it wrong. We sent BC's answer to the question "Are politicians liars" to the UK and all you got was a dedicated lifetime foreign service officer?
Although, I wonder why the Conservatives decided to send Gordo to the UK when it would have been a much more logical choice to make him High Commissionaire to the Comonwealth of Hawaii?
Speaking of High Commissionaire, comming from BC, maybe Harper thought Gordo was the perfect choice.
I thought they got a pinko commie Dipper ex-Premier.
Damn you're right.
The dedicated foreign service officer must be the guy they passed over for the job.

I had checked to be sure I was right. Here's a list of the latest few from Wiki. Only Michael Kergin is a foreign service officer:
Allan Gotlieb - 1981–1989
Derek Burney - 1989–1993
John de Chastelain - 1993–1994
Raymond Chrétien - 1994–2000
Michael Kergin - 2000–2005
Frank McKenna - 2005-2006
Michael Wilson - 2006-2009
Gary Doer - 2009-present
Ambassadorships seem to be political appointments. As they are with the guys they send us.
