As to the appointment of the GG - Harper did it right and Trudeau did it wrong (the first time).
The best GG is someone kind of scholarly, but not overly so, who enjoys the almost endless ceremonial aspect of the job but is canny enough to get why the institution exists and why it must be used properly.
Paquette really did think she was some kind of god-king - inserting her own takes on policy into speeches, going off script on diplomatic missions etc…
