you had the first black American president greeted by Governor General Michaëlle Jean, Canada's first black governor, who is fluent in five languages

the Governor General is the Queen's representative in Canada and communicates directly with Queen Elizabeth. Before the 1980s this position was only filled by white men but since then three of five Governors General have been female
