Is the Senate Building in Ottawa inserted as a red herring, to throw us off the scent? Or what?

Calling all non-Canadians. This Canadian has thrown in the towel on this one!

Not a red herring, though I am sure the Senate building, not unlike our own downunder, is populated by all kinds of marine life - 😀

It is in this building where this person became, on the 26th July, a significant personage in Canadian Political life. Not a horse but a bit of a GG from what I can tell.

😀

Mary Jeannie May Simon, the new
Governor General of Canada



I only got this with @blubarb ’s generous clues 👍

An ashamed Canadian should have been able to figure that one!

When talking with a personal friend of hers, he asked her give a précis of her past accomplishments. Her answer? I’m just Mary! Quite a change from the egotistical hag we had! Astronaut? My a$$!

I’m not gonna comment on Canadian politics, but it seems her time in office wasn’t without controversy. The first Governor General to resign under scandalous circumstances, no less…

I think our former GG’s place is in outer space, permanently!

The “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” wasn’t tough. Nor was Charlie Brown. But Kiki Dee? That was the colour of another horse! But I finally have an app that helps me search images of people.

I thought about using a picture of Sandra Dee, but that would have been an easier giveaway

If you’re gonna be bringing out the big guns, then I’m making my submissions tougher 😉

Maybe I shouldn’t have told you that! 😀 The only thing the app helped with was the name of the girl in the clues. But had I Googled “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee”, I likely would have answered you rebus, anyway. But a good rebus. (Any rebus I can decipher is a good one.😁 )
