Question: Who is Canada's first Indigenous Governor General?
Answer options:
- David Johnston ✅ Mary Simon
- Adrienne Clarkson
- Roméo Leblanc
Correct answer: Mary Simon
Explanation: Mary Simon is Canada’s first Indigenous Governor General, appointed in 2021 to represent the King in Canada. This appointment aligns with Canada's constitutional monarchy, where the Governor General acts as the Sovereign’s representative. The other options are incorrect because Adrienne Clarkson was the first Governor General of Asian heritage, Roméo LeBlanc was the first Acadian Governor General, and David Johnston is a non-Indigenous academic who served from 2010 to 2017. For the citizenship exam, candidates must know the roles and notable historical "firsts" of Canada's heads of state and their representatives.
