Ten prominent Canadians each nominate one individual they think would make a great viceroy.

Canada is getting a new governor general this fall and we want to know who you think should get the job.

Will the next governor general, like the previous two, be a CBC broadcaster? The offspring of a Canadian political legend? The greatest hockey player ever?

The Mark asked 10 prominent Canadians to nominate one individual each who they think would make a great viceroy.

Check out the nominees and tell us who you think most deserves the keys to Rideau Hall.
