He get's the joke. There have been many calling for him to be appointed our next Governor General. It's a position in our government that is a ceremonial carry over from our Colonial times when we needed our laws approved by the King or Queen of England before they became law. Today the Governor General represents the Crown.
It's traditional, prestigious and totally for show. Usually someone political or a woman or immigrant who has distinguished themselves in service to Canada get the job. Its a schmooze post. Shatner would be awesome at it. His fame worldwide would make is a very popular choice among most Canadians under 50 and would make the old people lose their shit - so of course I am all for it. There is nothing he could fuck up unless he said something stupid and we would all say - "Oh that's just Bill."
In a perfect world.

Hah! That WOULD be awesome, wouldn't it?
It would not only be awesome, it is vital that Shatner be G.G. What if aliens decide to invade? They'll think twice about invading Canada if they know Captain Kirk is in charge here.
Same with crime. Once criminals know that T.J. Hooker is the head honcho crime rates will drop, I'm telling you.
I love when he was on SNL and did the TJ Hooker skit. Basically he stayed on the hood of the criminal's car for days and kept calling in updates.
And really. It's a bullshit position. A poodle could do it. Give Bill his shot. This man was Denny Crane...DENNY CRANE.
You know which side of the issue I am on.
