Canada Viceroyalty?

"At one time, Lord Craven was mentioned as a possible successor to Lord Byng as Governor-General of Canada." It is from his NYT obituary, but was it so? Craven was just an earl with a history of war service, bankruptcy and scandals, and the days when pretty much any lord could've gone out to govern New South Wales had just passed. Fake news or someone's dig at those Britishers, perhaps? Mapple (talk) 06:56, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
