[edit] Appointment

How are Lieutenant-Governmors appointed/nominated in Canada?

[edit] hyphenation

Someone asked on the Canadian Project page whether it should be hyphenated. The answer is yes.--Ibis3 06:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Definitely. -- Derek Ross | Talk 23:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't see why they should be hyphenated. The constitution doesn't hyphenate [1], and only one of the provinces (New Brunswick) does. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

[edit] Capitalization

Although the Canadian Oxford (as noted in reference 1 in the article) suggests lower case for lieutenant governor, I would argue that since current useage (January 22, 2007) by all ten provinces is to capitalize the term, that is what should be used at Wikipedia. I have changed it at the general Lieutenant-Governor site, but not here in light of the apparent controversy this has generated in the past. Discuss. Flyguy649 15:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
