The integrity of the role falls apart if the governor general is perceived to be of one camp or another. For that reason, some will argue that the Governor General should never weigh in on topics that are even remotely political. We don't want a government that is a fan of or "proud" of the Governor General; we want a Government that is essentially indifferent to the Governor General. What's more, Canada has health, science and environment ministries that challenge climate change deniers and pseudoscientific medicine every single day. In what universe is it appropriate for Canada's Governor General to do that?
