Consul-General at Ottawa sparks debate over qualifications
The appointment of Colonel Lay, husband of Vice-President Morton's wife's sister, as consul-general at Ottawa triggers sharp commentary. Critics say the post demands diplomatic training due to Ottawa's closeness to Canadian authorities, fisheries, Behring Sea, rail relations, and情報 gathering.
