Arbour named Canada's next governor general, a bilingual jurist with global stature

Prime Minister Mark Carney named Louise Arbour, a bilingual former Supreme Court justice and former UN human rights commissioner, as Canada’s next governor general, succeeding Mary Simon. Arbour’s international prosecutions—including indicting Slobodan Milošević and securing a genocide conviction in Rwanda—and her UN tenure underpin her decades-long influence on justice. As governor general she will represent the monarch in Canada in a largely ceremonial role, typically for a five-year term.

De Armas delivered her opening monologue in Spanish and later showcased her linguistic skills in a sketch about a high-school Spanish teacher. The episode also featured a fake movie trailer for a depressing American Girl dolls film and a Weekend Update segment on the leak of American intelligence documents. Molly Kearney, the first openly nonbinary cast member, used their desk appearance to comment on anti-transgender bills.
