Overview

Earthy, one-hit-wonder disco queen Regina Gallant is recommended for appointment as Governor General by a conniving PM anticipating she will become a national embarrassment, allowing him to move ahead in eliminating the position, along with the Canadian Monarchy. Regina is brash and loud and highly unsuitable for a formal position, but has a charming common touch. In each episode, she becomes embroiled in a scandal of some kind, usually not of her making, only to have things resolve in her favour by the end.
