sic because the proper plural is Lieutenants-Governor, which should at least be a disambig (OK, OK, I'll make it...). But also because prior to 1871 the office of Lieutenant-Governor DID exist, and like the post senior to it (Governor) it was a very different office from that of Lieutenant-Governor post-1871. As red links on this or that page indicate there will be a separate article for the Crown Colony of British Columbia separate from that of the Canadian province of British Columbia, and to go along with that the Governors listing on this page currently necessarily should be a Governors of the Crown Colony of British Columbia/Colony of Vancouver('s) Island (not disambig possibility in parentheses), and the Lieutenant-Governors should be listed separately as well as having their own mini-disambig link within the Lieutenant-Governor page (which for the life of me I don't know why it resolves to Governor-General before making the jump to Lieutenant-Governor); the most notable L-G of colonial times was Trutch (under, um, Seymour I think; maybe Douglas pre-1862), who also was an L-G after BC joined Canada; but the two jobs were very different (he also had been Gov-Gen of the Falkland Islands before coming here). No colonial gubernatorial job bears any resemblance to the constitutional viceroys. Skookum1 07:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
I have now created an article Colony of Vancouver Island. Fishhead64 06:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
On what basis do you say the proper plural is "Lieutenants-Governor"? Unlike an attorney-general, where "general" is clearly an adjective pertaining to "attorney", in the case of "Lieutenant Governor", it is clear that "lieutenant" is an adjective pertaining to "governor," so the proper plural is "lieutenant governors." john k 07:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
From my understanding it is like Governors General in that the main noun is Governor. The Governor General is a governor. The Lieutenant Governor is also a governor. So it's Governors General but Lieutenant Governors. [1] - TheMightyQuill 04:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Colonial Governors should not be on this page. There was a colonial title, Lieutenant-Governor, for one thing but also the role of an L-G is very different from that of a Governor. Fielding this for discussion but I may make the change/split in a few days; there could also be a page of Colonial Lieutenants-Governor.....Or Lieutenant-Governors, if modern convention must apply (sounds strange to me....); Colonial L-Gs were kind of like Deputy Premiers now.... Skookum1 04:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
True, there aren't that many of them; only Blanshard, Douglas, Seymour and Kennedy for the Island, only Douglas, Seymour and ... ? Kennedy? for the Mainland to 1866; then it's only Musgrave. I think Trutch was also the only L-G for the Mainland Colony, not sure just now who had the job on the island - Dallas? Skookum1 05:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
On the first issue, FWIW, I've never heard "Lieutenants-Governor" used, and I was raised on the Oak Bay-Saanich border which is almost as tweedy as you can get. As to the other issue, I agree that colonial governors should be listed here, but a dab link to a new article List of colonial governors of Vancouver Island and British Columbia with a short introductory blurb could appear at the beginning of this article. Someone with more time than me could be bold perhaps? Fishhead64 21:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
While we're on the subject of L-Gs (and granted we never did abbreviate it Ls-G did we?), just wanted to comment that this list page is just that; but the role of the L-G in BC politics is often very complicated, and not entirely figurehead stuff; this was especially true in the pre-party period, but I can think of instances where Bob Rogers, David Lam and Iona Campagnolo (and maybe other recent ones, like Gardom) were all called upon to use their powers; or deftly not use their powers; but whether it's McInnes or Lotbiniere or others, it's definitely not a conventional viceregal history; I haven't noticed but I suppose there is a separate non-list page for the position and its history; and part of that history is the number of occasions where "the dealer had to play the hand" because of either political statemate, or political impropriety (or in McInnes' case, his own political improprieties...). Skookum1 18:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Is it lieutenant governor or Lieutenant Governor? Whichever, the title of the article should match the capitalization being used in the article. Corvus cornix talk 06:39, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Lieutenant governor of Georgia which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 21:17, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm surprised that David Lam and Garde Gardom don't have pics on here; are there none on their articles? Same with George Pearkes. Skookum1 ( talk) 04:15, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
