  • Edward Richard Schreyer PC CC CMM OM CD (born 21 December 1935) is a Canadian politician and statesman who, until 14 May 1984, served as the Governor General of Canada. He was appointed as such by Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, on the recommendation of then Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, to replace Jules Léger as viceroy. The official announcement of the appointment was made on 28 December 1978, and Schreyer's investiture as the 22nd governor general since Confederation took place on 22 January 1979. Schreyer was born and educated in Manitoba prior to being elected to the province's legislative assembly in 1958. He later moved into federal politics, winning a seat in the Canadian House of Commons, but returned to Manitoba in 1969, becoming leader of the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP). The party then won that year's provincial election, and Schreyer was called upon to act as Premier of Manitoba. He was appointed as the Canadian viceroy in early 1979, and was praised for raising the stature of Ukrainian Canadians, though disparaged for his lacklustre vigour in exercising the role of governor general. Decades after being released from the Queen's service, Schreyer again ran for election to the federal legislature; though he ultimately failed to win the seat, he became the first ever person to run for election in Canada after serving as the country's governor. While he served as Manitoba's premier, Schreyer was entitled to the accordant style of The Honourable, the same style he received again upon his appointment into the Queen's Privy Council for Canada on 3 June 1984. However, as a former governor general of Canada, Schreyer is entitled to be styled for life with the superior form of The Right Honourable.

  • Edward Schreyer - kanadyjski polityk i dyplomata, w latach 1969-1977 premier prowincji Manitoba, a następnie od 1979 do 1984 gubernator generalny Kanady. Po ukończeniu studiów w zakresie pedagogiki, ekonomii i stosunków międzynarodowych, podjął pracę jako wykładowca ostatniej z tych nauk na Uniwersytecie Manitoby. W 1958 został wybrany do Zgromadzenia Legislacyjnego (parlamentu prowincjonalnego) tej prowincji. W latach 1965-1969 zasiadał w izbie niższej parlamentu federalnego, Izbie Gmin. W 1969 postanowił wrócić na szczebel polityki regionalnej. Został wybrany na przywódcę prowincjonalnych struktur Nowej Partii Demokratycznej (NDP), następnie poprowadził je do zwycięstwa w wyborach i stanął na czele władz prowincji jako jej premier. Sprawował tę funkcję aż do 1977, kiedy to musiał uznać wyborczą wyższość konserwatystów. W 1979, mając zaledwie 43 lata, został powołany na formalnie najwyższe w państwie stanowisko gubernatora generalnego. W przeciwieństwie do większości swoich poprzedników, którzy opuszczali urząd gubernatora w wieku podeszłym, Schreyer po zakończeniu swojej kadencji wciąż był politykiem w pełni sił. Początkowo zdecydował się na przejście do dyplomacji - w latach 1984-1988 był wysokim komisarzem w Australii, Papui Nowej Gwinei, na Wyspach Salomona i Vanuatu. Później zaangażował się w działalność licznych organizacji pozarządowych. W 1999 ogłosił swój powrót z politycznej emerytury i znów stał się wyrazistą postacią NDP. W 2006 przeszedł do historii jako pierwszy były gubernator generalny, który kandydował do parlamentu. Nie uzyskał jednak mandatu. Obecnie skupia się na pracy akademickiej, będąc kanclerzem uniwersytetu w Brandon.

  • As Schreyer served as governor general prior to the establishment of the Canadian Heraldic Authority, he was not granted a coat of arms until 1988, though this was based on a 1980 design by Bruce W. Beatty. Unlike the arms for subsequent governors general, Schreyer's does not include the ribbon and insignia of the Order of Canada.

dbpprop:symbolism
  • The bison is derived from the shield of the coat of arms of Manitoba, where Schreyer was born and raised, while the moose is inspired by the Coat of arms of Ontario, and the fir tree represents that province's northern forests; Schreyer lived in this province when serving in Ottawa as a member of parliament, and later, as viceroy. The prairie crocus flower on the bison's collar is also found on Manitoba's coat of arms and represents the prairies, as does the wheat sheaf. The polar bear is symbolic of Canada's north, where Schreyer often travelled while he was governor general, and is a place suceptable to environmental changes, which Schreyer sought to minimise. The wavy lines symbolise the Brokenhead River, which flows near Schreyer's home town of Beausejour, as well as the Assiniboine River, which runs through Winnipeg, where Schreyer was located during his premiership of Manitoba; to the left of this division are the symbols of Manitoba (which lies to the west), and to the right are the symbols of Ontario (which lies to the east). The disc bearing a red cross is the emblem of the Anglican Church of Canada, upon which is the royal crown, representing Schreyer's service as the sovereign's representative.
