"...Trudeau has taken a full month since winning re-election to put together his new cabinet, twice as long as he took in 2015....".
And after all that, here's what it boils down to...Jonathan Wilkinson, from BC and previously of Sask NDP is Minister of environment. An environmental extremist wolf in sheep's clothing. Enough said.
I can't see how Catherine McKenna is going to lead the charge for infrastructure - how can anything be built in Canada in her " tax all carbon" world?
A pushover Seamus O'Regan for the Natural Resources file (not sure if an improvement over the last place holder, Sohi).
Navdeep Bains continues to be minister of innovation, science and industry leaving us wondering...what a minister of innovation, science and industry does all day for the next two to four years.
Pablo Rodriguez has also been named political "minister for Quebec" - there is actually a Ministry for Quebec! And he will also be "Chief Corruption Officer" as he is charged with "crucial task of ensuring that government legislation passes with the support of at least one opposition party".
Mona Fortier, who takes on the newly created post of minister of middle-class prosperity. Read that again - "newly created post of minister of middle-class prosperity". Huh?
And for more fans of the "Thought Police", the underwhelming and ever unimplressive Bardish Chagger, previously House leader (and electoral reform pre-meditated naysayer), is the Minister of the newly created post of "diversity, inclusion and youth". (So Justin can deflect his blackface episodes?).
The ever bewildering and confusing Marie-Claude Bibeau somehow continues to be in the cabinet and is somehow Agriculture Minister. Will she be one to go knocking on CN's door during this strike within the next week to end it and let farmers receive some revenue?
Lastly, everyone's favourite Chrystia Freeland is "promoted" in "bridging the divide between the federal Liberal government and irate conservative-led provinces, including Ontario and in the West, as deputy prime minister and minister in charge of a beefed-up intergovernmental affairs department, to be renamed domestic affairs.". Those "insult the leader on their own soil" strategies should work here in Canada.. Looking forward to the fireworks.
