what do you think of Trudeau's cabinet shuffle?
They seem like good moves overall.
Maryam Monsef was a mess on the electoral reform file. I hope she does better in the status of women ministry. Dion was also getting into hot water over the Saudi Arabia arms sales and a few other diplomatic matters.
I’m also not confident that Dion would have done well in dealing with Trump’s presidency, so switching to Chrystia Freeland is probably a good move. She’s also a fierce critic of Russia, which should be interesting in dealing with Trump’s USA and Putin’s Russia in the near future.
The Immigration Minister is a former refugee now, which should lend some perspective and crediblity to that job. The former Minister was also getting into some bad press over massively slowing down processing for privately sponsored refugees, so perhaps that may change with a new person in charge.
I don’t know too much about the new labour or Democratic Reform ministers, so I guess we’ll see how they do.
