Will Canadians be "greener" after Cabinet Shuffle?
Prime Minister Harper is shuffling the Federal Cabinet today - it is anticipated that Rona Ambrose will be removed from the Environmental Post - resulting from her failed attempt at an impossible task of selling the Conservative - 2050 Canada can breathe again - plan.
Now that Harper sees the country grasping for some indication that Canada will do something to address greenhouse gases and environmental global commitments - the PM has determined that eliminating toxic smoke (and mirrors) emitting from Ambrose - fuelled by his own policy objectives - is the way to go.
Will there be changes to Finance? Good question - the investment community is still reeling over the sudden elimination of Income trusts - despite the commitment by the PM that he would not do so. We will discuss the merits of that decision in another post but it remains a broken promise and for pensioners and average Canadians (Harper's self-professed constituency) that believed the Conservatives - it remains a very sore point. What about equalization?
Will the PM move Chuck Strahl from Agriculture? Perhaps - after the Wheat Board fiasco and under the premise that Strahl himself wanted a change.
Then there's David Emerson and whether or not he has served his purpose of directing the softwood lumber deal through Parliament.
What about Foreign Affairs and Defense? Have Peter MacKay and Gordon O' Connor worked their way out of these portfolios - as Canadians question Afghanistan and our place at the Global Table?
Let us know what you think of the changes and whether this is the face of an election team.
