Sad but true - labour at the bottom of the heap
When Stephen Harper shuffled his cabinet today, Lisa Raitt went to labour from the natural resources ministry. The move is regarded as a demotion, which is an accurate perception in the federal cabinet. Is it any wonder working people are behind the eight ball in Canada?
In a similar vein, when Dalton McGuinty shuffled his provincial cabinet Monday, aboriginal affairs went from being a separate portfolio to an extra responsibility for Attorney General Chris Bentley. Guess all the simmering problems with the province have been solved.
In the case of Abo-Affairs, it is likely a temporary situation while waiting for the results of the by-election, at which point Glen will pick up that portfolio.
