Sorry to intrude with the facts but Harper had several outstanding cabinet members such as Jim Flaherty, Jim Prentice, Peter MacKay, Chuck Strahl, Stockwell Day, Rona Ambrose, John Baird, Tony Clement, Jason Kenny, James Moore and Lisa Raitt.

Jim Flaherty, for example, was chosen by the European financial press as the outstanding finance minister among the G 7 finance ministers for his outstanding work in making Canada the most solvent and prosperous of the G 7 countries after the Q4 08 and Q1 09 global meltdown and his superb leadership in the finance ministers meetings of G 7 and IMF members.

Most of Trudeau's ministers are either clownish greenhorns chosen to fill arbitrary sex or linguistic or viz min quotas like Monsef and Chagger or burnt out has beens like McCallum and Dion (he was better with The Belmonts).

Trudeau's problem in cabinet shuffling is that if he sticks to a new idea for him which is promotion to cabinet on merit, he will have to fire himself first.
