More Dough Morneau's recent demolition of his credibility on tax reform and his reputation for competence and personal financial probity is a cautionary tale for those naive or egotistical enough to take on the 2nd biggest job in cabinet without previous political, parliamentary or cabinet experience.   

Neither PM nor finance minister are management trainee positions and the media and voters are finally starting to notice this.

Demonstrating the same disdain for the media that he shows for parliamentarians during Question Period - albeit not surpassing his boss who set the "gold standard" for contemptuous non-answers when he gave the same non-answer 18 times in a row in one QP session  - only makes things worse for Morneau.

And things are already as bad as they can be with this Sears Canada of finance ministers.

Morneau is not only accountable to the PM's appointee as Ethics Commissioner.   He is also accountable to the people through parliament AND yes through the press as well!
