what a croc-of-shit

"Harper 39 member cabinet tied with Mulroney's as biggest in Cdn history."

I thought we were in a "fragile" recovery and need to "tighten the belts", as Harper liked to say during the campaign and he comes back with this... Harper used to rail against the Liberals for large cabinets, now he has the 2nd largest ever, biggest hypocrite ever, his track record continues.

Good to see Bev "just say no" Oda back in a ministerial position. But shouldn't her title be Minister of International Co-operation and all Government Forgeries?

Redundant?

James Moore, Canadian Heritage

Really? I know the U.S. has a Secretary of the Smithsonian, but it's not a cabinet position.

Keith Ashfield, Fisheries and Oceans
Peter Kent, Environment

Redundant?

Bal Gosal, Minister of State for Sport

Why?

Don't worry, he'll pay for their salaries by scrapping the gun registry (a couple of million) and cancelling party subsidies (another 30 million).

Too bad it won't be enough to pay for his mega-prisons, corporate tax cuts or the F-35s.
