Tossed under the bus, made into the fall-guy by the PM due to the WE Scandal? Jody Wilson-Reybold Part Deux - Electric Boogaloo?

Snap press conference called, underway now

Wow, blood is in the water.

Confirmed - he's gone.

He was a cornerstone to the Liberals. Justin is a dead man walking.

Nah. He was just another Paul Martin-style “Big Business liberal” from the party’s right flank. Good riddance.

The only thing he was good for was keeping his fellow Bay Streeters and the banking crowd onside, now without one of their own in power, look for the austerity hawks to shriek even louder about the need for slash and burn budget cuts and tax breaks for the rich.

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Morneau is the obvious fall guy because he was deepest into the WE scandal. Trudeau can claim poor judgement (yet again!) and probably come away from this relatively clean.

Chrystia Freeland is replacing Bill Morneau.

There is no way to lose your Minister with the most financial experience in the middle of a financial crisis, and come away smelling springtime fresh. Chretien found that out with Paul Martin. Harper found that with Flaherty.

As expected. The most qualified, other than Mark Carney and Carney was off the table.

Yes, a pattern is developing for sure.

Passing the buck is always a sign of good leadership.

[Sunnyways]

They should get rid of everyone else - ministers, MPs, advisers - and just call it the Chrystia Freeland Party.

[DrCaleb]

I'd vote for that.

Likely because she did so well in re-negotiating NAFTA.

She did very well, considering Trump wanted to squash us like a bug.

She didn't let him squash us.
