Same faces. Different day.


So, Rona Ambrose is out as Environment and has been inflicted on the provinces specifically and particularly on western Canada. (I know, that's not news, but there it is.) Here is the latest from CBC:

Ambrose was made the minister of intergovernmental affairs at the morning swearing-in ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. She will also be minister of western economic diversification
I'm sure she will ponder the state of Prince Rupert, unless she continues to take all her direction from the hacks in the Prime Minister's Office which would result in her doing absolutely nothing of value and blaming the previous government for any and all conditions she feels compelled not to address.

Other changes:

Rob Nicholson: from House leader to justice minister and attorney general.
Vic Toews: from justice minister to president of the Treasury Board.
Monte Solberg: from Immigration to Human Resources and Social Development.
Peter Van Loan: from Intergovernmental Affairs to government House leader and minister for democratic reform.
Diane Finley: from Human Resources to Citizenship and Immigration.

John Baird: Environment

and:

Jay Hill is secretary of state and chief government whip.
Jason Kenney
is a member of the Privy Council and secretary of state for multiculturalism and Canadian identity.

Gerry Ritz
is a member of the Privy Council and secretary of state for small business and tourism.

Helena Guergis
is a member of the Privy Council and secretary of state for foreign affairs and international trade and sport.

Christian Paradis
is a member of the Privy Council and secretary of state for agriculture
.
Yawn.... later on today I have a post about vibrating body armour.
