Christy Clark is our Premier (shudder) and her new cabinet is ready to lead to the province to... well, they say prosperity. Let's see how the cabinet posts play out:
Government House Leader - Rich Coleman
Deputy Government House Leader - Terry Lake
Minister of Aboriginal Relations & Reconciliation - Mary Polak
Minister of Advance Education - Naomi Yamamoto
Minister of Agriculture - Don McRae
Minister of Children & Family Development - Mary McNeil
Minister of Community, Sport & Cultural Development - Ida Chong
Minister of Energy & Mines - Rich Coleman
Minister of Environment - Terry Lake
Minister of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations - Steve Thomson
Minister of Health - Mike de Jong
Minister of Jobs, Tourism & Innovation - Pat Bell
Minister of Labour, Citizens' Services & Open Government - Stephanie Cadieux
Minister of Public Safety & Solicitor-General - Shirley Bond
Minister of Social Development - Harry Bloy
Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure - Blair Lekstrom
Where to begin? Oh, I know! Colin Hansen is now completely out of cabinet! Hooray! But wait there's more! Margaret MacDiarmid the Education Minister who so refused to hand over cash for a new high school on the WestShore, leadership candidate Moira Stilwell and open mouth, insert foot member Kevin Krueger was also left without a flashy new title. One of the only newcomers meanwhile is Harry Bloy (how convenient seeing as he was the only MLA to endorse Christy).
Clark's cabinet is also smaller than Campbell's. I'm not opposed to this, as this is a reduction of five members since Campbell's most recent "reshuffling" of the Executive Council back in October. My issue with all of this is the fact that the same clowns sitting at Campbell's Executive Council simply having a different title and are now sitting at Clark's Executive Council. Yet what's the media response to all of this? Applause and respect. Let's face the facts ladies and gentlemen: not a whole lot has changed, not the people, not the vision, not the leadership.
