Guillbeault is in a joke position in cabinet. Don't get your undergarments all bunched about it. It's a handout, but ultimately we likely won't need to hear from him at all over the next 4 years.
Freeland is in a position where she could theoretically do harm, but having engaged with her when she was in finance I feel like this portfolio actually suits her more and she will likely be able to succeed in pushing some critical things forward for trade corridors if that is the route the feds are going, as they said.
Fraser is a bit of a strange one. Maybe he's got some big party donors behind him.
Hodgson, I am somewhat interested in this one. Don't know why we didn't hear much about him during the election, but he seems like a 2nd Carney. That is the type of leadership and candidate that the liberals should be holding up and touting. I am encouraged by his helming the NR portfolio. Definitely going to see some mines move forward, I have a feeling he's already talking with Wab.
