Guilbeault's portfolio will have no impact on us. You can breathe easy and just forget about that boogeyman under your bed.
Freeland, though I agree inadequate in the role of Finance Minister, has been focused on interprovincial trade and corridors for a while. She was taking meetings on this while she was finance minister. She has some reasonable knowledge built up about shipping corridors for LNG, Ammonia, and critical minerals. Out of all choices, she is actually fairly good for this one in the sense that she should be able to hit the ground running with actual policy change if Carney's stated direction during the campaign holds true. Give her a bit of time here.
Fraser, this one i do agree with. A bit bizarre overall. I personally don't have the same concern about the justice system that some do though, so again for me this doesn't rate as that important or worrisome. Just kind of a thing.
Hodgson looks like he could be a great pick, and I am definitely willing to wait for judgement on this one. If this guy had run blue he would be the most qualified minister and would be a candidate for leadership imo... let's not be hasty on passing judgement until we see what he does.
The new minister of environment and climate change is a bit of an enigma box: Julie Dabrusin
She's run in a fairly centrist riding. A lawyer with history in fighting corruption and procurement practices... No real history on environmental files that I can pick out prior to being the secretary under Duguid. She's going to be interesting. Seems like she could be a sleeper minister, someone put in as a reward but unlikely to drive policy herself and more likely to take marching orders on what direction should be from leadership. That could be promising. Definitely doesn't seem like an eco warrior and no where close to the history of Guilbeault, or even Wilkinson with his hydrogen company.
