If we're judging our cabinet by their ability to do damage or not, what the hell are we doing as a country. How is that any different than Trumpers saying "don't worry, they can't actually do anything that bad"

Again, if your defence of the cabinet is that certain members can't do much damage and that the Conservatives would have been worse anyways, that's a pretty terrible argument. I'm not trying to argue that the Conservatives should have won. They shouldn't have - they ran an atrocious campaign with an awful leader that can't seem to grasp what Canadians actually want. That doesn't mean I can't criticize the cabinet choices of this government.
I seem to remember a lot of people on this board (rightfully) chastising the Conservatives for not having an actual platform and instead just talking about how bad the Trudeau Liberals were. Well, pot, meet kettle.
