Federal Cabinet Shuffle Valueless, Says Provencher MP

By Dan Guetre

The recent cabinet shuffle by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won’t lead to more confidence from voters according to Provencher MP Ted Falk.

Falk believes the move is a “desperate attempt to restore faith in his failed government.”

“While I offer my sincere congratulations to my Liberal colleagues who were entrusted with cabinet positions, particularly the new cabinet members, let’s see this for what it was,” said Falk in a statement.

“[The] moves were akin to shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. Shifting the furniture on deck does nothing if one does not drastically change course to avoid the disaster ahead, something this Prime Minster shows no signs of doing.”

Falk, not one to miss an opportu- nity to criticize the federal Liberals and speak to residents of the conservative leaning riding, focused what he believes are foundational errors the shuffle does not address.

“Shifting many of the same tired faces who have overseen eight years of failure, fear, and inflationary policies out of portfolios where they failed Canadians to new portfolios does little to comfort Canadians who can’t afford to buy groceries or heat their homes—that is assuming they are among the rapidly shrinking percentage of Canadians who can afford one,” he noted. “Nor does promoting a new crop of cabinet rookies who have thus far towed the line and will continue to cede total control to this out of touch Prime Minster.” His suggested solution did not mince words.

“Let’s be honest, the Minister that needs to be shuffled out is Justin Trudeau,” he stressed. “Canadians don’t just need a new cabinet; they need a new government.”
