Does it really matter though?
If as expected he calls a snap election prior to the resumption of Parliament they won't actually have a chance to do anything.

PM's are very busy people though. He will call one soon enough.

The earliest the election can be held is Monday, April 21, 2025. That's plenty of time to go to Europe and come back to campaign.
"The election or campaign period must be at least 37 days and no more than 51 days, and election day must fall on a Monday, with certain limited exceptions."

I just hope he keeps Freeland out of cabinet, or at least away from anything to do with finance, trade or foreign affairs. We must present a new face to the USA and the world.
Give Freeland Defence if she demands a marquis role - just watch out for knives.

I’d rather give it back to Anand, if she is running again as reported - she had a proven record in that portfolio, and it is one that will take on increasing importance.
I think Freeland might be best as a special envoy to the EU.

My pick would be Anand for Finance too. She's probably the strongest actual bureaucrat in the caucus. And they need that in a critical role.

And they have no time to get MPs to test run cabinet positions - the situation calls for people with experience to hit the ground running.

According to The Star, Freeland is in but Gould is out: https://www.thestar.com/politics/fe...cle_0e97f058-0024-11f0-bc13-bb5f7b61cbb9.html

What about keeping Joly in Foreign Affairs? She seems a lightweight to me.
Matt Gurney: Joly's Halifax humiliation was at least on-brand for her government
Her terrible performance on stage was, if nothing else, consistent with how the Trudeau government approaches every issue: a comms plan instead of an action plan

Justin Ling: For Mélanie Joly’s sake and ours, Canada needs a new foreign minister
Despite obvious political chops, it's becoming increasingly clear she is not up to the task of foreign affairs.

I agree she'd be a good pick; but Champagne is getting that.
