  1. All certain to lose their riding elections anyway.

    Liberals are going to have scrape the bottom of the barrel to find other candidates. Who would actually want to run for them?

    Sports Minister Carla Qualtrough

    National Revenue Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau

    Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, Filomena Tassi

  3. The Globe and Mail is reporting 4: National Revenue Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Filomena Tassi, minister for the federal economic development agency for Southern Ontario, Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal, and Sport and Physical Activity Minister Carla Qualtrough.

    I’ve never heard of any of these people and except for Bibeau their portfolios look like some of those Trudeau essentially made up in order to reach his arbitrary gender and ethnicity targets for cabinet, so I doubt they’ll be missed. Given we know from former ministers in actual important roles that they almost never spoke 1:1 with Trudeau, he probably asked Katie, “which one was that again?” for at least a couple of them when he saw the names.

    Still, the trickle of caucus members and ministers announcing they’re not running again is starting to become flood. Despite what many of them claim, it’s obvious they’ve concluded that the CPC is going to steamroll them and might as well leave now with dignity rather than wait for ignominious defeat.

  4. That’s a good start, but I’d prefer if it was Trudeau’s wedding party & class buddies. You know, the completely unqualified appointed by their friend to ruin the economy, immigration system, military, etc.
