In his first cabinet, Stephen Harper appointed a party insider from Quebec as minister of the chief portfolio for pork and sent the guy to the senate so that he can't be questioned in the Commons.
Hmmm.
Given the number of things that Connies said they wouldn't do that they did on Day One in office, can we take any comfort in that little set of circumstances described above?
And in the rest of cabinet:
1. The guy from Newfoundland got fish.
2. All the big economic portfolios went to Ontarians.
3. Social policy portfolios are filled by women, predominantly.
4. The other portfolio with lots of cash - transportation, infrastructure and communities - is sort of a public works 2. That went to a Quebecker as well.
Lemme get this straight: so much has changed under Stephen Harper.
