I genuinely thought he’d keep her in a “get things done but don’t communicate much” role, so this is definitely a big one.

I wonder if Carney responds to Trump’s public blasting of Freeland by making her the next Ambassador to the US just to maximally irritate Trump.

My hopeful upstarts for Cabinet:
Rechie Valdez – I think she has good potential as an upstart, and for Carney to have put her on Whip before the election bodes well for her.
Bruce Fanjoy – A fan favouite here in in Ottawa. Definitely deserves a junior post for his dedication and hard work, and as well recognition of his role in unseating PP.

I would have thought that if Freeland was going to be out of cabinet she wouldn’t have run again. She’s not exactly backbencher type. It seems like she’ll be appointed to some kind of ambassadorship, and I guess her seat is safe, but it seems kind of redundant. I don’t believe the relationship between Carney/Freeland is that bad, so you would have though they would have talked about this beforehand.

That was very predictable, it’s actually quite comical how clueless people are about Carney , even the ones that voted for him .
You do not make it to the positions Carney did by allowing emotions to rule your decisions .
Carney believes in socail value as a tool , he’s looking to tap into support from Canadians , keeping freeland around would of been a stiff arm to many .

Wow, that’s a big one honestly.
Turfing Freeland is a statement. If he turfs Guilbeault and a few other cabinet laggards this will be hard to argue that its a continuation of the Trudeau government.

She’s been promised something – maybe an ambassadorship – she’s not going to stick around and do constituency work that’s for sure (she’s never done much in her riding — she’s not about to start now)

I guess this is prudent but I am a little sad.
She is a very effective administrator.
Look no further than trumps hateful words towards her negotiating other the Americans to know that’s because he knew she got the better of him.

I was afraid progressives would be shuffled out. So, how’s the record of the mayor of one of the most expensive and NIMBY cities in Canada?

I was listening to AM radio (I don’t know how I ended up listening to it) after the election. The host was talking to a voter that seemed skeptical of Carney and whether credible change was coming. He said that the credibility is squarely tied to what the next cabinet would look like. The shuffling and downsizing of the cabinet seems to follow this point directly. I think many do not believe that having a new leader at the top of a cabinet made up of the same faces as credible change. This needed to go to all the top echelon of the caucus.
As for Freeland, I’m sure that she will be fine. Even if she took the next parliament to clean up her image and sit on committees, I’m sure she’ll end up coming back around to a cabinet position further down the road.

I don’t know how they can assume Nathalie provost, considering she’s a lobbyist, straight to cabinet? Maybe this will be r/agedlikemilk but I don’t think so.
