    I understood those had been folded in to other ministries. It’s a lose-lose situation. He had to show he’s different from JT. And it’s a temporary cabinet as we’re going into an election anyway.

      Therefore cut the ministry of labour??

      And it’s a temporary cabinet as we’re going into an election anyway.

      So why make any changes whatsoever, if they’re not intended to be long term?

        It’s not cut FFS. It’s been folded in to another ministry temporarily. We’re going into an election imminently. This is a very temporary cabinet. When the next election results are known there will be another new cabinet and new ministers again.

          I’m using the language of both the post, and the article itself. Both say that the ministries have been cut.

          It’s been folded in to another ministry temporarily

          Where do you see this? Nowhere in the article could I find this.

          This is a very temporary cabinet.

          So why make any changes to the structures at all?

          When the next election results are known there will be another new cabinet and new ministers again.

          How do you know this? Why do a sample run of changing cabinet, when this has real impacts?

            The Ministry of Labour still exists - it is in the portfolio of the Minister of Jobs and Families which is responsible for Employment and Social Development Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_and_Social_Development_Canada

            Carney had to make some changes to demonstrate he’s not JT. But also Carney reduced the size of cabinet for a more wartime stance given the tarriff war we’re in. Also to perform austerity (less ministers to pay extra) while not actually doing austerity (they are responsible for more). All of this knowing we will likely be going into an election very soon. Each time there’s a federal election new cabinet ministers are named. They change up cabinet minsters every so often as well. Whether there’s an election or not. It’s nothing new or unusual.

              Yes, I can get the sense for this, so I agree.

              reduced the size of cabinet for a more wartime stance given the tarriff war we’re in. Also to perform austerity (less ministers to pay extra) while not actually doing austerity (they are responsible for more)

              That’s actually pretty smart. The PMO should broadcast this point more.
