„Warum sollte ich ein brennendes Gebäude betreten?“ Einige Liberale sagen, eine Chance auf Trudeaus Kabinett sei es nicht wert

“Even before Freeland’s departure, Trudeau was facing the need to swap out at least five cabinet ministers who have declared they are not running again, including Housing Minister Sean Fraser, who made his decision public on Monday, the same day Freeland announced she was quitting in a scathing resignation letter posted to the social media platform X.”

“A second Liberal MP, who was not approached and also spoke on the condition of background, said the events of the past week would have led them to refuse anyhow.”

“A third Liberal MP, also speaking on background, defended the idea of a cabinet shuffle this late in the year, arguing some ministers have too many portfolios and have been stretched too thin. B.C MP Ken Hardie added: “The names rumoured to be named to cabinet are quality people.””

“The timing of the shuffle also lands on the last day before staffers and officials break for the holidays, with the Prime Minister’s Office warning them to keep quiet after a week of widespread confusion.”

Most Canadians think the building has already burnt. Nobody wants to take a seat in the charred ruins.
