So with the cabinet shuffle today we had the former nurse mcgarry replaced by a high profile lawyer MP from Ottawa vanier now heading the MNRF.....looks like we are in good hands:whacked:...
curious to hear your comments, what do you guys think?

Wynne can shuffle the deck of talking heads all she wants. This won't make a shred of difference. The damage is done.

I agree..but with a lawyer in there will the damage be getting worse?? I hope not..

Wynne knows that she likely will not see another Government formed. Cabinet shuffle beforehand gives an opportunity for back bench MPPs to add the Title "Minister of" to their resume.

Mrs. Derosiers is a career lawyer who has spent much of it on Constitutional Law. She also has found herself in hot water for anti-police statements on Twitter.

My estimation is that by the time she's brought up to speed, she will no longer have charge of the portfolio regardless.

I hope your right bluebulldog

The article states Windbag is shuffling in preparations for the vacancies of members who aren't seeking re-election? I wonder how many are getting ready to bail? Better to get out now instead of being decimated at the polls!

Don't sell the hide yet. Liberals are masters at campaigning. The minimum wage, free prescription drugs, tuition all will buy her votes.
Add in the enormous public sector and thier families, unions ,
I bet the monster wins a minority government.

Yea the more I see from Patrick Brown the less I like. He seems more like a Liberal than a Conservative. There is now a grass roots movement to take back the PC in Ontario.

Cheers

Brown has been a huge disappointment ! IMHO.!
I’m not at all enamoured with him. I wouldn’t bet against this corrupt bunch getting back in !

I think the biggest problem is the lack of a competent alternative. The last guy suggested killing 100 000 government jobs as part of his platform. I hope the new guy, Patrick Brown, knows how to keep his mouth shut. He needs to say nothing and let Wynne's record speak for itself.

I agree. But Wynne will paint him as a cross between Hannibal Lechter and Satan. There are enough dim witted people to get her back in.

I don't know what to make of Brown,either. I'm not overly impressed with "red" Tories at the best of times,but,at this time with so many leftist-liberal Toronto folks moving to the 905 and 705 spreading their infection to the rest of the province,it may necessary and a wise move. Time will tell.

The problem with Ontario is a party has to win Toronto to get a majority and the only way for the PCs to win Toronto is to present a "red" Tory. Toronto voters want everything handed to them wrapped in a nice pretty bow. They don't want to hear terms such as austerity or that Ontario can't afford something. If it were up to the majority of Toronto voters, the streets of Ontario would be paved with gold and the people would drink nothing but Moet and Chandon when they got up in the morning all provided by the government.

The current state of Ontario's political map depresses me to no end. There isn't a leader among any of the elected officals at Queen's Park that I would follow.
