Power Brokers: Cabinet and Vancouver

power brokers: And it came after another Vancouver MP, Jody Wilson-Raybould, had quit the cabinet and was thrown out of caucus in connection with the SNC-Lavalin scandal, according to Georgia Asian. To me, it seemed like Trudeau was merely tossing a scrap to Vancouver residents by giving the digital-government post to Murray. It smacked of a demotion because the prime minister handed her other pre-election cabinet post, president of the treasury board, to Qu bec MP Jean-Yves Duclos. It would merely ensure that there would continue to be two cabinet ministers from Vancouver when the real regional power brokers in cabinet from the West Coast were going to be Delta's Carla Qaualtrough and North Vancouver's Jonathan Wilkinson. That's because Qualtrough is the minister of employment, workforce development and disability inclusion, whereas Wilkinson's portfolio is environment and climate change. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
