回复: [评论]加拿大新移民部长大帅哥 康尼大热倒炉(组图)
Yet Harper has found room to move top-tier figures to very significant new economic roles. Jason Kenney, who has arguably been the most sure-footed, activist cabinet performer at Citizenship and Immigration, becomes employment and social development minister. James Moore, who cut a wide swath as heritage minister, pushing the government’s patriotism-through-history strategy, gets to add some economic heft to his résumé as industry minister.
Both Kenney and Moore are widely seen as logical leadership aspirants whenever Harper’s run ends, and conventional political wisdom would suggest that being able to point to an economic-policy track record will be an asset in any future leadership bid. For now, though, they should bolster Harper’s ability to send a compelling message on the economy—much-needed reinforcements, considering that Flaherty has been battling a skin disease and Fast is hardly a dynamic communicator.
Peter MacKay, who moves from Defence to Justice, was once seen as a obvious leadership aspirant, too. But his stock fell while he was in Defence, largely because of the F-35 fighter jet procurement fiasco. MacKay’s loyalists will be watching to see if he can restore some lustre in Justice, which some call his dream job. So important, it seems to me, are these new tasks for established senior ministers—Kenney, Moore, MacKay— that their moves alone would qualify this as an unusually substantive shuffle. But there’s much more, and quite a lot of it involves women.
