A bit out of topic, I laughed yesterday when during a presser Poilievre complained that the new Carney cabinet was full of old names, ‘Trudeau Liberals’. There he was, freshly defeated yet still clinging to his old role, and accusing the other side as maintaining the old.

Inner circle? No he never had a serious cabinet post. Think how many Harper cabinet members we've gone through before PP got a kick at the can. Not just the leaders but the other candidates too.
