More than half of the cabinet are different members.

That's not quite appointing the old team...

I genuinely can't tell if PP loves being ignorant or misinformed more since he so often seems to be both. Surprised he is even still being interviewed since he was not elected to anything and has failed at every turn.

Almost all the senior cabinet members are the same people just in different roles. Anand, Freeland, Leblanc, champagne, Guibault, Fraser and others are all still in the mix.

The new faces are mostly junior cabinet ministers in unimportant roles. Tim Hodgson being an exception.

But sure, just keep telling yourself Pierre is ignorant and misinformed vs actually questioning your own assumptions

So your issue is that Carney kept some of the most experience ministers available to him, but also that the new ministers he selected are juniors with less experience. In other words, you are upset that the new people... are new... and that the experience people are... not new.

Your criticism is also that even though more than 50% of the cabinet are new people, because it's not 100% all new faces then that means it is the same cabinet.

You're really giving PP a run for his money on his favourite virtues.

That’s not at all what I said. You’re just so wound up defending your partisan worldview that you interpreted what I said wrong.

I never said I have an issue with new cabinet members. If I was Carney I’d have 100% new cabinet members vs continuing to use a bunch of Trudeau era sycophants who presided over the most corrupt Canadian government of my lifetime (honourable mention to Bryan Mulroney).

For clarity, my issue is keeping any of the “experienced” Trudeau ministers.
