Tory PS's: Une certaine... je ne sais quoi...

Ok, let's review.

Ted Menzies, PS for le ministre de La Francophonie et des Langues officielles... who doesn't speak french.

Jim Abbot, PS for Status of Women... who is not... well, it goes without saying.

Deepak Obrai PS to the Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency... who is from Edmonton - not Edmunstun.

Peter Van LoanYork PS to the Minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency who - though his riding does contain some beachfront - is not from Atlantic Canada.

(Note: You'd think with two PS's at least one of them...)

Steven Fletcher: PS to Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario... who is not from Northern Ontario.

Jason Kenney, PS to the PM for Multiculturalism who is not...

Nice.

Update: The New Barrelman picked up Saturday's Ottawa Citizen story... apparently they've shuffled the PS's already.

Peace, order and good government indeed.

Nice post! But didn't you get the memo? We're going to focus on parliamentary secretaries NEXT week. In case you did miss it, the agenda is as follows (but keep it confidential please):

Week One: focus on controversial cabinet minister appointments.

Week Two: focus on controversial parliamentary secretary appointments.

Week Three: focus on controversial caucus statements about Week One and Week Two.

Week Four: focus on homicide investigation after latest Conservative caucus meeting.

Week Five: focus on cabinet appointments by new Liberal government.

Oh but somewhere between weeks four and five we have to ask Sen. Marjorie LeBreton about Airbus, Appointments, Public Works under the old regime, and throw back all of the Manning/Day/Harper quotes used to run people like her out of office in the first place. I don't want to have to wait another 12 years for that...
