Already, three of Justing Trudedau’s cabinet ministers have signaled that they will be ending their career with the Liberal Party. Many are already speculating that Marco Mendecino and David Lametti will also be shuffled out of a cabinet position. So who are the untouchables?

All one really has to do to predict which ministers are safe, is to examine the Liberal talking points. Finance minister Chrystia Freeland has long towed the Trudeau idea that massive investment is needed to support the country. This and the fact that ditching your deputy PM is not a good look, pretty much assures her job security.
Add to that, Pierre Poilievre’s public call to have her ousted. Trudeau just won’t be able to pass up the opportunity to snub his nose at the Conservative leader.

It’s also no secret that the Trudeau Liberals are blaming pretty much everything on climate change.
Having gone strong and hard on climate issues, and a vocal supporter of the carbon tax and clean fuel standard, Stephen Guilbeault should also be safe. Add to that the fact that he left to attend a climate conference right in the middle of a cabinet shuffle, pretty much guarantees he will be going nowhere.

Another Liberal hard line has been the war in Ukraine. Melanie Joly is all but a shoe in, for no other reason than wanting to keep a familiar face on the European front.
A change up in foreign affairs would simply not be a good look for NATO as they are already critical of defense spending from the Trudeau regime.

Marco Mendecino on the other hand has had more than his fair share of controversy in the public safety portfolio. Most recently, his bungling of the Paul Bernardo transfer raises serious questions about his ability to maintain a clear path of communication within his own department. There have also been accusations of untruths being spoken regarding what he knew and when. Of course, this is only the latest in a long line of questionable actions. For these reasons, it would likely be a scandal in and of itself if he were to hold on to this ministry.

Ahmad Hussen would be a prime candidate for a shuffle. His housing portfolio is under intense scrutiny as Toronto refugees sleep on the streets, having to be helped by a philanthropic Canadian citizen. His other portfolio, diversity and inclusion, has been better represented by Shamus O’Reagan, an openly gay minister that has spent a lot of time lately in support of the LGBTQI2S+ community.

Anita Annand, who has left soldiers to pay for their own equipment and meals while serving our country, has also decimated military enrollment. Although an argument could be made to keep her in place for the same reasons as Joly, an equal case can be made for shuffling her to a new file, if not out all together.

David Lametti has also had his fair share of scrutiny lately. Repeat offenders continue to cause all manner of lawlessness in the country with Lametti offering no concrete solutions. French language, Quebec based newspaper La Press, has published an article claiming sources are telling them he will be shuffled out of cabinet completely.
So, with no shortage of shuffles or outright oustings to choose from, who are most likely to get a new job and a big raise? Han Dong would be top of my list of guesses. Having had to resign from caucus over a scandal that has yet to be resolved, he is looking to come back to the Liberal fold. Trudeau should not pass up the chance to show solidarity with him, given his reluctance to properly address the foreign interference issue.
Newly elected MP, and former Liberal president, Anna Gainey, should be a no brainer. Trudeau really has little choice but to give this Liberal royalty a high profile position.
I hate to say it, but the loud mouthed Liberal tweeter, Mark Gerretsen just might squeek his way into cabinet(finally). A true loyal mouthpiece, he has been instrumental in spreading both the Liberal narratives, while never shying away from calling out Conservatives at every opportunity. Flying middle fingers in the HOC aside.
In any case, today should be interesting as I suspect we have not seen the end of the “I’m leaving to spend more time with family” announcements from the Liberal bench. The next election, which I doubt will be called anywhere in the next six months as Trudeau tries to repair his broken cabinet, will be filled with a few new faces trying to fill some very familiar shoes.
