At first glance, her riding of Ottawa-Vanier appears to have neither natural resources or forestry;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Helena Jaczek, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/ontariopc.us15.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=5590a32c9e87c0c5ed0f5fbe0&amp;id=50883f18e1&amp;e=2e316216a4\">unable to answer simple questions<\/a> about where the money was coming from for a massive government announcement, will now take over as chair of the bloated cabinet. Under her watch, the Liberals let massive cost overruns at SAMS become a debacle, which makes this move questionable;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Eleanor McMahon, whose only job at Tourism seemed to be handing out cheques, will now be responsible for controlling the government\u2019s purse strings, and the millions of dollars of partisan self-congratulatory ads they will run leading up to the election;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Indira Naidoo-Harris\u00a0will now not only get to oversee skyrocketing child care costs but get the additional responsibility of picking and choosing which schools her government will close if they cling to power.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Mitzie Hunter, who as Minister of Education <a href=\"https:\/\/ontariopc.us15.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=5590a32c9e87c0c5ed0f5fbe0&amp;id=2a9d7b1206&amp;e=2e316216a4\">didn\u2019t know how many schools<\/a> her government was set to close, will now take over as the Chief Apologist for the longest college strike in Ontario\u2019s history.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Harinder Malhi will take over as Minister of Status of Women. Interestingly, she\u2019s been an <a href=\"https:\/\/ontariopc.us15.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=5590a32c9e87c0c5ed0f5fbe0&amp;id=6a78c61cdd&amp;e=2e316216a4\">opponent of the sex-ed curriculum<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Daiene Vernile\u00a0takes over the reins at Tourism, Culture, and Sport. The former broadcaster spent her career in front of the camera, this will make the plethora of \u201cbuy-your-vote\u201d announcements she is certainly about to start making ready for the airwaves.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Steven Del Duca has been moved away from the impending Carillion scandal. Despite the fact he oversaw the ridiculous contract, he will not have to wear the fall-out of the 6,000 jobs at risk. This certainly will be a relief for him and his Liberal Party leadership ambitions. Yasir Naqvi can\u2019t be quite as excited though.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"null\"><span class=\"mc-toc-title\">Hopefully, Kathryn McGarry, a Waterloo Region MPP, will be more effective at delivering all-day two-way GO to the community.
