The Facts

  • Canadian PM Justin Trudeau on Wednesday changed nearly three-quarters of his cabinet, replacing seven ministers in a move that affected more than a dozen ministers in his Liberal Party.

  • The seven new cabinet members are Jenna Sudds, Rechie Valdez, Ya’ara Saks, Arif Virani, Gary Anandasangaree, Soraya Martinez Ferrada, and Terry Beech.


The Spin

Right narrative

Trudeau's government is long past its expiration date, and this shuffle won’t change its dismal electoral outlook. The government hasn’t addressed the housing or cost of living crises, as incompetent ministers have dragged the party into scandal and controversy time and again. This move was purely cosmetic and won’t have an impact.

Left narrative

These changes show Trudeau and the Liberals are getting serious about righting the ship. Trudeau has shown that he’s not afraid to make changes in order to get the country on the right track. The only poll that matters will be on Election Day, and there’s plenty of time for the Liberals to prove their worth to the voters.
