Stephen Harper provided a lot of things with his new Cabinet yesterday, but leadership wasn’t one of them. I like the extra-cynical touch evident in two things: first, picking an unelected — and therefore unquestionable in the House of Commons — Montrealer as Public Works minister, and topping it all with naming a unilingual anglophone as Canadian Heritage minister. I guess there really are more ministerial posts than French-speaking conservatives.
