Multiple ministers being dropped from cabinet in upcoming shuffle, sources say

Multiple ministers are being dropped from federal cabinet in a shuffle expected to take place Wednesday, sources tell CBC News.

Those senior government sources say the shuffle is intended to put the focus on the government’s economic priorities and shore up the cabinet ahead of the next federal election campaign. The government also wants to put key communicators on important files.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called ministers back to Ottawa for meetings on Monday and Tuesday, said sources with knowledge of the shuffle who are not authorized to speak publicly.

Assuming a few relatively sane liberals exist then this may signal Junior’s effort to clean house of dissenters.
