Conservatives are ‘stoking anger’, Trudeau says, following massive cabinet makeover
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to paint a clear choice between himself and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in Newfoundland on Thursday one day after the Liberals overhauled their front bench and assigned 23 cabinet ministers new portfolios.
Mr. Trudeau’s cabinet shakeup is taking place at time when the Liberals have been losing ground to Conservatives in a number of public opinion polls and while Liberal insiders say a shakeup was clearly needed just two years shy of the last federal election. When he unveiled his cabinet, the Prime Minister did not say the changes were as a result of internal issues. Instead, the Liberals are promising a greater focus on the economy and housing.
