Mark Carney isn’t getting much of a honeymoon as a new prime minister.
It’s been a bit of a bumpy ride since Carney swore in his new cabinet just a week ago, which featured some surprising new ministers, as well as some conspicuous absences, such as Nate Erskine-Smith, who pronounced himself disrespected.
Others kicked out of Carney’s pre-election cabinet, such as Bill Blair and Ali Ehsassi, have been less public with any disappointment they may be feeling, but there’s no question that this particular shuffle has given the prime minister’s team a morale issue to handle right off the bat.
