MINISTERIAL INCOMPETENCE ABOUNDS

 What do federal ministers Patty Hajdu, Harjit Sajjan, Bill Blair and Steven Guilbeault have in common? All should be lingering on the back benches earning a grunt’s pay, not taking car and driver to the ministerial buffet.

Everywhere you look, ministerial incompetence abounds: Blair can’t keep the border shut to variants, or make quarantine operational; Guilbeault didn’t appear to know what was in his department’s dangerous internet censorship bill when he trying to defend it (the government has since retreated); Sajjan is lying about what the military ombudsman told him regarding former chief of defence staff Jonathan Vance; and, after 15 months of pandemic hell, Hajdu is showing no mastery of fire, only a propensity to get burned.

If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had any sense, he’d chop them all and bring in reinforcements before they further wound his government. Then again, if the ministers had any sense of accountability or responsibility, they’d have punched their own tickets by now.
