Prime Minister Trudeau stated that his new cabinet was going to “get things done”, citing his cabinets wide variety of representation from all provinces and various ethnic backgrounds.

One of the most shocking ways this will manifest is under the Trudeau tax plan, where the rich will essentially be punished like never before. Trudeau’s new government will have the support of several elected officials of Ukrainian descent, including eleven Liberal members of the Canadian House of Commons.
Personally, I’m happy for Justin Trudeau and his hard-working team from the Liberal Party of Canada at pulling off a majority government. Canada has an opportunity not only to fix its worldwide reputation, but also to highlight the significant technological and ecological advances made by innovative oil producers in recent years. However, Trudeau’s staff has since assured the media they are eliminating this historic two-tier cabinet designation, rectifying this disparity.
Man in Motion Rick Hansen said he was inspired to see people with disabilities included in Trudeau’s first cabinet, along with an equal proportion of women.
It was also initially reported that five of the 15 female ministerial appointments were junior ministers of state given fewer responsibilities and paid $20,000 less than their colleagues.
“I think Bombardier’s got a good, strong argument regarding the business case”, Yussuff said after the prime minister spoke. “I thought that was really symbolic of how much I think he wants to make Canada a better place”, says Paula Hughson, a teacher at Osgoode Township High School.
Such global trade deals arguably have larger implications for national sovereignty and governance than the minutiae of domestic politics that Canadians have been so fixated on. Ahead of the Canadian elections, then-candidate Trudeau called Russian President Vladimir Putin an “irresponsible hooligan”, and stated that Canada would continue with punishing sanctions against Russia.
Perhaps nothing shocked the world about the Harper years more than Canada’s intransigence on climate policy.
Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, doesn’t believe Trudeau’s pulling Canada’s fighter jets from the mission against the Islamic State group will harm relations. And he isn’t the only Canadian overseas about to wrap up: Gordon Campbell, the former B.C. premier who became the high commissioner to the United Kingdom, has been there four years, and Lawrence Cannon, who was one of former prime minister Stephen Harper’s foreign affairs ministers, has represented Canada in Paris for three years. Penny Collenette, who was Chrétien’s director of appointments from 1993 to 1997, just before Downe, says her work made it nearly intolerable to go out.
Justin Trudeau wants to inspire young people to change the world.
Harper’s tough talk on Russia’s annexation of Crimea and intervention in eastern Ukraine, and on China’s disturbing human-rights record won him wide public support.

We should watch Trudeau closely on climate, though. It is the most diverse and representative federal cabinet we have ever had. Two first-time aboriginal Ministers were also given major positions with Vancouver lawyer Jody Wilson-Raybould being given the position of Minister of Justice and Nunavut’s Hunter Tootoo named Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard.
