Well thank God, hey, that Stephen Harper finally stopped the speculation and named a new cabinet. And my goodness, the tough decisions he had to make. I mean there he was, elected in the middle of an unprecedented global economic meltdown, with the promise that he would never increase spending, with the promise that he would never bring us into deficit and what's the very first thing he does? Increase his cabinet by six members.

Stephen Harper now has 38 Cabinet Ministers. In 1993 Chrétien had 23 Cabinet ministers. See, this is why Canadians hate politicians. I mean in light of what is going on in the world right now, there is not a Canadian out there who runs a business, a charity or a household who didn't sit down this month and say, "you know what, I've got to figure out how to cut costs." And then they did. Except for Stephen Harper who said 6 new Tories get a 75,000 dollar a year raise plus limos.

Hey Steven, here's an idea: if you really wanted to make room in cabinet for new people, why didn't you just fire all the old cabinet ministers who were lousy at their jobs? And believe me there's plenty of them. Remember folks, this is the government where when Canadians started dropping dead from eating sandwiches the Minister of Health was unavailable for comment – for five weeks. But don't worry. He got a big promotion.

So who got demoted? I love this. Jim Prentice. Why Jim Prentice? Well because Jim is the guy that all the Tories secretly talk about replacing Stephen Harper some day; because everyone knows Jim is the smartest guy in caucus, and plus people like him. So what did Stephen Harper give to him? Minister of the Environment. Which believe me, with his crowd, in this government, that's the minister of your-career-is-now-dead.

So here we are folks... we elected a man who promised that he would put a firm hand on the tiller. And he certainly has. Except the ship just got fatter and dumber.
