Why worry about them. It's American politics. Why not look at all of our ministers and there qualifications. Trudeau shuffles them because they're incompetent for the most part in there fields. Ex professors are not good for much. Ex activists are not good for much.   We have new picks for 2017. I'd expect another shuffle later in the year or early next year as he will once again bring people on who are useless in that field. I could only see 3-4 out of 30 who actually worked in the field they were designated to. Jane philpott and the defense minister to name a couple.
