Old stock Canadians shocked as guy in turban becomes Minister of Defence

The Pothead unveiled his cabinet today, and the tut-tutting in your finer old stock neighbourhoods could be heard even here on the wrong side of the tracks.

A native woman as Minister of Justice and Attorney General? Get outta here! After the decade of palpable disrespect Canada's native people endured under Harper, I'm guessing this is Trudeau's way of signalling a new attitude in Ottawa.

And get a load of our new Minister of Defence:



No, this ain't Harvit Sajjan's Halloween kit; it's his "I did three tours in Afghanistan" kit. Yes, we've certainly had CF guys as Minister of Defence before, but not a guy with serious time at the pointy end. This is a man whose military career was spent firing off bullets, not memos.

Overall, the think tank here at Falling Downs gives the Pothead's first cabinet a thumbs up. Let's hope they can turn this ship around...
