In shadows

Well, Dion has announced his new shadow cabinet. What do I take from it? It's pretty big...

It seems that everybody got some sort of role. Hard to say too much about who got shafted or celebrated today, since you never know what's planned for the roles. Overall, at least nothing sticks out like a sore thumb. It seems pretty balanced between leadership support, with some key roles (finance with McCallum, environment with McGuinty) going to Iggy people and GK's people featured prominantly all around.

What'll be most interesting is that we'll have to see how well people can learn their roles, especially if we're heading to an election this spring, like everyone seems to think. If some of teh critics need some time to learn their roles, we may not be too excited to head into an election. However, if some of them can learn quick and shine, it'll give us a lot of momentum heading forward. I look forward to hearing these guys and girl perform!
