On Tuesday Prime Minister Carney is going to unveil his new cabinet. A lot of people will be talking about it's make-up, but from my experience the most important issue is going to be its size. Here's an article from Substack that goes through my reasoning.
What do you think?

I am going to guess it is going to be a smaller cabinet based on Trade, as that is what Carney wants to do, it will not be trade with the US but trade with every other nation.
I also will say that he will want to keep it small so that it can react quicker to whatever BS Trump does.
Trade will certainly be an issue. I've read that between switching to other countries, plus the boycott of American goods, and the reduction of visits to the USA, on a macro level we've managed to avoid some significant financial problems--so far. But that doesn't mean than some individual businesses and work forces aren't hurting already.
Carney also has to tackle the affordability crisis too. That means he has to find a way to build a lot more housing--both market-based and geared to income.
There's also a national-unity problem with Alberta too. More broadly, there has to be some way of dealing with the people out there who conflate their sense of identity with the oil industry.
Also, we have to get a handle on the disinformation flood coming from the non-fediverse social media. It's really damaging to the public good.
So we have lots of problems and I think going back to smaller, more dynamic cabinets could be one part of crafting solutions to these and other problems.
I in no way meant any disrespect to any company who is already hurting, I think you explained part of what I was meaning better than I did and added the housing issue.
Interesting article. I think I know the author from way back in Guelph. Crazy to see his name pop up.
