Out with the Old, In with the... same ol' shit

Prime Minister Harper just announced his new cabinet shuffle, and all the talk is centred around the booting of inexperienced Environmental Minister Ambrose from her embattled post. I suppose this means that all of us who smirked and cursed at the Conservative's Environmental Act can now breath a sigh of relief.

Fat chance. Ambrose was just doing the bidding of her boss -- or at the very least, her misguided plans had been approved before unveiling by the High Commander himself. I've heard that Harper's pretty heavy-handed in his dealings and doesn't give his ministers a lot of leash, so you have to know that he was balls-deep into the Environmental Act. A total miscalculation on his part. A cabinet shuffle is suppose to disuade the public into thinking that changes will be made without actually changing anything. I'm not buying it.
