Cabinet Contenders

The Superbowl may be this Sunday, but it will also be when select Conservative MPs will get the nod to make their way to Rideau Hall to be sworn in as a Cabinet member.

Sports fans may have their fantasy football teams, but I much prefer a fantasy cabinet. I have not been able to assign a portfolio for all my picks, but my guess is they will make the real list in somehow. Here goes:

British Columbia:
Jay Hill (House Leader) - Probably the only job he could handle.
John Cummins (Fish!) - He's high maintenance, but knows his fish!
Stockwell Day (Treasury Board)
NOT Gary Lunn

Alberta:
Rona Ambrose - a smart cookie, could handle a high profile portfolio
Monte Solberg - not finance
Diane Ablonczy (Immigration?)
Jim Prentice (Indian Affairs)
Rahim Jaffer (Infrastructure)
Longshots (due to limited room): James Rajotte, Jason Kenney, Ted Menzies, John Williams, Bob Mills

Saskatchewan:
Carol Skelton
David Anderson - because every government needs a David Anderson.

Manitoba:
Vic Toews (Justice)
Brian Pallister
NOT Steven Fletcher

Ontario:
Tony Clement
John Baird
Rob Nicholson
Bev Oda
Jim Flaherty
Garth Turner
Pat Davidson
Diane Finley
Barry Devolin
Helena Guergis

Quebec:
Josee Verner
Lawrence Cannon
Jean-Pierre Blackburn

Atlantic Canada:
Peter McKay
Loyola Hearn
Rob Moore
