Operation Transition

Congratulations to the Conservative transition team on a job well done. Canadians have successfully transitioned from bitching about a Liberal government to a Conservative one. I never really quite realized how much we love to complain about their federal government until now. Yowsers!

I am very impressed with Prime Minister Harper's Cabinet selections. David Emerson would have been a wasted talent in Opposition. Appointing Michael Fortier to the Senate was a very brave move, but a smart one nonetheless. Critics shocked at the apparent hypocrisy will eventually quit hyperventilating - if they haven't already.

My only complaint and grave concern is with the appointment of Gary Lunn. This is a huge mistake. Without going into the details, the PMO had better put their best Chief of Staff into his office. I just hope the lesson they learn from this error in judgement will not be too hard to take.
