BC Liberal Dream Team: September 2012

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~ Albert Einstein

So cliched, but can it really go unsaid about the shuffling of the deck chairs on the Titanic? It's the best metaphor, sorry. Don't you just love their spin as "Cabinet Renewal?" It's all so comical. It's like they are all suffering some mass delusion that they have a chance of getting in as a majority again. It's almost sad really, if it weren't for all of the people who've been kicked in the teeth over and over again by the BC Liberal government over the last decade.Oh and those people are us. You know, voters.

It's like a game of political Survivor where people are voting themselves off the island one by one.

Office of the (Ill-fated) Premier: Premier Christy Clark Announces Cabinet Renewal

VICTORIA - Premier Christy Clark today renewed her cabinet with a focus on a strong and growing economy, controlling spending and  making life more affordable for families.
"Our government is delivering for British Columbians. This new cabinet brings a renewed commitment to our priorities," said Premier Clark. "That means staying focused on jobs and fiscal discipline and continuing our efforts to make life more affordable for B.C. families. I have directed each minister to stay focused on these priorities."

The new Cabinet is made up of 16 ministers and two ministers of state, plus the Premier. No new ministries have been added, keeping the size of the Cabinet smaller than pre-2011 levels.
