[Magdalen] Canada's new government

[Molly Wolf]

We have a Sikh Minister of Defence with combat experience is Bosnia and Afghanistan, a female Minister of Justice who is Treaty First Nations, and another minister (can't remember her portfolio) who is a refugee.  Our Minister of Finance actually has a strong background in financial institutions.  The Cabinet, besides being 50 percent women, is visibly and strongly multicultural.

This is going to make the old white guys in business suits spin in their office chairs, on their copies of the Toronto Globe and Mail.

Woohoo!
Molly
