quote:

Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose is stacking her shadow cabinet with a healthy dose of seasoned veterans and a smattering of new faces as the party positions itself as Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition for the first time in a decade.

"I believe the team we have assembled will be the strongest Official Opposition this country has ever seen," Ambrose said in a statement, noting the party's first priority is challenging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "massive tax-and-spend plan."

quote:

The full list, released Friday, includes a few surprises — chief amongst them is Jason Kenney's absence from the front bench. Kenney, who was widely seen as Stephen Harper's most competent minister, will not hold a critic portfolio in the next session of Parliament.

Though the article goes on to speculate that it might just be to give him more time to organize his leadership campaign.

Anyways here's the full list:

quote:

Shadow cabinet members:

Hon. Rona Ambrose (Sturgeon River–Parkland) — Leader of the Official Opposition and Status of Women
Hon. Denis Lebel (Lac-Saint-Jean) — Deputy Leader and Intergovernmental Affairs

Alupa Clarke (Beauport–Limoilou) — Veterans Affairs
Hon. Tony Clement (Parry Sound–Muskoka) — Foreign Affairs
Gérard Deltell (Louis-Saint-Laurent) — Employment, Workforce and Labour
Hon. Ed Fast (Abbotsford) — Environment and Climate Change
Marilyn Gladu (Sarnia–Lambton) — Science
Hon. K. Kellie Leitch (Simcoe–Grey) — Health
Cathy McLeod (Kamloops–Thompson–Cariboo) — Indigenous Affairs
Hon. Rob Nicholson (Niagara Falls) — Justice
Hon. Deepak Obhrai (Calgary Forest Lawn) — International Development
Hon. Erin O'Toole (Durham) — Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
Pierre Paul-Hus (Charlesbourg–Haute-Saint-Charles) — National Defence (associate)
Hon. Pierre Poilievre (Carleton) — Treasury Board and the National Capital Commission
Hon. Lisa Raitt (Milton) — Finance
Scott Reid (Lanark–Frontenac–Kingston) — Democratic Institutions
Hon. Michelle Rempel (Calgary Nose Hill) — Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

If you lose your job and are forced to take lower-paying work, better take those kids back to the dealership because you can't afford them anymore!

Also if you have two jobs at $11 an hour that's equivalent to making $22/hour! Conservatives understand finance!

You shouldn't need to be rich to have kids but it should be mandatory to have an education and be able to pass some basic competency tests.

It's really too bad that you need a license and testing to drive a car, or own a firearm, but people can have as many kids as they want regardless of how well they can raise them.

quote:

The University of Winnipeg has officially given the green light to a new requirement that all students, starting in the next school year, take at least one indigenous studies course in order to graduate.

The university's senate unanimously approved the requirement on Friday, making it the first university in Canada to make it mandatory for students to take a course focused on the rights, traditions, history, governance or other facets of indigenous culture.

quote:

Let the indoctrination begin.

As an individual with a Double Honours in Political Science and History, a Masters in Political Science, and a Law degree, I am incredibly frightened by the awfully bias and 1-sided information that our ultra-left revisionist professors will be, in "teaching" these courses.

quote:

Who pays for the course? I wonder what students will think about loosing time from courses they need to continue on their chosen educational path?

What can one say about this policy without being accused of being all kinds of horrible things.

I'm actually kind of torn on this one. At times, meeting graduation requirements felt hard enough as it was. Adding more prereqs to the pile seems awkward to me. Then again, all universities roll things out slightly differently, so maybe theirs could fit it in somehow.

It's my honest hope that they would've at least let the mandatory credit replace one other. My university had these mandatory "foundations of academic writing" courses that all students had to take, but didn't do much other than to review the basics of English grammar. It was a waste of time, tuition, and textbook money. Many students felt actively insulted by the material for thinking so poorly of them. If my university were to offer native studies as a non-elective, I would hope they'd use it to replace those other godawful courses.

I would imagine that they would create 1st or 2nd year courses to facilitate the indigenous studies distribution requirement that don't gently caress with upper year requirements of degrees that are hard enough to get in as it is (or at least, in some universities).

University of Winnipeg's degree program already stipulates that all majors need 12 credit hours of humanities, so probably this just says that at least four of those must be from a course related to indigenous studies.
