Carmel Robichaud sent to the bleachers
I’m hearing a lot of lamenting today about not enough female representation in the Liberal Cabinet. Fair enough, but there aren’t that many female MLA’s to choose from nor do I think that someone should be given a golden ticket to Cabinet based on nothing but the fact that they’re a woman, man, black, white, Catholic, Protestant, and the list goes on. That’s ridiculous. Just because you happen to be a certian gender, ethinicity, etc. doesn’t make you a good Minister.
Carmel Robichaud is a prime example. She made 101 people who are screwing up Canada for good reason and frankly she still owes an apology to New Brunswickers for her lax attitude towards penalties for drunk drivers.
Granted, that’s not the reason she got the boot from Cabinet today but we’re all better for her being sent to the backbenches. She wasn’t a good Minister and Shawn Graham knows it or he would have kept her.
It’s rare I’ll root for the NDP but next election hopefully NDP Leader Roger Duguay trounces Robichaud.

The increase of taxes, lack of concern for the middle class, low income, seniors by the Graham government is giving the people of NB more leaning towards the NDP.
In the last federal election, many comments were made in favor of support for the provincial NDP.
