First, the good news

Tories won't have Deputy PM, sources say (Globe)

Excellent news, for all the reasons I stated.

ONE LAST PLUG: Much of the job of Finance minister, especially in this Parliament, is going to be dealing with the provinces, notably in the matter of the mythical beast known as the "fiscal imbalance," and much of that work is going to be about ratcheting down the expectations Tory rhetoric did so much to raise -- notably in the province of Quebec. Well then. Who better for that job than a Quebecer? A Quebecer, say, who used to work for the provincial Finance ministry. Any members of Harper's caucus who fit that description? One in particular, perhaps?
