Paul elliot Chretien's new/old cabinet left quite a few Liberal noses out of joint for example the betrayal of Maurizio Bevilaqua a longtime martin loyalist and organizer who was offered a demotion that he considered a slap in the face, and refused to accept.
There are many more such cases which will no doubt soon become public. Gone are the days where the Liberals can conceal the blood on the floor, try as they may.
Nick Discepola, Jim Karygiannis and others were frozen out of cabinet while people like Bill Graham and John McCallum were kept.
Now that Martin actually has to govern and make decisions that will be unpopular, his days of being all things to all people are coming to an end.
he will lose his shine very quickly, I think.
Chretien got away with it for years because of a divided opposition, and iron fisted control over his caucus. Martin does not have that luxury, nor the absolute ruthlessness that Chretien did.
Welcome to reality, Paul.
