Right now the PCs are the only party telling Ontarians both what a PC cabinet would look like and what an NDP cabinet would look like. You'd think the NDP would be concerned about that.
Setting aside the critical tone of Selley's post, I thought the actual suggestions for Finance of John Vantof, Catherine Fife, or Peter Tabuns all seemed reasonable. (I don't know much about Davenport NDP candidate Marit Stiles, also suggested as a possibility, but I certainly wouldn't rule her out either). Another possibility who should definitely be considered for some kind of business or financial-related post if she wins:
Paul Wells, the guy who wrote a book titled "Right Side Up" on the victory of Harper. Anybody who thinks that his comments can be anywhere being close to objective is just dreaming or maybe agrees with him.

Mods, please close this thread until Thursday night. It's tempting fate.
I wouldn't close this thread. It provides a helpful rebuttal to columns like Paul Wells' above, or this:

And about the cabinet.
Shadow cabinets dont matter.
So with 40 MLAs to choose from, who will Official Opposition Leader Andrea choose to fill the roles in her NDP Shadow Cabinet?
Lots to choose from!
