I am really very certain - having also seen 4 iterations of No.10 while working in the Cabinet Office - that adding more people to the centre of government is not the solution here.
If the shake-up is on, it better be a proper one.

Ironic they discovered this not long after American democracy died.
A pair of U.K. scholars discovered the mislabeled document in Harvard Law School's digital archives. The university bought it for just $27.50 in 1946. It turned out to be an authentic copy dating to 1300.
Harvard learned it has an authentic Magna Carta. In 1946, it paid less than $28 for it

🚨 The Canadian Association of University Teachers has just advised against any non-essential travel to the United States.🚨
Was doing this anyway, but still shocking to see it officially in writing.

We have the text of the White House proclamation raising 25% tariffs on vehicles.
I am reading fast and it looks like some parts apply except those qualifying for USMCA preferential treatment.
Please forgive me the in-laws are here for dinner.

I study party platforms, but always know few voters actually read them.
In this federal election, platforms matter even less. Given the amount of uncertainty, policy proposals are written in pencil. Voters are wise to invest their time in choosing honorable MPs and leaders to make tough decisions.

Re-upping this. Senior folks in any discipline relevant to global affairs or public policy should apply (polisci, econ, soc, history, anthro, area studies, geography...). It's a genuinely nice place to work in a great city. I'm on the committee and happy to chat.

What happens next?
Carney will be invited to form a govt by the GG.
Carney will be the Prime Minister-designate during a transition period (could be really fast or a few days).
Once the transition is over, Trudeau formally resigns as Prime Minister, and Carney is appointed PM.
