Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge will not seek re-election, Radio-Canada has learned.
But first, she needs to shovel money out the door.
But before she goes, St-Onge plans to fulfil a key part of her mandate letter as Heritage Minister.
According to information obtained by Radio-Canada, this week St-Onge will unveil her proposal to modernize CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate in the Broadcasting Act, which has not been reviewed since 1991.

My first thought (well it’s a fear, possibly a seething actually..) of having the CBC mandate reviewed is that they’ll request the CRTC to extend the CBC mandate to the internet of things, and then have the CBC banner on the side of everyone’s computer monitor or device to constantly stream CanCon for us.
“for your benefit”
Seemingly odd behavior for a government allegedly on the cusp of re-election with a majority.
Watching all these rodents bail from the ship tells me a lot more than the fake news “polls” they put up all the time.

You would think with a name like Pascal St-Onge, she might be…i don’t know, hot? Nope, she looks like a Harpy.
Peter, a fellow tenant has that name Pascale , and is male.
Probably a little light in the loafers, nest ce pas?
“In addition to her duties as heritage minister, St-Onge recently took on the portfolios of Tourism and the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec.”
Ever get the feeling there are way too many totally useless government departments?
Why can’t Quebec look out for itself? Is this really a Federal Government responsibility?
“Why can’t Quebec look out for itself? Is this really a Federal Government responsibility?”
Did you forget that this whole con-federation was set up to financially support “Lower Canada”, with a few bucks left for “Upper Canada”?
There are 36 ministers and 36 parliamentary secretaries, plus the Prime Minstrel itself. So almost half of the 153 Liberals in the house get extra money and perks as a result of their positions.
Yes, we have too many ministries, and other useless eaters, and many of them have overlap, in order to obfuscate responsibility.
Let me guess without even looking. It involves shoveling tons of money to Quebec for some reason?
a pretty good summary of canadian governance. Where does Trudeau look for advice?

HeShe can’t win her riding. Big Mel is in the same boat.
Good riddance
I recall that before Blackie was elected, that John Baird decided not to run again, thats when I knew that Harper was getting thumped
Trudope’s accomplices are much like Tranna gang bangers who raid shopping malls and fill as many sacks and pockets as they can while scurrying out the door .
At least she isn’t getting a pension.
