Justin Trudeau's New Cabinet The Most Diverse In Canadian History

Canada's new cabinet is not only gender balanced, it's the most diverse in history.

[Danuta]

How about choosing actually people who are the best qualified for the job?

- Aristotle

[Suren]

This isn't gender equality, this is simply parity

[thewwefan]

Wait, he didn't choose people based on their experience, but he chose them because of their ethnicity?

Isn't that, kind of a bad idea?

[lich_boss]

i think we should adopt a policy like MERICA where you have to be born in canada to be in the goverment

[richardtaylor]

Eh, if he thought these were the best people for the job then fine but I don't believe in a quota system just to make people feel better. I think society should be built on *merit*. That means no nepotism and no picking people based on their skin color or genitalia.

I guess I am in the minority though. Regardless I am sure the cabinet will do a fine job.

[dramatish]

I'm not a fan quotas. how do we know if the males are qualified enough or not?

[mickwest]

Seventy three years I have been a proud Canadian - Not a French, or Japanese, or English, or German, or Ukrainian, just a Canadian. Now its all down the tube, this bastard will do so much to disgrace Canada, that it will take years for us to regain any credibility in the world or even in our own country.

[artsmart]

Don't they call this affirmative action somewhere? Junior and his 'diverse' team, all show.

[ernstbacker]

We're not in Canada anymore! I think we're in India now

Minister of Science! I Love Canada more then ever

[raphaelkhan]

"Put them in for qualifications, not gender or race" Trudeau has put a veteran commander in defense, a doctor in healthcare, an astronaut in transportation, a disabled combat veteran in charge of VA, a scientist in charge of science. He has put people in charge of what they are best at. Harper put in people who would do what he says.

We need to work together to stop mass immigration

[edsterenberg]

Diversity is important, no point in appointing the most capable.

[YankeeNationalist]

When did saying "it's 2015" replace having an actual opinion?

[ruthcattle]

It is filled with diverse ineptitude you need people picked by qualifications to run a Country not their gender or their ethnicity.

[ting]

there are apparantly no black people in Canada in 2015. salute to Lincoln Alexander, Jean Augustine, and Hedy Fry, the only 3 black Canadian Cabinet Ministers in the 47 year history

[adxffaaa]

Selecting people to lead a country just based on gender and not on skills is pretty stupid.

[carloszenteno]

AJ+, where is the long version of this video ? Where they present the ministers and their swearing into office ?

[hoosfoosfull]

And three years later he's poised to take the crown for worst Prime Minister in Canadian history.
