Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed Anita Anand as the new transport minister following the resignation of Pablo Rodriguez. Anand, who previously served as Treasury Board President, will now take on dual roles in the cabinet as Trudeau prepares for a potential federal election within the next year. Rodriguez's departure marks another significant change in Trudeau's team, as the government faces increasing political pressure. Anand's promotion is seen as a strategic move to stabilize the cabinet ahead of upcoming challenges.

Anita Anand's experience and competence make her a solid choice for Transport Minister, but Trudeau's constant cabinet shuffling feels like a band-aid solution to deeper issues that need addressing before the next election.

Another cabinet shuffle won't fix anything—less government interference in transportation and more free market solutions would be a better approach.
