People on these boards simply do not realize how large the gap politically there is between Canada and the USA.  There is simply no overlap

As the mayor of Calgary has said a conservative in Canada is a liberal in the USA

These cabinet selections are an example of this. While Canada has far too much government the USA has far too little.

While having people who have no government experience can be an advantage, an entire cabinet without it is bad. And the few who are from the 'government' come from its command and control branch -the military. (I guess they impressed Trump as 'get it done' guys).

I believe it was the freakeconomcs guys who pointed out the 3 or 4 US presidents who where pure businessmen where all considered among the worst presidents

I guess the USA will also find out if this is true for cabinet secretaries
