With this in mind, here is my prediction of who will be disappointed and what their ministerial positions might be should the CPC win...

Rob Anders - Minister of Paper Clips and Envelopes
Stockwell Day - Minister of Toilet Paper
Jason Kenney - Minister of Chicken Wings and Timbits
Cheryl Gallant - Minister of Snow Removal
Myron Thompson - Minister of Cowboy Boots, Bad Hats and Western Shirts

Feel free to add your own...

A number of longtime Conservative members of Parliament from Western Canada could find themselves left out of plum cabinet postings in a government led by Stephen Harper, Tory insiders say.

Ontario and Quebec MPs are certain to have top billing in a Conservative government, both because of the pedigree of those running for office and because of the need for the Tories to continue to build on gains they may make in Eastern Canada.

MacKay, a former Crown prosecutor, could be headed for the justice portfolio, both because of his experience with the issues and because he is viewed as a moderate who could easily parry opposition charges the Tories would run roughshod over individual rights. Justice critic Vic Toews, from Manitoba, is viewed as a risk because of his gay marriage stance, but will be the senior minister for the province.

Alberta, which will be again go overwhelmingly Conservative, will be well represented, but the Tory leader will also have tough choices to make.

Diane Ablonczy is a top choice for tackling wait-times as health minister; Ted Menzies, former president of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, could get the all-important international trade file to tackle softwood lumber; Monte Solberg is expected to stay on as finance minister and Jim Prentice should take a more pressing file than his current aboriginal affairs portfolio, with some suggesting environment minister.

But some Alberta MPs could be left off the front bench including Edmonton's James Rajotte and Rahim Jaffer; Calgary's Lee Richardson and Red Deer's Bob Mills.

In British Columbia, reliable Conservative MPs such as Gary Lunn and James Moore could take smaller roles in a Tory government despite their effectiveness in opposition.

Instead, B.C. is guaranteed to see former Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day in cabinet, but possibly not in the foreign affairs role.

Some observers note that he has successfully walked the delicate line on Middle East politics as a critic, and visited many of the international hotspots, but could be vulnerable because his personal views, particularly on the Mideast, are to the right of Harper's merged Conservatives.

Yes, but that was the point of my cabinet-making exercise: too many Albertans. In a cabinet of 37, the cabinet is about 12% of the province's MPs. That's not a rule, but a fact of life. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland each rate 1. Quebec would rate 9, if they had them. Ontario 13. Manitoba and Saskatchewan 2 each. Alberta 3.36, but given the circumstances, 4, plus Harper. BC 4.32, 4 or 5.

His 5 Alberta front-benchers in the last House were Monte Solberg, Rona Ambrose, James Rajotte, Diane Ablonczy, and Bob Mills. I've left out Bob Mills already to get it down to four.

Who would Jim Prentice bump? Does Harper want Jim Prentice that badly? And what about Jason Kenney?

For convenience, here's my list again (sorry).

I see speculation that his cabinet will be fewer than 37, perhaps as small as 25. A slimmer cabinet is good with a new government, giving you room to add unknown newcomers, but I make it 32 plus Harper. Harper's cabinet presumptive, using their former critic titles, is:

Peter MacKay: Deputy Leader, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
Jay Hill: House Leader
Monte Solberg: Finance
Vic Toews: Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Rona Ambrose: Intergovernmental Affairs
Stockwell Day: Foreign Affairs
Rob Nicholson: Transport
Diane Finley: Agriculture and Agri-Food
Gordon O'Connor: National Defence
Betty Hinton: Veterans Affairs
Guy Lauzon: Treasury Board, Official Languages
Loyola Hearn: Fisheries and Oceans
Diane Ablonczy: Citizenship and Immigration
John Duncan: Natural Resources, if re-elected, otherwise Gary Lunn
Bev Oda: Canadian Heritage
Lynne Yelich: Status of Women, Families and Caregivers
Peter Van Loan: Human Resources and Skills Development
James Moore: Public Works and Government Services, Sport
Steven Fletcher: Health
Carol Skelton (if re-elected): Social Development, Public Health
James Rajotte: Industry
Greg Thompson: Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
Scott Reid: Democratic Reform
Dave Mackenzie: Associate Minister of Defence
Helena Guergis: International Cooperation (She came into shadow cabinet to replace Belinda Stronach)
Pierre-Claude Nolin: government leader in the Senate.

To be elected:
Josée Verner
Lawrence Cannon
Maxime Bernier
Jim Flaherty
Tony Clement
John Baird

Available potfolios:
Environment
Indian Affairs and Northern Development
National Revenue
Labour
Housing
Western Economic Diversification
Multiculturalism
International Trade
Infrastructure and Communities
Canadian Wheat Board.

Left out for reason of too many Albertans:
Jim Prentice, now Indian Affairs and Northern Development critic
Deepak Obhrai, now Multiculturalism critic
Jason Kenney, now Deputy House Leader
Bob Mills, Environment critic
Ted Menzies, International Trade critic
Rahim Jaffer, Infrastructure and Communities critic

Not in cabinet:
Brian Pallister, now National Revenue critic
Merv Tweed, now Western Economic Diversification critic
David Anderson, now Canadian Wheat Board critic
Ed Komarnicki Labour and Housing
Norm Doyle, now (and future?) Caucus Chair

That makes 12 of the 33 from Ontario. If John Capobianco gets elected, they'll squeeze him in. Only 4 from Quebec, so if someone else gets elected they'll have a fine shot. Of the 33, 9 are women, 27%, a lot better than their caucus.

[ 16 January 2006: Message edited by: Wilf Day ]

Harper will have to ask his favorite supporters (Solberg is one) to take one for the team if they don't have the experience. Solberg has never even run a business of any significance; he'll be laughed at as Finance minister.

Prentice I still think will see a cabinet post. He has a lot of support from caucus despite his progressive stand on many issues... because he is a good, smart, person. He's had a lot of profile in the campaign and before, across the country. I find it hard to believe that Prentice will be sidelined.

Here's the thing - in that Canwest article, Prentice is the *only* western MP from the former Progressive Conservative party. Aside from MacKay, Prentice is the only former PC partisan that gets much profile these days. Loyola Hearn used to, but that was due to the merger now long over.

ETA: I disagree with you, Wilf, that each province's 'share' of the Cabinet seats should be based purely on population. Surely the percentage of caucus coming from a particular province must play a role. It seems absurd to me that Alberta would have 3X the representation in the Conservative caucus versus Quebec, but only half the number of ministers from Quebec (ie 3 ministers out of 28 versus 7 out of 10). Granted, Quebec is a special case and Harper will want to be seen as giving Quebec it's due, but I think 4 or 5 ministers from Quebec is about the maximum that's realistic. I'd expect to see Alberta with at least 5 seats at the table (including Harper).

No, I think that'll be blamed on John Weston, who failed in his attempt to hold the seat for the Conservative. His campaign had a few gaffes, and he was continiously highlighted as a social conservative with ties to the Chrstian right in the local media. Oh, and he was continiously highlighted as someone who first nations in the province urged the residents of the riding not to elect due to his position on the fisheries issue.

The West wants in and that includes a say in foreign affairs. On the other hand, if Mr. Harper looks to Ontario or Quebec for a foreign affairs minister, that boosts the chances of a westerner, say Ted Menzies from Alberta, getting the International trade portfolio.

Who will get the Foreign Affairs job? Will Stockwell Day get the job? Mr. Day, as a former party leader and his party’s foreign affairs critic since Harper took over the leadership, has worked hard to build up credibility, but he would be a favourite media target because of his past. Comedian and political satirist Rick Mercer emphasized this point on CBC Monday night by saying Mr. Day wouldn’t get the job “mainly because I am just not that lucky.”

Senator Pierre Claude Nolin was first appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Mulroney on June 18, 1993, at age 42, youngest to occupy such a position. A lawyer since 1977, he has worked for several law firms. Born in Montreal, Senator Nolin is the son of the Honourable Jean Claude Nolin, Judge, Quebec Superior Court, and Jacqueline Quevillon.

To answer your question (without getting down to 28, and without naming names), he can leave out:

At least one from Alberta (in addition to your "either or" choice). Alberta might want in, but 6 Ministers including Harper is just too many. The Alberta MPs have got to know already that most won't have a chance.

There's also room to knock two or three off between Ontario and Quebec.

CBC Article here

The cabinet of Canada has become a revolving door between the Libs and the Cons. They should have a same-ideological marriage (legal now) and just get married already.

Anyway Wilfred I was too low at about 25. But your guess was 34 wasn't it?

Fortier is really odd. Has this happened before? How can you hold a minster responsible if he is not in the House to answer questions? Doesn't this break with ministerial accountability precedents, i.e, isn't this illegal? Will he need to be appointed ot the Senate or need to run in a by-election?

Although I will say (easily now, in hind-sight) putting someone from Quebec into HRDC was a no brainer and necessary.
