I wonder if he will become one. We'll find out next week.
With the expected lower number of ministers, gender, diversity and regional concerns I'm not so sure. There will be a lot of unhappy Toronto MP's on Nov 5th and he might be one of them.
There are a lot of Liberal MP's that have more experience than him throughout the GTA. Will they include Bill Blair, Mark Holland, John McCallum, Peter Fonseca, James Maloney, John McKay and Adam Vaughn in their cabinet list? (and I'm probably forgetting a few) No. Maybe one or two.
Say there is 30 cabinet ministers. 15 female, 15 male. Of the male ones 5+ may be visible minorities. That leaves 10 white guys (max). Then you look at "star" candidates and the regions which are mainly represented by white males. Scott Brison, Ralph Goodale, Andrew Leslie, Trudeau, Stephane Dion, LeBlanc, and MacAuley are names I would expect in the cabinet. So 3 left...and they have experienced cabinet ministers from Toronto that may take precedence over Adam Vaughan
Looks like you're right. It's all down to numbers, and Vaughan's gonna get passed over.

Does that change the calculus on jets at the airport? Vaughan sez no but Karygiannis sez maybe.
