Prime Minister Stephen Harper is set to shuffle his cabinet on Friday, but no senior portfolios are expected to 
change hands, CBC News has learned. Up to three cabinet ministers are expected to change jobs in the minor shuffle, prompted by the impending departure of Jay Hill. The Conservative government's House leader announced last month that he will not seek re-election in the next federal vote. The moves come a day after Harper spoke at his party's annual summer caucus meeting, where he told Conservatives to stay focused on the economy. It was the first public comment he'd made in a month. The shuffle also comes as a new Ekos poll suggests the Conservatives' lead over the Liberals among potential voters appears to have dried up, with both parties virtually tied at the same level of support. Harper last shuffled his cabinet in January, a move that was described by the Prime Minister's Office as "fine tuning" as none of the major portfolios was reassigned.

Our MP has been judged by Stevie and found wanting. Perhaps we as voters should take that as a sign of the quality of the man. More importantly, maybe the local Conservative constituency association should take that as a sign. Of course, that would assume that Conservative would not mean in action, would it?
