Cabinet-making

Lorne Calvert announces the newly-appointed Saskatchewan cabinet. A few notes on the announcements:

- Those theorizing that Andrew Thomson is set to succeed Calvert at the helm of the provincial party get a serious boost, as Thomson takes over the Finance portfolio among others.

- It's great to see Glenn Hagel back in Cabinet with a vengeance, as Government House Leader in addition to taking on a couple more roles.

- The one disappointment: of the 41 different Cabinet or governmental roles announced today, Calvert apparently couldn't find one for Warren McCall.

There's been some coverage from CBC and the Leader-Post already. More commentary here as more media voices emerge, but it looks like Calvert has done well in combining new blood with experience.
