So we dipping to KKKANADA YET?

I kinda don't have anything or anyone anyway, I'm a trans woman, I have..... documented interactions with law enforcement officers during protests and am in the Midwest. I don't have a passport. But I got high INT & CHR stats. And the grit of a White Sox girlie.

"Senior associate deputy minister" of Finance apparently. From 2004-2007, so he was actually in with the Liberals for a bit before Harper came in in 2006.

Despite the three qualifying adjectives, it looks like he actually was responsible for quite a bit of policy. I would've figured only an elected representative could become a minister, huh.

Deputy minister (even with adjectives) is a very powerful position in the Canadian federal bureaucracy.
