I’ve heard an unsubstantiated rumour, from an officially unofficial unauthorized source, that this cabinet shuffle is going to be “sizeable.” Meanwhile, Justin knows he’s on his way out the door, & that somebody’s gonna come along behind him and clean up after him…so it seems like a great time to stack the deck even further:
How sizable (or sizeable even) a shuffle this will be remains to be seen. Though there are a number of vacancies to fill, as several ministers in recent months have either left their cabinet positions, or have declared they are not seeking re-election, which is typically a trigger for their replacement.
Under Trudeau, the Liberals have been facing persistently poor polling numbers that have had them trailing Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives for more than a year. They've also faced significant byelection losses, and have heard repeated calls for the need of a shakeup or reset to Trudeau's inner circle, from the top down.
Throughout his shuffles, Trudeau has sought to uphold gender parity and balance regional representation because it’s 2015-ish, though, with smaller pools of backbench MPs to look to in Western and Atlantic Canada, upholding those tenets may be more challenging this time.
A parogie-nation would end the current parliamentary session, kill all legislative business that has not passed, and put any plans to table further legislation on pause. A new session of Parliament would begin with a Speech from the Throne, setting the stage for a key confidence vote.
Proroguing now could potentially buy the prime minister some time, either to work on restabilizing his grip on power, or to allow the time for his party to conduct a leadership race, etc…
While not commenting directly on the potential for the prime minister to pull this lever, LeBlanc did note the Liberals did survive several confidence votes last week, referring to the series of last-minute votes on opposition motions and supplementary estimates, so thanks for that there Jagmeet.
PM Justin Trudeau planning to oversee sizable cabinet shuffle on Friday: sources — CTV News

Trudeau’s cabinet Shuffle will make two or three Liberal caucus members happy and about a hundred really antagonized if they aren’t already antagonized. So I suspect over the weekend you’ll see more caucus members that didn’t make the cabinet coming out demanding Mr. Trudeau’s resignation in addition to the 50 or 60 that already are.

The reality is that cabinet shuffles are a much bigger deal in what we’ll call “official Ottawa” compared to what’s going on in the lives of working people, trying to feed their families and pay the rent in the middle of an affordability crisis and runaway housing costs.
More than a year of polling has shown that most Canadians have stopped listening to Trudeau, let alone his appointed cabinet underlings who keep telling us — insert laughter here — that they support the prime minister and expect him to lead them into the next election, in order to retain their current jobs.
EDITORIAL: Cabinet shuffle won’t save Trudeau Liberals — Toronto Sun
Seldom has the phrase “shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic” applied better to Canadian politics than to the news Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to shuffle his cabinet on Friday. Not when the captain is AWOL, his crew look like deer caught in the headlights every time they’re...
Before Freeland’s resignation, so many cabinet ministers had announced that they’re not running again to spend more time with family, or jumped ship because they can see the writing on the wall when it comes to the next election, or resigned in scandal (see Randy Boissonnault), that Trudeau’s cabinet today little resembles the one he was proud to introduce in July 2023.
