The alternatives internal for promotion were scarier just saying.

ZERO experience in fisheries so she will be led down the garden path by her staff, ENGO's etc. and won't know the difference and will blindly follow orders from the Liberal cabinet because that's all she knows!

Pretty much. That's probably why they chose her!

Interesting that nobody from within the department itself got the job - or maybe nobody from within the department wanted the job. Sounds like she has experience in rejecting & ejecting people off the dole.

So, as well as zero fisheries background others have mentioned (which might be a handicap for the department) - she has the perfect experience tho for telling people they can't fish anymore.

Translation: "Good luck with that, Susan!"

Trudeau runs every department in the federal government now. Follow the leader or get out. Unfortunately the Conservatives keep electing people who can’t win general elections. Odd nobody qualified for this position made a fuss? See what I mean?

Knows how to nestle into new spots with new roles in the swamp. A good team player. Unfortunately not on our team though.
