Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to be gearing up for this 2019 election year with an early reset of his government — including a possible cabinet shuffle in the days ahead.

A cabinet shuffle was also part of that mix in 2017 — the one that installed Chrystia Freeland in the foreign affairs post, where she became Trudeau’s point person dealing with the Trump administration. So what would prompt the Prime Minister to shift some jobs around the cabinet this January, besides a pre-election refresh?
