Original Toronto Star caption: I'm not, a very cynical person, says Margaret Birch, Ontario's newest super minister in the cabinet of Premier Davis. I look for the best in people and rarely am I disppointed. Davis raised her from minister without portfolio (as such the first woman to hold a cabinet post in Ontario) to provincial secretary for social development.
