(This question will be scored as top three vs. other listed candidates vs. Someone else)

John Baird, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, resigned abruptly this week.  There has been speculation on who will replace him in that post.  There are a lot of possibilities, and no obvious candidate.  I think the most likely candidate is Ed Fast, as he was chosen as the interim minister.  Peter MacKay is more likely because of his previous experience.  Jason Kenney has played a similar role before.  A lot of others are also possibilities.  Of those not mentioned in the article, Christian Paradis might be a candidate, as he is the current Minister for International Development.  Rob Nicholson might be a candidate.  Maxime Bernier was Foreign Affairs Minister before his problems.  Pierre Poilievre would be a (somewhat under-qualified) "Ottawa" choice.  Lynne Yelich is the current Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
