Unveiling of the Carney office set for Tuesday.
Prime Minister Carney's New Cabinet Ready to Roll Out 🌞
Get ready, Canada! The cat's outta the bag - Prime Minister Carney's fresh team is about to take the stage on Tuesday morning at a shiny 10:30 AM event at Rideau Hall. What's cookin', you ask? Well, ol' Carney ain't spillin' all the beans just yet, but we've got the lowdown on what's brewin' based on those election results and political traditions.
So, here's the skinny: Carney's cabinet is gonna be a mix of old and new faces, just like the good ol' days of Justin Trudeau. But will it be the same ol' crew or a brand new ball game? Only time will tell! Among the 169 Liberal MPs elected on April 28, no less than 67 are fresh on thepolitical block, including bigwigs like Carlos Leitao, Gregor Robertson, and Nathalie Provost.
Carney's already hinted that he's gonna make gender equality a priority in his cabinet, just like Trudeau before him. And since Carney ain't new to this game, he's got a head start. To give you an idea, back in March, when he just took over from the old man, he only appointed 23 ministers to his war cabinet, aiming for a smaller team to tackle that trade war with the States. Can't say we blame him.
Justin Trudeau's last cabinet had 37 ministers, including the big cheese himself. So, Carney's got some tough choices to make when it comes to trade negotiators like Dominic LeBlanc, Melanie Joly, and David McGuinty, who all accompanied Carney to his meeting with Trump this week. Now, we haven't heard exactly what's up with Francois-Philippe Champagne, Carney's finance guy, but we're waitin' with bated breath.
So, Parliament's back in session on May 26, and King Charles III's gonna open the 45th legislative session of Parliament the following day with his Speech from the Throne, a fancy shindig that the Quebec Bloc won't be attendin'. The new government better have a new budget together by the end of the parliamentary session in June, so they better get crackin'!
Now, if you're lookin' for some entertainment, Robert De Niro's gonna be gracing the Cannes Film Festival with an honorary Palme d'or, a long overdue honorary title. And on the non-political front, up to 40 cm of snow's expected in Quebec starting on Wednesday evening, so Nancy, better stay put! Stay tuned, folks, for more political drama!
