Trump-wary Carney sworn in as Canadian prime minister

Today, we’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future."

Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Carney wrote

Carney is arriving at a good time. He has emerged as a figure people seem to trust to take on Donald Trump,

University of Winnipeg politics professor Felix Mathieu told AFP

We're going to get right to work,

he told reporters before taking the oath of office

Everything in my life has prepared me for this moment,

Carney said Sunday after winning the Liberal Party leadership race

Thank you, Canada – for trusting in me, for challenging me, and for granting me the privilege to serve the best country, and the best people, on Earth,

Trudeau said on social media

He will do very well. He’s respected internationally,

But, he added

The Conservatives are trying to cast him as an elite who doesn't understand what regular people go through. And I think if he can't communicate well, then he runs the risk of being typecast in that way,

Turnbull said

He's a boring guy who in general doesn't have a lot of charisma,

Beland said

Very much we are emphasizing the commercial aspect of it,

he said recently in an interview with The Rest Is Politics podcast

Carney told supporters in the Western city of Edmonton in January

she told AFP

I’m not the only Liberal in Canada who believes that the prime minister and his team let their attention wander from the economy too often. I will not lose focus,
