Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s appointment of his new cabinet, lamented that “nothing has changed” since Justin Trudeau. Despite both Carney’s and legacy media’s insistence the new cabinet has a slew of “fresh faces” and represents Carney’s desire for a new start for Canada, Poilievre pointed out the new prime minister’s cabinet choices are just “more of the same.”“That's not the change Carney promised,” Poilievre told reporters Tuesday, ripping into Carney for reinstalling Trudeau’s front benchers into new roles within Cabinet. .Poilievre promised the Conservative party “hopes the country succeeds” and “wants the nation to do well” — therefore, the opposition will challenge the Liberal minority government when needed, and also commend their hard work where applicable.“So far, it's not a promising start,” said Poilievre.“The first disappointment is, unfortunately, his cabinet. He appointed Trudeau’s old team, and Trudeau's old advisors.”“Steven Guilbeault, whose radical green agenda shut down all future developments in our resource industry, is still the minister responsible for Quebec.”“Sean Fraser was the immigration minister who caused the immigration crisis, the housing minister who gave us the housing crisis, and now he's the minister responsible for addressing the Liberal crime crisis.”“It seems like he is the master at failing upward.”“Chrystia Freeland, who as finance minister, hiked capital gains tax and carbon taxes, and massively grew our debt to the point where we now spend a billion dollars a week on interest, stays in the cabinet.”“Then there is François-Philippe Champagne, Trudeau’s minister of everything, who never really managed to do anything.”“Then there’s [Mélanie] Joly, [Dominic] LeBlanc, [Patty] Hajdu, [Anita] Anand.”“In all, 14 of Trudeau’s ministers are now in Cabinet.”.Carney following the appointment of his cabinet, told reporters it was a shake-up designed to propel change in the nation.“This cabinet is smaller, and more focused, than the previous government,” said Carney.“To have clear focus, and take decisive action.”“We will govern as a cabinet constructively and collaboratively. We're working with caucus across parties in Parliament to deliver the change that Canadians want to see.”“Our new government will be a strong and reliable partner to the provinces and territories and to indigenous peoples.”Carney said the newly formed cabinet will have its first meeting on Wednesday, where it will launch efforts to act on the mandate Canadians gave them “to bring about major change, quickly.”“I will work tirelessly to be worthy of their trust,” pledged the prime minister.
