Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre wasted no time in criticizing the new Prime Minister Mark Carney, referring to him as “Mr. Trudeau’s economic advisor” and accusing him of essentially having the same cabinet as Justin Trudeau, just with some “cosmetic surgery.” Poilievre pointed out that all current cabinet members were previously part of Trudeau’s caucus, insinuating that the same people who ran Trudeau are now running Carney.
In a scathing remark, Poilievre stated that Carney thinks Canadians are stupid and that the Liberals are attempting to hide their past with a mere facelift. He highlighted the fact that Carney’s cabinet only consists of 23 ministers, a significantly smaller number compared to Trudeau’s 39-member cabinet which included the former Prime Minister himself.
It is clear that Poilievre is not impressed with Carney’s cabinet choices and sees a direct connection between the current government and Trudeau’s previous administration. The Conservative leader’s strong words suggest that he believes Carney’s leadership will be nothing more than a continuation of Trudeau’s policies and practices.
As the political landscape in Canada continues to shift, it will be interesting to see how Carney’s cabinet functions and whether Poilievre’s criticisms hold weight in the coming months. Only time will tell if Carney can prove his detractors wrong and establish his own unique leadership style separate from Trudeau’s legacy.
