Court Painter seen with recent portrait of PM Carney with Nemesis
OTTAWA — Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister in a ceremony at Rideau Hall on Friday morning, along with a leaner Liberal cabinet that he said is focused on “meeting the moment” and facing down the threat posed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
In his first press conference as prime minister, Carney said his government will concentrate on growing the economy, making life more affordable and making the country more secure.
“One of the top issues, of course, is the crisis with respect to the United States, and the opportunity with respect to trade diversification,” he said.
Prime Minister Carney must deal immediately with the south of the border deranged presidential menace .
Meanwhile shortly after PM Carney was appointed, President Donald J Trump was quoted as saying:
“If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it, between Canada and the U.S., just a straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many many decades ago, and it makes no sense.”
