Mark Carney sworn in as Canada’s new Prime Minister

Mark Carney has officially taken office as Canada’s new prime minister following a swearing-in ceremony at Rideau Hall, where he pledged allegiance to King Charles III.

With his cabinet ministers now assuming their roles, Carney assured Canadians of swift action, declaring, “We’re going to get straight to work.”

His first international visit is set for Europe next week, signaling a possible shift in Canada’s diplomatic priorities.

This deviates from the usual first trip to the U.S. Carney’s appointment follows Justin Trudeau’s resignation, with the former prime minister thanking Canadians for their trust.

Carney’s landslide victory in the Liberal Party leadership race solidified his position as Trudeau’s successor, ushering in a new era for Canada’s governance.
