Summary
Carney met Trump in Washington last week but did not secure any removal of tariffs the president has imposed on Canadian exports.
"Our government will deliver its mandate for change with urgency and determination," Carney told reporters.
"Our workers and businesses continue to face the unfair tariffs imposed by the United States. My government will fight for Canadians."
Carney says Canada must spend billions to start shifting the economy's focus away from the United States as well as end barriers to internal trade and cut public spending.
"The business of government must be business ... (we are) eager to work with the new government and all parties to tackle urgent nation-building goals," said Matthew Holmes, policy chief at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, calling for action on issues such as regulatory reform and trade diversification.
Melanie Joly moves from Foreign Affairs to Industry after four years and is replaced by Anita Anand.
Chrystia Freeland, whose resignation as finance minister last December helped oust an increasingly unpopular Trudeau, keeps her job as minister of transport and internal trade.
Former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Hodgson takes over as natural resources minister.
"For the Canada-U.S. relationship, it was very important for Prime Minister Carney to position smart, tough, and experienced people in the key portfolios ... (he) has done just that," said Cameron Anderson, politics professor at Western University in London, Ontario.
As well as the cabinet ministers, Carney named 10 junior secretaries of state.

He’s a POS who raises 250% tariffs against US made Cheese and Ag products. He imports massive amounts of steel and products from China, sheep dips them as “Canadian” and send them in duty free as NAFTA.
He’s trash and we need to undermine him all we can.
And he is a big supporter of Ukraine, and loved the massive crackdown on the truckers and freezing their bank accounts. He is a bitter enemy of free speech.
Never, never forget the evil that came out of Canadian politicians when they viciously targeted not only Red States but individual communities in Swing States like Wisconsin Dairy farmers.

Trade barriers among the 10 provinces(?)
Such was the practice among our thirteen republics under The Articles of Confederation which helped propel the Federal Convention of 1787.
Carney has no hand. Trudeau already confessed Canada can’t exist if the tariff structure changes.
Oh PLEASE! Carney you are so tiny beside the giant, President Trump!
“Our workers and businesses continue to face the unfair tariffs imposed by the United States. My government will fight for Canadians.”
You mean like the unfair tariffs YOU impise on US?
Poor baby.
Reciprocal tariffs are just so MEAN!
A globalist’s globalist. Running a country that’s totally infiltrated by the CCP.
“Trade barriers among the 10 provinces(?)”
yep ... and the provinces have had the power to levy both internal tariffs and international tariffs, so every province has a different international tariff policy as well as internal tariff policy ... Canada has a bizarre division of federal vs providential power division because there’s no definitive division ... will be interesting if the Canadianism Feds can claw back the providential tariff powerers ...
we have Australia to the north of us, sold out radical liberal commie wasteland
