The United Kingdom has hinted at potential support for Israel in its ongoing conflict with Iran, though officials emphasize that recent military deployments are primarily precautionary. British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves stated on Sunday that additional military jets were sent to the Middle East to protect British bases and personnel. The escalation between Israel and Iran saw fresh attacks overnight, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning that Iran would face intensified strikes in the coming days.

Carney's Cabinet Overhaul: A New Era for Canadian Governance


Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to unveil his new cabinet today at Rideau Hall, marking a significant shift in his administration's approach. The swearing-in ceremony, scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET, will introduce a streamlined front bench designed to emphasize a more business-oriented governance style.

Carney's new team is expected to consist of up to 30 ministers and 10 secretaries of state, with nearly half of the appointees being fresh faces, including newly elected officials from the April 28 election. A government insider has indicated that the cabinet will feature representatives from every province and the North, ensuring a broad national perspective.

This marks Carney’s second cabinet formation, but his first outside of a caretaker government. His previous cabinet, formed in March, faced criticism for consolidating several ministerial roles into larger portfolios, a move that some advocacy groups opposed. Today’s announcement is expected to address some of those concerns while maintaining a focus on efficiency and economic growth.

As Canada watches closely, the unveiling of Carney’s cabinet will set the tone for his administration’s priorities in the coming months. With Parliament set to return on May 26, the new ministers will have little time to settle in before tackling key legislative challenges.
