After he and his new cabinet were sworn in, Ford focused much of his speech on Canada-U.S. relations and dealing with the U.S. president
Ontario Premier Doug Ford appointed a new cabinet with few changes, retaining Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy, to address challenges from a trade war with the United States. While mostly keeping his team intact, Ford shuffled his housing, education, and environment ministers. He emphasized infrastructure investment, resource extraction in northern Ontario, and Canada-U.S. relations in his speech.
