Transition to the Carney Era: One year in

Presented by:

Shannon Proudfoot, Feature writer at the Globe and Mail

One year into his mandate, Prime Minister Mark Carney is navigating a period of increased public and political attention. Has his leadership delivered on key promises around economic reform, climate action, housing, and reconciliation? This lecture provides a critical assessment of Carney’s governance style, policy decisions, and political strategy as it relates to a Saskatchewan context. Through expert analysis we explore the emerging legacy of Canada’s new leader and what his first year signals for the country’s future.

The State of Canada Lecture Series is a timely examination the major forces shaping the country during a period of profound change. As political dynamics shift, regional tensions rise, and the global landscape evolves, understanding where Canada stands—and where it's headed—has never been more essential.
