You know, they really want somebody who can stand up and, you know, be respectful, argue the case for Canada and keep the country united,&quot; said Skogstad.In the opinion of the professor, despite never having held political office, Carney&#x27;s calm demeanor and international stature are seen as assets in navigating these complex challenges.As Canadians seek strong and unifying leadership, Skogstad considered Carney&#x27;s roots in Alberta might offer an edge in bridging regional divides and fostering national unity.
