The upcoming American Presidential Election on November 3, 2020 is shaping up to be a bitter and divisive contest, pitting President Donald Trump against former Vice-President, Joe Biden. The raging battle for the White House has completely absorbed most Americans and tended to leave us, north of the border, essentially on the outside looking in and hoping for the best.
What’s really at stake for Canada and Canadians? How do the two presidential candidates stack up on critical political issues affecting our continental relationship? Our panel will look at ‘make-or-break’ issues on the North American agenda ranging across the spectrum from diplomacy and defense to trade and the environment to race and equality rights.
The panel includes:
-Hon. Scott Brison (Chair) - Vice-Chair, BMO and Chancellor of Dalhousie University
-Dr. Christopher Sands - Director, Canada Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center and Director, Johns Hopkins Canadian Studies
-Dr. Jennifer Mustapha - Assistant Professor of Political Science, Huron University College at Western University
-Maryscott (Scotty) Greenwood - CEO, Canadian American Business Council
-Dr. Brian Bow - Professor of Political Science, Dalhousie University
