About the discussion

Canadian-American Politics – Where is it taking us?
The political climate is changing on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. Anti-war sentiment is on the rise in the States and for the first time in history, candidates in an upcoming presidential race include a female and an African-American. Canada recently elected a Conservative government that made surprising inroads in Quebec.

What kind of world will we be living in until the end of the Bush administration, and what can we expect from a Prime Minister who sometimes tries to “out-Bush” Bush? Are we moving further to the right in Canada and Quebec? And how can we be more actively involved in defining our future?
