After four years in office, Liberal Prime Minster Justin Trudeau is vying for a second term, yet the Conservative Party led by Andrew Scheer is virtually tied according to the latest polls. Whether voters opt for continuity or a significant political shift, the results will matter to Washington, North America, and the world. The Canada Institute at the Wilson Center and the Canada-United States Law Institute (CUSLI) will convene for an in-depth discussion analyzing the outcome of the October 21st federal election. Leading U.S.-Canada analysts, former diplomats and business leaders will address the implications of the election results for Canadian politics, Canada-U.S. relations, and Canada's engagement with the world.  Keynote Nik NanosFounder, Nanos Research Global Fellow, Canada Institute, The Wilson Center Speakers David JacobsonFormer U.S. Ambassador to Canada Christopher SandsDirector of the Center for Canadian Studies, John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies    Special Guests James BlanchardFormer U.S. Ambassador to Canada Laura DawsonFormer Director of the Canada Institute, The Wilson Center Jim PetersonFormer Trade Minister of Canada Peter McKayFormer Defense Minister of Canada Alexander Panetta or Luiza Savage POLITICO *Additional speakers to be confirmed.
