Clearing Up Election Confusion

By Joshua Errett

Still confused about last week’s U.S. election? You’re not alone. Today, University of Toronto will feature a panel discussion, “An Analysis of the U.S. Presidential Election 2004,” to shed light on the baffling re-election of George W and the prospect of enduring the guy for four more years. The participants will include Prof. Megan Boler of the University of Toronto, Prof. Theodore Lowi of Cornell University and Alan Freeman, the Globe and Mail’s Washington correspondent. They also will examine the political divide in America during the election and its impact on the Canadian economy, including the recently proposed United States of Canada.
