Meanwhile discussions about the possibility of a minority government are on the rise. As a result, the ƻԺ Institute for the Study of Canada has decided to organize a panel discussion on a range of election topics, including “undecided” voters and their impact on the results of the elections, measuring undecidedness, voter polarization and gender and politics.</p> Mon, 07 Oct 2019 20:17:26 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 188048 at /newsroom Experts: Federal elections 2019 /newsroom/channels/news/experts-federal-elections-2019-299979 <p>Here are the ƻԺ experts available to comment on the upcoming Canadian Federal Election.

How do we maintain a sense and an approximation of fairness in our globalizing and polarizing world? Certainly there can be no fairness without tax fairness: tax policy is where we negotiate the relationship between wealth and poverty.</p> Fri, 16 Feb 2018 19:06:33 +0000 cynthia.lee@mcgill.ca 32972 at /newsroom
