— As Canadians head to the polls, experts examine how the US–Canada relationship might change.

As Canada approaches a pivotal federal election, the trajectory of US–Canada relations stands at a critical juncture. From trade and energy cooperation to defence partnerships and shared democratic values, the bilateral relationship is deeply rooted, but facing unprecedented challenge. From Trump’s hefty tariffs to threats to subsume Canada into the ‘51st state’, this new and destabilising relationship with the United States has upended the status quo.

Join us as experts delve into key questions including:

  • What can we expect from the election results?
  • How will Canada’s foreign policy evolve under a new government, especially in relation to the US and Europe?
  • How does a new government handle the Trump administration moving forward?
