The federal election is in less than two weeks and recent poll results show that 1 in 10 Canadians are still undecided about who will get their vote. Meanwhile discussions about the possibility of a minority government are on the rise. As a result, the 污污草莓视频 Institute for the Study of Canada has decided to organize a panel discussion on a range of election topics, including 鈥渦ndecided鈥� voters and their impact on the results of the elections, measuring undecidedness, voter polarization and gender and politics.

All speakers will be available for interviews after the panel has concluded at 6:30 pm or by appointment prior to the day of the panel. To book an interview please contact: petros.psarudis [at] mcgill.ca
