SUMMARY:Beyond Borders - Canada's National Elections: A Pivotal Moment for US-Canadian Relations
DESCRIPTION:The outcome of the April 28\, 2025\, general elections in Canada will significantly impact both domestic affairs and U.S.-Canadian relations\, regardless of which candidate wins.

Charles Shapiro will delve into these topics with Canada experts Allison Gifford and Laura Dawson\, Ph.D.  \n\n\n\nBeyond Borders is a series of virtual dialogues focusing on the United States’ ongoing foreign policy re-directs under the Trump Administration. Amb. (ret.) Charles Shapiro\, President Emeritus of the World Affairs Council of Atlanta and former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela\, will lead each dialogue with world-class experts in their fields of study and practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
