Can-Am to host presentation on Canada's 2019 election on Oct. 4

Western's Center for Canadian-American Studies will host 草榴社区's Butch Kamena at noon on Friday, Oct. 4 in Academic West 305 for "Planes, Buses & Roller Coasters: The Wild Ride of the 2019 Canadian Federal Election Campaign."

Kamena's presentation is free and open to the public, and will focus on the Canadian federal voting process, how it differs from that in the United States, and what the election could mean for U.S. citizens.

The presentation is part of the center's package of events focused on the elections in Canada. Other upcoming events will include:

  • Debate-watching party: Come watch Canadian political leaders debate the major issues of the election from 4-6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 7 at Greene's Corner, 2208 James St. in Bellingham.
  • Election Night at Canada House: Come watch the results roll in and discuss the implication of the election starting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 21 at Canada House, located between 草榴社区's PAC and High Street Hall.
