Just across the Detroit River in Windsor and throughout Canada, voters are headed to the polls to cast their ballots in federal elections.
Political analysts are calling the election the most important in decades. Key issues at the ballot box include the economy, housing, tariffs, and how to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s extreme policies.
In this election, Canadians will select Members of Parliament and the political party that will run the government for the near future. Five parties are vying for that power, including the Liberals, Conservatives, and the New Democratic Party.
Lydia Miljan, a professor of political science at the University of Windsor, spoke with WDET news director Jerome Vaughn about the potential outcome and impacts of Canada’s federal elections.
