Political and Policy Implications of the Federal Election
*This event is聽open聽exclusively聽to faculty and students of the Max Bell School.*
While the federal election held on September 20 has become infamous for returning a parliament almost identical to the one that was dissolved in the summer, that doesn't mean that it didn't matter or that nothing had changed. In this talk, Prof Beland will examine the political implications of the vote and look at what another Liberal minority means for social policy.
