 s</strong></a></p><p>Canadians are returning to the polls less than two yea
 rs after the most recent federal election. And what a time it has been! A m
 inority government\, party leadership change\, and most significantly\, the
  COVID-19 pandemic\, all marked the short life of the 43rd Parliament. Cana
 dians vote (or mail in their COVID-safe ballots) on September 20th to elect
  the 44th Parliament and pass judgment on the Liberal government’s most rec
 ent stint in office.</p><p>This is not the first pandemic election in Canad
 a\, several provinces have gone through the exercise\, re-electing governme
 nts in the midst of earlier waves.  Will Canadians reward the government’s 
 pandemic performance and grant the Liberals the majority government they se
 ek\, keep them a minority government\, or change government altogether? A c
 omfortable government lead in the polls seems to be ebbing away and Canadia
 ns are seeking answers on questions like climate change\, the post-pandemic
  recovery\, housing\, the opioid crisis\, health care and reconciliation wi
 th Indigenous peoples.</p><p>Join us for a series of panels commenting on c
 ampaign issues and dynamics and evaluating the results of September 20th.</
 p><p>In this virtual event\, panelists will discuss campaign promises as th
 ey relate to climate change\, the science behind this year’s climate emerge
 ncies\, and things to watch for in the election.</p><p><strong>Panelists:</
