Doors at 5pm. Refreshments/Networking at 5:30pm. Panel and Q&A at 6pm.

This year’s federal election campaign has been one of the country’s longest, and despite the parties’ tight management of their messages, its early days were full of surprises. Beyond horse-race commentary and beyond the latest ad, our panel hopes to provide deeper insights and a longer view of the 2015 election.

Come hear what UVic’s political scientists think about the course of the campaign, its possible outcomes on October 19 and the implications for Canadian democracy. With expertise on policy, polling, Quebec and gender, the panel participants include Dr. Joseph Fletcher, Dr. Matt James, Dr. James Lawson, Dr. Jocelyne Praud and Dr. Michael Prince.

Time: 5:30-7:30 pm (Doors open at 5 pm)
5:30 pm - Refreshments and networking
6-7 pm – Panel presentation
7-7:30 pm – Q & A
