WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5th

What impact will the US election have on us Canadians? And how much ‘different’ does this Presidential election look, compared to 2020? We tackle the topic with Mercedes Stephenson – Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of the West Block.

Next – just how much do you know about the US ‘electoral system’ – and how it differs from ours? We get some insight from Melissa Haussman - Professor of Political Science at Carleton University.

And finally - over 3,600 crosses stand as a silent reminder along five acres of Calgary’s Memorial Drive. ‘The Field of Crosses’ is a visual representation honouring the Southern Albertan’s who made the ultimate sacrifice in their service. We hear about the significance of the elaborate display with George Brookman, representative from ‘The Field of Crosses’.
