Prof. David MacDonald, Department of Political Science, spoke to Yahoo! Canada News about this week’s U.S. presidential election and how the outcome might affect Canada.

“I think a Joe Biden presidency is probably more in line with the values and politics of most Canadians,” MacDonald said. “Our centre of gravity politically is quite different than it is in the U.S., so a Biden win would fit more with the general culture and values of most Canadian voters.”

MacDonald’s research focuses on comparative Indigenous politics in Canada and the United States. He has also worked extensively in the areas of international relations and American foreign policy.
