Canadian Sovereignty in 2026: Promises and Perils In-Person

In April 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney led the Liberals to an unexpected victory, based largely on his promise to stand up to the United States and to protect Canadian sovereignty in an increasingly unstable continent and world. Join us as we explore the biggest questions facing Canada today: Is Carney's strategy up to the task? What challenges can Canadians expect in 2026 and beyond, and how should we respond?

This talk is presented by Dr. Blayne Haggart, Associate Professor, Political Science, Brock University. This program is held in partnership with Brock University's Centre for Canadian Studies.
