As Americans prepare to elect Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to the Presidency, this talk will discuss the major issues of the campaign: what are the electoral chances for Clinton and for Trump? What issues of domestic and foreign policy will determine the winner? What will the impact of the elections be for Canada and Québec? What are the other races to watch in Congress and House of Representatives?
