Canada's fortunes and prosperity are intimately affected by the electoral decisions of our American neighbours. The Fraser Institute asked 10 noted Canadian and American scholars to write about the implications of the 2012 US presidential election on Canada in a number of key policy areas. Each essayist was asked to answer, to varying degrees, three questions relating to the results of the US election: (1) What are your expectations for policy in the near future (two to four years)? (2) What are the problems or opportunities with such policies? (3) And what are the implications of such policies for Canada?
