Examining critical & current issues related to constitutional governance in Canada and the US, at the intersection of law and public policy.

Friday, June 5, 2026 | 8:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. | 

At a moment when constitutional democracy faces growing strains on both sides of the border, Թ's Max Bell School of Public Policy invites you to "Not Politics as Usual: Challenges to Constitutional Governance in Canada and the United States". This free, one-day conference brings together leading scholars and practitioners in law and in public policy to examine threats to democracy, constitutionalism, the protection of minorities and the rule of law in both countries and the implications for topics such as migration policy and the securitization of the border; the intersection of trade, law and tariffs; judicial independence, and the politicization of freedom of expression and academic freedom.
