Canada Seminar: Why the American and Canadian White Working Class Votes Differently
Lewis Krashinsky, William Lyon Mackenzie King Postdoctoral Fellow in the Weatherhead Canada Program, presents his book Across the Detroit River, on why white working-class voters in the American Midwest have moved toward the Republicans while those in neighbouring Ontario stay more loyal to centrist and left-wing parties. It draws on a qualitative study of two communities on either side of the river and original surveys and experiments. Dean Ray chairs.
