Canadians have been watching the political conflicts in the United States with increasing interest since Donald Trump became the president in 2016. Citizens of the U.S have witnessed how decisions made by Donald Trump have increased disagreement between elected officials within the U.S and internationally. Many anticipate that this discord will result in economic problems for the U.S and if so, Canada will also experience the same fate in the future.

Experts in this field, such as Christopher Cochrane, a political scientist at the University of Toronto, predict that the Canadian government will not be fazed as different parties are structured in a way that any disputes and disagreements are immediately resolved. Canada’s political system is organized to be less polarized compared to the U.S government where they obviously have a two-party system.

"The American system institutionally seems almost built for the purpose of generating polarization," Cochrane said. "You've got partisan control over electoral boundaries. You've got partisan-affiliated Supreme Court judges. You've got a two-party system institutionalized right down to the level of voter registration."

Canada’s elections however are controlled by a non-partisan chief electoral officer and electoral commission. In addition, Canada's multi-party parliamentary system has a governor-general, an auditor general, and Parliamentary Budget Office that have no party affiliation but are all focused on the Parliament.

In order to avoid strife in the government and economy, Canadians have traditionally worked together to find a middle ground as seen in the image where the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, and a fellow member of the Canadian Parliament, Andrew Scheer acknowledged and respected each other’s opinions after their dispute. It is inevitable to not have a debate on economics but it would always be about how to expand and develop the growing economy. On the other hand, the current election in the U.S shows how the running presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, regularly exchange opposing views. This shows that regardless of who wins, there will continue to be two disagreeing parties in the future.
