Republicans And Democrats: Foreign Policy

Mitt Romney Dept: With Mitt Romney virtually assured of the GOP s nomination, the fight between Republicans and Democrats is about to become even more intense. As in 2004 and 2008, Canadians will follow the twists and turns of the U.S. election campaign almost as passionately as if they voted themselves, according to The Star. This is not surprising. Mainstream Canadians tend to be centrists in economic and social policies, they favour open immigration and multiculturalism, and their views on religion, foreign policy, health care, the environment and foreign policy are more closely aligned with the Democrats than with the Republicans and think a Republican in the White House is best for Canada s economy? Think again Because our two countries are so closely integrated and American policies have a real impact on Canada, Canadians have genuine preferences when it comes to U.S. politics and, for at least the past two decades, they have preferred Democrats.
