Political analyst to discuss Canadian election Lawrence LeDuc, professor of political science at the University of Toronto, will discuss the effects and implications of last year's extraordinary federal election in Canada at a presentation to be held from 5:30-7 p.m. on Friday, March 18, at the International Institute, 864 Delaware Ave., Buffalo. The presentation, "Canada's Political Earthquake (and its Aftershocks): The 1993 Canadian Federal Election," is sponsored by the Canada-U.S. Legal Studies Centre in the UB School of Law, in conjunction with the Buffalo Council on World Affairs and the International Institute. The talk and wine-and-cheese reception are free and open to the public. The 1993 election led to a dramatic overhaul of the Canadian political system. The governing Progressive Conservative Party, led by Kim Campbell, lost 168 seats in Parliament, going from 170 to just two. The government is now led by Jean Chr tien, head of the Liberal Party. Moreover, the main opposition party now is the separatist Bloc Qu becois. LeDuc is a frequent commentator and analyst on Canadian and comparative political behavior, political parties and elections for Radio Canada International, the CBC and the BBC. A prolific writer, he has co-authored "How Voters Change," "Political Choice in Canada" and "Absent Mandate," in addition to numerous book chapters and articles in Canadian, U.S., British and European journals.
