Can-Am Debates this Friday *Updated

​The Bi-Annual Can-Am debates are happening this Friday at Algoma University

By: Matt Siklosi

 This Friday, March 24, the Bi-Annual Can-Am debates are coming to Algoma University once again. For over 30 years political science students at Algoma University and Lake Superior State University have been taking part in debates at each other’s institution once a semester. This semester the debates will be held in the Doc Brown lounge from 2:00-5:00 pm. This year’s debate questions will be:

1.      How would you characterize the media’s current coverage of politics in the USA and Canada?  What role should the media play in a democracy?  Is it doing its job? 
   
2. What is the objective of a country-specific travel ban?  Would such a travel ban be effective?  What are other factors to consider in deciding whether to introduce such a travel ban?  Is it worth it? 
   

​​The Can-Am debate is a great learning opportunity, and unique to the twin Saults. The debates always promise insightful and lively discussion. Be sure to come on out!
