This year’s theme is “Politics in Uncertain Times,” as seen in the destabilizing activities of countries like Russia and North Korea; the unpredictability of important figures like US President Donald Trump; uncertainty surrounding significant policy and social issues like climate change, free trade, colonialism, and inequality; and the rising threat to liberal democracy posed by increasing populism, nativism, and support for authoritarian leaders. How can we explain or understand these phenomena? What prescriptions might be possible to combat them? What role might Canada play in confronting these issues, and in what ways is Canada vulnerable to their effects?
Programme is subject to change. Please stay tuned to this website for the most up to date information.

Special Events
CPSA President’s Dinner
As CPSA President, I invite all conference delegates to join me for this year’s President’s Dinner, which will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Centre Regina on Thursday, May 31 at 6 pm.
For faculty supervisors in a position to do so, I encourage them to bring their students to the dinner as their guests. This is a great opportunity to meet other political scientists! Spouses, partners, friends and other guests of delegates are also invited. The President’s Dinner is also when we announce the winners of our prizes and honour their achievements. We hope all members of the prize juries and shortlisted colleagues will be present. The five new members of the CPSA Board of Directors and the new President and Vice-President will also be announced and introduced at the dinner. Join us in welcoming them to the Board!
Attendees can pay for their tickets on the Congress registration form under "Other Fees" until Friday, May 18, 2018. After this date, attendees are asked to contact the CPSA Secretariat. There will be no on-site ticket sales.
I look forward to greeting you all at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Centre Regina, and to sharing an evening with you.
Janet Hiebert, CPSA President
