The CBC takes a look at how each candidate would affect Canada.

On the issue of trade:

They give the edge to Bush it seems. Kerry is more of a protectionist and would try to stop free movement of labour. While Canada might have to adjust, I completely agree with Kerry and wish Canadian politicians would do the same. They do however mention that Kerry would allow for prescription drugs to move across the border, I am not sure if that would be a lot of revenue for Canada.

On the environment:

Slight edge to Kerry it seems. They don't sound to optimistic about either one. Maybe an edge to Kerry just because he does support Kyoto in principle and he wants to promote alternatives to oil.

Foreign Policy:

They give this one to Kerry.

Beef trade:

This one goes to Bush.

Toronto Garbage:

Goes to Bush. Apparently Kerry wants to ban Canadian garbage from going to Michigan. It might suck for Toronto since they will have to pay to have it shipped further away, but at the same time, I agree with Kerry and would wish our politicians did the same.
