\u0027It\u0027s for the Americans to decide who has won, that\u0027s not for another country to decide who has won,\u0027 says a former advisor to prime minister Jean Chrétien

On top of that U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear he could contest election results in the courts, potentially setting up a weeks long timetable to come to a clear result. He has suggested in advance he believes mail in ballots will lead to fraud.

“It’s for the Americans to decide who has won, that’s not for another country to decide who has won. I’m sure the prime minister would be very careful on that,” he said. “There’s not a lot that any other country can do. We sit and watch.” “We were getting as much advice as we could from legal people as to how the process was going to unfold,” he said. We’re being pretty quiet and pretty discreet. And I suspect that’s what’s going to happen with this government as well.”Article content continued

“We will of course be watching Election Day unfold in the United States with confidence in American democracy and their democratic traditions that have managed this event every four years for a very, very long time successfully.” “It’s not analogous at all to what’s happening now, because both Gore and Bush had respect for American institutions.”

He said he worries about the challenge ahead because Trump doesn’t appear to have the same respect for the rules.

U.S. election 101: A last-minute cram session for interested CanadiansCTVNews.ca has compiled a guide to the presidential election for Canadians who are interested in following election night, but haven't been paying attention until now. Nope Don’t Care! Not sure I would trust you on that. Or any other topic. Maybe weather reporting, past. Not forecast. You're kidding, right? We don't need a 'cram session'; we've been riveted to the horror show across our border for 4 years, all while keeping an eye on like-minded Canadian trumpists trying to do the same here, often with your gleeful help. I wouldn't watch CTV if you paid me to.
