Millions of ballots are yet to be counted on the morning after the U.S. presidential election, but Republican candidate Donald Trump has prematurely declared victory, while Democrat candidate Joe Biden told his supporters that “it ain’t over till every vote is counted.” In today’s show, Matt Galloway gets the reaction from the U.S., and discusses what happens if the eventual result ends up before the courts. We talk to former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman about what this uncertain outcome might mean for U.S.-Canada relations. And we hear from voters on both sides about healing the deep political divides.
