'Hard to watch it from here': Americans in Canada cast ballot ahead of U.S. election

About 600,000 eligible voters in Canada can cast their vote in Tuesday's election

EDMONTON — Stephen Winters says watching the U.S. election campaign from Canada as a dual citizen is like a parent watching their kid play sports.

“When you’re on the sideline it makes you more nervous than when you’re in it,” Winters said in an interview from Calgary.

“My friends and family at home are like, ‘Don’t worry that much’ because they’re there and they know things are going OK. When you’re outside, it can look worse than it is.”
