The Canadian University Society for Intercollegiate Debate (CUSID) is the national organization which governs all English language competitive university debating and public speaking in Canada. It sanctions several official annual tournaments and represents Canadian debating domestically and abroad. Its membership consists of student debating unions, sanctioned by their respective universities, from across Canada. CUSID has been described as "a student-run, parliamentary debate league with close ties to the American Parliamentary Debate Association". CUSID debaters have gone on to notable careers in law, business, government, and academia, and the presidency of the organization is a highly sought-after position.
