The US Republican Party and Canadian Conservative Party are ideologically identical

It is an issue reaction paper. It needs to have 3 peer reviewed sources from https://www.lib.sfu.ca/find. It is my school’s library website where you can search up and find articles that are peer reviewed. It needs to have arguments to both side of the argument (my main argument is agreeing with the topic ). This is the pattern for the paper (1300-1800 words):
Introduction
Thesis
Background of the issue- defining the problem
Arguments with supporting evidence
Refutation of all your opponent’s points
Reminder of your strongest arguments
Conclusion, including a strong opinion statement
