The article discusses the papers regarding the constitutional crisis after the collapse of the Meech Lake Accord in Canada. The authors who were strong supporters of the Accord look into its substance, process and the intergovernmental policy that surrounds its negotiation to be able to come up with the lessons from its failure. The authors cite the option of asymmetrical federalism that calls for the decentralized special status of Quebec. One of the author argues that the Accord failed due to the attempt of the elitist politicians to amend the constitution illegitimately without consultation.

Advocates have called for universal, quality child care in Canada since the 1970s, but the issue seldom appeared to acquire political urgency. The 2006 election campaign seemed different. The governing Liberals promised to devote billions to a nascent national program. The Conservatives promised parents a cash allowance for young children. Child care seemed to be emerging as a significant issue in a political campaign. How was ECEC written about before, during and after Canadian election campaigns? Who is quoted and how? Our project mapped articles about child care in four major Canadian dailies between 2000 and 2008. We found that coverage spiked in 2000 and 2005-2006-during federal elections. Coverage nearly doubled in 2005-2006 in all but one paper. Using content analysis, we compared coverage of child care and sources in the 55 days before the start of campaigning, 55 days of campaigning, and 55 days following the 2006 election. We mapped and compared who said what, and how about child care policy and related issues, in Canada. We found: (1) that newspapers' ideological slants are apparent in their choice of sources and focus; and (2) that more importantly, despite ideological differences, political figures outnumbered activists, parents and child care providers. With only minor variations across the newspapers, the voices of parents and child care activists were marginal especially in the 55 days of campaigning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses how democratic legislatures oversee the military, using Canada as a case. The paper argues that the tendency to engage in intrusive oversight versus reactive oversight is shaped by institutional structures and party preferences. Canadian institutional structures discourage parliamentary defence committees from engaging in intrusive oversight of the armed forces to achieve policy influence, and encourage opposition parties to focus on reactive oversight efforts that complement their vote-seeking preferences. Vote-seeking, the paper argues, incentivises opposition parties to be public critics of the government’s handling of military affairs, rather than informed but secretive monitors of the armed forces. The paper then addresses a key case where the opposition was able to use an exceptional constitutional power of the House of Commons to force the executive to disclose classified information regarding the military: detainee transfers by the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan. This case highlights the trade-offs that parliamentarians face when they demand information to perform more intrusive oversight of the armed forces. This suggests that party preferences are a significant, yet understudied, aspect of how legislatures vary in their oversight of the military. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines Canadian federal and cross-provincial higher education policy from 1960 to 1990, a critical time when provisions for vocational and adult training came under the auspices of governmental concern, justified under both an economic rationale and as a way to address persistent forms of inequality. The problematisation of skill during this period had particular gendered implications, as addressing inequality through education subsidies intersected with the perceived training needs of employers and the market. Employing Nancy Fraser's theory of a ‘triple movement’, the following paper ‘takes stock’ of how the three political forces of social movements, marketisation, and social protection have shaped gendered discourses of education and training, the implications for which are of continued relevance to those trying to understand the education and training within the contemporary neo-liberal state.

This paper is concerned with the impact of medical inadmissibility provisions in Canada's immigration law on applicants with disabilities. The paper draws on key informant interviews, policy analysis, and Ministry of Immigration data on medical inadmissibility findings. We follow the lead of recent mobilities scholarship to examine how the immigration system is enacted, reproduced, and contested over time. From this perspective, we see that recent court challenges to the statutory provisions have created additional procedural space for applicants to contest findings of inadmissibility. However, the legitimacy of excessive demand as a basis for exclusion remains firmly in place, while recent immigration policy changes signal an intensification of measures to limit the social reproductive costs of immigration. Les personnes handicapées, l'inadmissibilité pour motifs sanitaires et la politique d'immigration sélective Cet article s'intéresse aux effets des dispositions de la législation canadienne en matière d'immigration relatives à l'inadmissibilité pour motifs sanitaires des candidats ayant une incapacité. L'article se fonde sur des entretiens auprès d'informateurs clés, des analyses politiques et des données du ministère sur les décisions d'inadmissibilité pour motifs sanitaires. Les recherches récentes portant sur la mobilité forment le point de départ d'une exploration du mode de fonctionnement du système d'immigration, sa reproduction et sa remise en question au fil du temps. Vues sous cet angle, les contestations actuelles des dispositions légales devant les tribunaux ont permis de dégager un espace de procédure supplémentaire pour les candidats afin de contester les verdicts d'inadmissibilité. Cependant, la légitimité de la demande excessive en tant que motif d'interdiction perdure, tandis que les changements récents apportés à la politique d'immigration annoncent une intensification des mesures visant à limiter les coÛts sociaux de l'immigration.

This paper compares the impact of court decisions on policy-making for three different, ethically contentious policy issues: abortion, assisted reproduction and euthanasia. Past research on abortion emphasised how, in Canada, court decisions contributed to medicalise the issue by framing it as a question of equal access to health care (explain effect). This paper investigates to what extent courts have impacted policy-making on other life and death issues in similar or different ways as has been the case for abortion. Have courts in the case of assisted reproduction and euthanasia also sustained a medicalized frame, or to the contrary, have courts validated other competing policy frames? As the comparison reveals court decisions have contributed to define all three policy issues as a matter of health, health care and medical autonomy; a problem definition promoted by different actors, in particular physicians, patient organizations, and state actors. Defining abortion, euthanasia and assisted reproduction as a health issue reflects the influential position of the medical profession, but - more importantly - opens the possibility to initiate policy change, as the comparative analysis argues.

19. Mapping Paradigm Wars: Canadian Political Economy and Its Relationship to Economics and Contemporary Economic Sociology.

CANADIAN politics & government ,CANADIAN economy ,ECONOMICS ,SOCIAL sciences ,COMMUNISM - Abstract
This paper attempts to map and explain three different perspectives for understanding the relationship between economy and society: mainstream economics, economic sociology and Canadian political economy. Each paradigm provides a distinctive way of interpreting economic phenomena due to differences in the topics they tend to study, their theoretical propositions, how issues of uncertainty and information are viewed, their relationships to other social sciences, and the existing anomalies in each paradigm. The relatively new paradigm of economic sociology has distinguished itself as an addition to, or in conflict with the rational, axiomatic mainstream neoclassical economic paradigm, offering a variety of studies emphasizing the social construction of markets. Despite its success in the United States and elsewhere since its inception in the early 1980?s, economic sociology remains conspicuously absent from Canadian sociology. It is argued this may be in part to the dominance of a now emaciated ?Canadian political economy? paradigm rooted in historical Canadian economic subordination and dependency to the United States, the 1960?s student movement, and Marxist fervor that characterized much 1970?s social science. Canadian political economy distanced itself from mainstream sociology by focusing on issues of elite rule, class struggle and resistance. Today, the sophisticated and relatively militant neo-Marxist theorizing that characterized early political economy has given way to a ?softer?, less class-based political economy. Theories from economic sociologists are used to interpret these socially constructed ?markets of ideas.? The paper concludes by exploring future possibilities for the study of economy and society in Canada, and in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

POLITICAL psychology , *VOTING , *FEDERAL government ,CANADIAN politics & government - Abstract
While the causes of declining political trust have been investigated extensively in the literature, much less empirical effort has been devoted to the study of its political consequences. This paper focuses on the decline of trust in Canada during the period 1984-1993, and on its effect on Canadian voting behavior. We build upon Hetherington’s (1999) work to explore the impact of political trust on the vote and on abstention in a multiparty electoral context. Multinominal logit estimations are performed using individual-level survey data from three Canadian federal elections. While distrust is shown to significantly affect electoral participation, thus acting as an alienating factor, the results indicate that decreasing trust acts more as a motivation to support third-party alternatives. The study further demonstrates that in a multiple party setting, "old-line" major parties electorally suffer from declining political trust, but some third parties benefit more from this phenomenon than others. In particular, the transition from a three- to a five-party system in the 1993 Canadian election and the Reform Party’s efforts to attract support from distrustful voters seem to have eroded the New Democrats? role as a vehicle of distrust.

It has been well documented that forms of media help create new communities, such as the public sphere and the nation. However, the origin of one major political institution has rarely been considered in this light: the political party. This paper brings together the theory on early party formation in North America and the theory on mediated communities to argue that the first public political organizations in Canada, which resembled modern parties in many ways, should be seen as constituted by the media. The paper presents the case of Upper Canada (1820–1841) where newspaper distribution linked partisans into new communities, and editors and politicians ‘imagined’ new political communities in the pages of their newspapers. Modern political parties should thus be seen as essentially mediated communities. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

RCMP executives and the Canadian government promoted community justice forums (family group conferences) in the late 1990s. They did so because CJFs offered a process consistent with the national community-policing strategy. When this strategy changed, executives cut their support for the program. This paper argues that this “rise” and “fall” was a function of the program's theoretical and procedural alignment with shifting strategies of national governance. This raises a question about the role of restorative forums in Canadian governance. If such programs remain desirable, multi-agency forums (police, public schools, child welfare, immigration) may well align with the nascent governmental framework of public safety interoperability. The paper also considers another possibility: non-state local peacemaking forums. The conclusion discusses potential benefits and limits of these possibilities. It also offers general theoretical observations on the role of alignment in governmental programming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, neoliberal governments embarked on austerity programs that include reducing public services, imposing public sector wage restraint, and reorganizing public sector working conditions and labour relations. In this context of economic crisis and austerity, populism has risen across North America and Europe on both the right and left of the political spectrum. The rise of right populism in particular confronts unions with key organizational and strategic challenges as neoliberal governments seek to mobilize right populist discourses in their efforts to restructure work and labour relations. Using a socio-geographic framework, and based on an examination of post-2008 legislative and policy measures undertaken at the federal, provincial, municipal levels in Canada, this paper explores the nexus between 'uneven austerity', rising populism, and union strategic capacities. We examine this intersection of austerity and populism at multiple scales to reveal the implications for organized labour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

30. WHICH POLICY ISSUES MATTER IN CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES? A SURVEY OF MUNICIPAL POLITICIANS.

Whether it's a big city or a small town, all Canadian municipalities have core issues that their elected politicians are concerned about. Regardless of size, the daily business of a municipality must be managed and policies determined about such bread-and-butter issues as garbage collection, snow removal, wastewater and sewage, fire protection, economic development and fixing potholes. However, when size increases, so do the layers of issues that engage municipal politicians. This paper examines the results of a cross-Canada survey of more than 1,000 mayors and councillors from communities ranging in population size from 5,000 to more than two million. With an increase in population size, the numbers and complexity of issues creep up as well. Tiny municipalities typically aren't concerned with issues such as immigrant settlement, homelessness and public transit. Those issues are much more pressing for larger municipalities. A focus on some types of issues, such as public transit, grows right alongside population growth. The physical size of large municipalities means they contain a population whose needs are naturally more diverse than they are in smaller cities, towns and villages, thus shifting politicians' concerns to such things as homelessness and climate change. However, issues such as relations with Indigenous people and climate change also tend to hold regional, not just municipal, importance. They may be extremely important to a small municipality because of its geographic location and less important in a larger municipality located elsewhere. For example, municipal politicians in British Columbia reflect regional concerns with their emphasis in the survey on the importance of tackling homelessness, affordable housing, climate change and Indigenous relations. Yet, next door in Alberta, Indigenous relations and climate change ranked in the survey as being of low importance, along with climate change, despite the presence of two cities in the province with populations hovering around the million mark. The number one issue for municipalities regardless of size is economic development, since job creation and attracting investment are key for a healthy municipality regardless of its location or size. And nearly every politician surveyed listed planning, water supply and transportation infrastructure (roads, highways and bridges) as being of deep importance to their communities. Of almost equal importance in the survey were a second slate of issues including emergency planning, parks and recreation, public health, solid waste removal and policing. The results of this survey are intended to lay the groundwork for future researchers who want to focus on specific problems in the area of urban policy-making. Those who want to study the bread-and-butter issues can do so among a wide range and size of municipalities, knowing that these issues are vital to all. Those with an interest in homelessness and immigrant populations can focus on the big cities while being assured they are not missing out on key points among smaller communities. This survey will be highly beneficial for researchers in urban policy issues as it will help them to decide where to look and exactly what to look for. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given tile changes in the economic context of the 1990s and the ensuing fiscal restraints exercised by both government mid the private sector, amateur spoil organizations are in a period of high uncertainty. in order to deal with this uncertainty, links between organizations like governments, nonprofit port organizations, and private sector organizations need to be established, fostered, and maintained. Organizations need to collaborate with each other in order to fulfill their objectives. Linkages between organizations will assist in the sharing of resources and in the coordination of work-related activities, in the paper, a number of examples of existing links between governments, nonprofit organizations, and private organizations are presented. Based on resource dependency theory, strategies such as contracts, joint ventures, and co-optation for establishing new interorganizational linkages are discussed. As well, related issues such us power struggles, loss of autonomy, asymmetrical relationships, and conflicting loyalties are addressed and discussed. Questions for future research also are proposed.

The Canadian government promotes âglobal citizenshipâ through a number of Canadian foreign policy commitments. For example, in 2005, then-Prime Minister Paul Martin, announced Canadaâs International Policy Statement (IPS) and in it, the term global citizenship is a frequent, yet undefined, concept. Another example of Canadaâs commitment to global citizenship is the announcement in February 2004 of Canada Corps â" now part of the Office of Democratic Governance â" as an opportunity for Canadians of all ages to participate in global citizenship and institution-building around the world. One of the key features of Canada Corps is a focus on young people. According to the Minister for International Cooperation (then Aileen Carroll), this program will allow youth to âgain valuable international experienceâ and âbecome more engaged globally.â In the past decade, the Canadian International Development Agency and the Department of Foreign Affairs have invested substantial resources for the creation of volunteer/internship opportunities for young Canadians. This paper examines youth internship abroad experiences in the context of Canadian foreign policy and perceptions of âglobal citizenship,â inquiring into how young Canadians abroad comprise part of Canadaâs foreign policy and international development agenda and also what impact (in foreign policy terms) these young Canadians feel they have through their experiences. Drawing on e-journals and interviews, understandings of global citizenship are analysed. The findings suggest that the term âglobal citizenshipâ is used frequently and vaguely by Canadian youth and in Canadian foreign policy documents suggesting that it a superficial and empty term. This study can further our understanding of Canadaâs foreign policy mandate and its prospects for promoting global justice through youth internships. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper takes up the challenge of studying representational dynamics with reference to feminist and anti-feminist movements outside the United States, and of examining participation in contexts other than legislatures. It considers claims-making by women party elites in Canada, where the political landscape has featured both organized feminism and anti-feminism since the early 1970s and mid-1980s, respectively. In particular, the study examines the public campaign statements of candidates for the leadership of major federal parties in the period 1975 through 2006, paying close attention to relations between these positions, on one side, and the changing fortunes of feminist and anti-feminist movements, on the other. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CONSTITUENTS (Persons) , *LEGISLATORS , *REPRESENTATIVE government ,CANADIAN politics & government - Abstract
This paper examines relationships between constituency characteristics and individual legislators' behavior in a parliamentary system, drawing on an exhaustive dataset of over 43,000 oral questions in the Canadian House of Commons (from 1983 to 2004), combined with data on constituency-level demographics and electoral outcomes. In doing so, it applies some of the theories developed in the US roll call voting literature to another country, and another policy venue (Question Period). Analyses use both demographics and voting as proxies for constituency policy preferences. Both approaches yield evidence of dyadic representation, an important finding given the party-focused tone of the existing Canadian literature. Models using electoral results also provide evidence that 'electoral pressure' increases MPs' representation of constituency preferences. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reports on research exploring the contribution to social policy of social economy organizations (SEOs) in Atlantic Canada. Of particular interest is whether SEOs and government are engaged in what we have termed 'reciprocal relationships,' through inclusive, cross-sector alliances linked to improved policy planning and decision-making. Initial findings suggest that reciprocity of relationships between government and SEOs to enhance policy solutions and service provision is not yet fully realized and that SEOs remain structurally marginalized in the design and implementation of policy. The paper points to investment in appropriate support mechanisms to make government-SEO alliances meaningful and more durable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reports on an integrated research program involving three related studies that examined successful foresight programs. It analyzes the key factors that appear to determine whether or not foresight, once launched by a government, can be successful. The study was performed by a team of researchers in Canada in the period 2005-2007. It found eight key factors, beyond the usual ones associated with the application of leading edge methods. The overall conclusion is that the methodology, appropriate budget and techniques alone are insufficient factors to explain the success of foresight programs. The interview results indicate that success is ultimately defined as the impact of the foresight exercise on government policy, and as the growth of the foresight function. Taken together, the results should help organizations establish the parameters for a successful foresight program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research on climate change policy and politics has become increasingly focused on the actions and influence of subnational governments. In North America, this attention has been particularly focused on why subnational governments have taken action in the absence of national leadership, what effect action might have on future national climate policy, and whether the collective action of networks of municipal governments are reshaping and challenging the character of national and global climate governance. This paper examines Canadian municipal climate in light of the absence of a comprehensive and effective climate national strategy. The paper considers various reasons why local governments in Canada have not been central players in national plans, and why their actions have not been more influential nationally. The paper argues that the potential influence of Canadian municipalities on national climate policy is weak, given the loose nature of the network and the long-held structural view that municipalities are not significant units of political analysis in national political and policy debates. The paper concludes by considering the constraints and opportunities of subnational climate networks and municipal network analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents a geographical and historical overview of the Territory Nunavut (Canada) established in 1999 and inhabited by a majority of Inuit People. The author outlines the process that led to the conclusion of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement and the current structure of the government of Nunavut, which can best be described as a form of Inuit self-government. Th e main objective of the paper consists in an overview and analysis of current socio-economic challenges faced by the government of Nunavut. Based on the visions of the Bathurst Mandate, the author attempts to assess the success of the ‘Nunavut Project’. The author concludes that because of Nunavut's weak economy and fi scal dependency on the central federal government of Canada, the numerous socio-economic challenges have not been resolved. The Nunavut experiment has not yet been proven a success. The prosperous vision, expressed through the Bathurst Mandate, of a viable Nunavut seems for now just an illusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews Canada's market-based childcare 'system' and considers its capacity to deliver universal services. Canada mainly relies on parent-controlled centres for delivery, in the near absence of publicly-provided services. Canadian childcare is characterized by frustrated national and provincial policy capacity, a high degree of commercial childcare, inequities in service distribution, and the burdening of parent-users (particularly mothers). This form of co-production poses considerable problems for the federal government, which has recently declared its intention to build a national system of early learning and care. The policy architecture makes a national system of early learning and childcare structurally unobtainable. This gap between political vision and local feasibility is explained through an analysis of service delivery, management and policy development. The paper concludes that co-production must shift if Canada is to implement a universal early learning and childcare program, but warns such change does not appear to be forthcoming.

Are voters willing to punish a prime minister for calling an ‘unnecessary’ snap election for purely opportunistic reasons? This paper examines voters’ reactions to the Canadian prime minister's decision to call a snap election in November 2000. The decision provoked limited resentment, and that resentment was strongest among partisans of the opposition parties and among those who follow politics closely. Those who do not keep up with politics, it seems, either did not realize that the election was precipitous or simply did not care. The paper shows that resentment about the election call was a consideration in vote choice, but it was a decisive consideration for a very small group of voters. We estimate that the electoral cost to the incumbent Liberal Party was one percentage point. Some voters are prepared to punish prime ministers for opportunistically calling a snap election, but in this case the electoral penalty was small. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABORIGINAL Canadians , *PROPERTY rights ,CANADIAN politics & government - Abstract
This paper examines governmental policies surrounding issues of land and territory in the context of reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and the Canadian state. It traces not only a committed effort during Stephen Harper's tenure as Prime Minister to establish private property regimes on Aboriginal reserves, but also the creation of a policy framework surrounding land, energy infrastructure, and treaty rights which radiate with eliminatory rationalities. The paper argues that these logics not only undercut Indigenous jurisdictions and territorial claims in favour of existing constitutional structures and non-Aboriginal economic interests, but also serve to represent Aboriginal peoples as "Canadians" seeking forms of integration into the broader social and economic structures of settler society. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates that conservative discourses surrounding "marketization" and "reconciliation" have worked in tandem to dispossess Indigenous peoples and sustain the legal, social, and territorial boundaries of the Canadian state. It concludes by questioning the extent to which the newly elected Liberal government under Justin Trudeau will truly embrace Indigenous understandings of non-exploitative territorial relationships and responsibilities, or whether it will continue the policy trajectory strengthened by the Harper Conservatives of treating Indigenous territories as settler-colonial sites of unrealized economic potential for the benefit, and protection, of the larger "Canadian" nation.
