  • The NDP's Approach to Constitutional Issues Has Not Been Electorally
    Constitutional Confusion on the Left: The NDP’s Position in Canada’s Constitutional Debates Murray Cooke [email protected] First Draft: Please do not cite without permission. Comments welcome. Paper prepared for the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, June 2004, Winnipeg The federal New Democratic Party experienced a dramatic electoral decline in the 1990s from which it has not yet recovered. Along with difficulties managing provincial economies, the NDP was wounded by Canada’s constitutional debates. The NDP has historically struggled to present a distinctive social democratic approach to Canada’s constitution. Like its forerunner, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the NDP has supported a liberal, (English-Canadian) nation-building approach that fits comfortably within the mainstream of Canadian political thought. At the same time, the party has prioritized economic and social polices rather than seriously addressing issues such as the deepening of democracy or the recognition of national or regional identities. Travelling without a roadmap, the constitutional debates of the 80s and 90s proved to be a veritable minefield for the NDP. Through three rounds of mega- constitutional debate (1980-82, 1987-1990, 1991-1992), the federal party leadership supported the constitutional priorities of the federal government of the day, only to be torn by disagreements from within. This paper will argue that the NDP’s division, lack of direction and confusion over constitution issues can be traced back to longstanding weaknesses in the party’s social democratic theory and strategy. First of all, the CCF- NDP embraced rather than challenged the parameters and institutions of liberal democracy.

  • FEBRUARY 2003 Graham Fraser
    THE NDP LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE—RE-CONNECTING THE LEFT TO THE MIDDLE In the run-up to the NDP leadership vote on January 25, party activists faced a difficult choice between two apparent front runners, the well known face of NDP House Leader Bill Blaikie of Manitoba, and Toronto city councillor Jack Layton, an interesting new face with national credentials as president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. While Blaikie represents the party’s deep roots in the West and the co-operative movement, Layton represents the possibility of taking the NDP back into the cities and union towns of southern Ontario, where it was strong during the era of Ed Broadbent from 1975-1988, a highwater mark in NDP history. Toronto Star columnist Graham Fraser, widely acclaimed for his books on Canadian politics, offers this situational update on a party confronting an agonizing choice. Graham Fraser En prévision du scrutin à la direction du Nouveau Parti Démocratique du 25 janvier, les militants font face à un choix difficile entre les deux candidats les plus en vue : le Manitobain Bill Blaikie, leader du NPD à la Chambre des communes, et Jack Layton, conseiller municipal de la ville de Toronto et un temps président de la Fédération canadienne des municipalités. Un premier visage très connu, donc, et un second qui gagne à l’être. Si Blaikie représente le profond enracinement du parti dans l’Ouest du pays et le mouvement coopératif, Layton incarne pour sa part l’espoir de lui rendre la popularité dont il jouissait dans les grands centres et les villes ouvrières du sud de l’Ontario, où le NPD a connu une période historiquement fastueuse sous le règne d’Ed Broadbent, de 1975 à 1988.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • In the Running Globe and Mail News Coverage of Female and Male Candidates for the Leadership of the New Democratic Party of Canada, 1975-2012
    In the Running Globe and Mail News Coverage of Female and Male Candidates for the Leadership of the New Democratic Party of Canada, 1975-2012 Linda Trimble, Shannon Sampert, Angelia Wagner, Daisy Raphael and Bailey Gerrits ABSTRACT Does newspaper coverage of competitive female and male party leadership candidates reflect gendered norms and assumptions? Our paper answers this question by analyzing Globe and Mail reporting of the five New Democratic Party of Canada leadership contests held between 1975 and 2012. We compare news visibility and framing of comparable female and male candidates and determine whether or not female candidates have been disadvantaged because of their sex. Longitudinal data allow us to examine changes over time and assess the indirect impact of women’s increased presence in electoral politics and party leadership roles on their media portrayals. Our analysis of 315 Globe and Mail stories about the NDP leadership contests found fewer differences than was anticipated, especially with respect to public and private framing. However, there were notable differences in news visibility and in the application of gender markers to the first two women who challenged the NDP leadership, Rosemary Brown and Audrey McLaughlin, compared to male competitors or equivalents. 2 Introduction Does newspaper coverage of competitive female and male party leadership candidates reflect gendered norms and assumptions? Our paper answers this question by analyzing Globe and Mail reporting of the five New Democratic Party of Canada leadership contests held between 1975 and 2012. The New Democratic Party (NDP) was chosen for this study because it has been a path-breaker when it comes to selecting women as candidates and party leaders.

  • The Amending Process in Canada
    CUTTING THE GORDIAN KNOT: THE AMENDING PROCESS IN CANADA W. H. McCONNELL* I INTRODUCTION According to Machiavelli: "There is nothing more difficult to arrange, more doubtful of success, and more dangerous," than making changes in a country's constitution.' The foresight of the sixteenth-century Florentine theorist of state- craft was once more demonstrated as nine English-speaking premiers and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre-Elliott Trudeau reached a jagged accommoda- tion on November 5, 1981, patriating the Canadian Constitution with an 2 amending formula and rights charter after more than a year of bitter controversy. No sooner was the November Fifth Accord concluded than spokesmen for the predominantly French-speaking Province of Quebec, as well as for the women's and the native groups, who were not consulted and did not concur with the ulti- mate accommodation, severely criticized the result. 3 As part of the compromise, a "legislative supremacy" clause was inserted in section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) enabling either Parliament or the provinces to over- ride in their respective laws the guarantee against discrimination based on sex and other "equality" rights in section 15 (as well as "fundamental freedoms" in section 2 and "legal rights" in sections 7 to 14). For several days in November, the pro- posed guarantee in section 35 of aboriginal rights for Indians, M~tis and Inuit was removed entirely, largely at the insistence of Alberta's Premier Lougheed who saw native land claims as conflicting with mineral development in a province which was experiencing a resource boom.
