New Relationships, Old Certainties: Australia's Reconciliation and Treaty New relationships, old certainties: Australia’s reconciliation and treaty-making in British Columbia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Ravindra Noel John de Costa Institute for Social Research, Swinburne University of Technology April 2002 Abstract This thesis investigates the search for new relationships between indigenous and settler peoples in Australia and Canada. Both reconciliation and the treaty-making process in British Columbia are understood as attempts to build such relationships. Yet these are policies that have arisen in response to the persistence of indigenous claims for recognition of rights and respect for identity. Consequently, I consider what the purpose of new relationships might be: is the creation of new relationships to be the means by which settlers recognise and respect indigenous rights and identities, or is there some other goal? To answer this, I analyse the two policies as the opening of negotiations over indigenous claims for recognition. That is, the opening of new political spaces in which indigenous people’s voices and claims may be heard. Reconciliation opened a space to rethink Australian attitudes to history and culture, to renegotiate Australian identity. Treaties in British Columbia primarily seek to renegotiate ownership and control of lands and resources. Both policies attempt to relegitimise the polities in which they operate, by making new relationships that provide for mutual recognition. However, the thesis establishes that these new spaces are not nearly as expansive or inclusive as they are made out to be. They are in fact defined by the internal struggles of settler society to make life more certain: to resume identities that are secure and satisfying, and to restore territorial control and economic security. This takes place with little regard for the legitimate claims of indigenous peoples to be recognised as people and to enjoy dynamic, flourishing identities of their own. Building new relationships becomes the path to entrenching old certainties. ii Acknowledgments Many people have provided assistance during the research and writing of this thesis. Foremost is Professor Alastair Davidson, whose support, encouragement and confidence in this work have been unstinting, even from afar. While a student at the Institute for Social Research, I enjoyed a working environment that any postgraduate would envy: for that I must thank Sue Kelman, Dr David Hayward and Professor Terry Burke. Dr Kathleen Weekley, Dr Denise Meredyth and Scott Ewing ensured the research was frequently social. The Canadian research would have been difficult to complete without a research grant from the International Council for Canadian Studies. While in British Columbia I was welcomed by Kathrine Richardson and Terry McGee of the Centre for Australian Studies at the University of British Columbia, who ensured that my time in Vancouver was stimulating and productive. Dave Kennedy at the British Columbia Treaty Commission was gracious with the Commission’s time and resources. There were many other people in British Columbia who provided advice and encouragement for this project. I was lucky to meet David Didluck of the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee and Rick Krehbiel of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, who both gave generously of their time and began dialogues with me about treaty-making in British Columbia that continue. The invitation of the Haisla people to help them raise their totem pole at Kitlope gave me an experience that put this thesis into perspective. All of the extended van den Driesen clan welcomed me and made the months in Vancouver anything but lonely; Jeremy insisted on showing me many lofty views of the city. My parents Caroline and Alan have always supported me and continue to do so. Tom Clark knows what the process of writing a thesis is all about: his friendship, aquavit and grammatical nous have been more than important. iii Declaration This is an original work based entirely on research I have conducted. None of the material herein has been submitted for the award of any other degree.

    Contents Ujjal Dosanjh: B.C.'s Indian-Born Premier In an attempt to hang onto power and to stage a comeback in the court of public opinion after the resignation of Glen Clark, the beleaguered NDP government of British Columbia picks Ujjal Dosanjh as party leader and premier. The former attorney general of the province was selected following a process that itself was not without controversy. As a Canadian pioneer, Dosanjh becomes the first Indian-born head of government in Canada. A role model as well, the new premier has traveled far to a nation that early in the 1900s restricted Indian immigration by an order-in-council. Ironically, Dosanjh, no stranger to controversy and personal struggle, is the grandson of a revolutionary who was jailed by the British during India s fight for independence.

RECOMMENDATION / ACTION: [All Directors – Corporate Weighted] That the Regional District purchase an annual subscription (10 issues) of the Composite Public Affairs newsletter for an amount of $87 including GST. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: I feel the newsletter is worthwhile for the Board’s reference. ATTACHMENTS: January 4, 2019 issue Dept. Head: CAO: Page 1 of 1 January 31, 2019 R-2 Composite Public Affairs Inc. January 4, 2019 Karen Goodings Peace River Regional District Box 810 Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4H8 Dear Karen, It is my pleasure to provide you with a complimentary issue of our new political newsletter, The Composite Advisor. British Columbia today is in the midst of an exciting political drama — one that may last for the next many months, or (as I believe) the next several years. At present, a New Democratic Party government led by Premier John Horgan and supported by Andrew Weaver's Green Party, holds a narrow advantage in the Legislative Assembly. And after 16 years in power, the long-governing BC Liberals now sit on the opposition benches with a relatively-new leader in Andrew Wilkinson. B.C.'s next general-election is scheduled for October 2021, almost three years from now, but as the old saying goes: 'The only thing certain, is uncertainty." (The best political quote in this regard may have been by British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan who, asked by a reporter what might transpire to change his government's course of action, replied: "Events, dear boy, events." New research suggests that MacMillan never said it — but it's still a great quote!) Composite Public Affairs Inc.

  • Politics and Public Automobile Insurance in British Columbia, 1970–2010
    Politics and Public Automobile Insurance in British Columbia, 1970–2010 Richard C. McCandless INTRODUCTION utomobile insurance encompasses many important aspects of living in a modern society. These include legal practices, medical Aservices, customer relationships, community involvement, and management theory. This review focuses on (1) the evolving political and financial relationship between the publicly owned Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (icbc) and provincial governments of various political philosophies over the four decades of its existence and (2) how icbc was often shaped by, and sometimes itself influenced, the politics of British Columbia. Today’s public auto insurance retains some of the original ideals of not allowing private corporations to profit from individual physical and financial loss resulting from automobile crashes. Yet it no longer attempts to provide low-cost auto insurance; rather, it more closely resembles a commercial operation providing profit for the government. Direct government control over rates has been replaced by indirect control through an intermediary body and cabinet orders. Despite attempts to depoliticize control over icbc, especially with regard to the setting of annual premiums, the current government has in many ways actually increased its control of icbc and has significantly altered its objective of providing low-cost insurance. THE EARLY YEARS In the late 1960s, high public dissatisfaction with the state of automobile insurance, particularly rising rates and poor service, led the Social Credit government of W.A.C. Bennett to establish a royal commission, chaired by Justice Robert Wootton of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, to review the situation. The commission’s report, completed bc studies, no.

    Escape into Nature: the Ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park by Marina J. La Salle M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2008 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Marina La Salle, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, an urban forest adjacent to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Using the tools of archaeology and anthropology, I analyse the history, landscape, performance, and discourse of the park to understand Pacific Spirit as a culturally-constructed place that embodies an ideology of imperialism. Central in this dynamic is the carefully crafted illusion of Pacific Spirit as a site of “nature,” placed in opposition to “culture,” which naturalizes the values that created and are communicated through the park and thereby neutralizes their politics. They remain, however, very political. The park as nature erases the history and heritage of the Indigenous peoples of this region, transforming Pacific Spirit into a new terra nullius—a site to be discovered and explored, militaristic themes that consistently underlie park programs and propaganda. These cultural tropes connect to produce a nationalistic settler narrative wherein class ideals of nature and community are evoked in the celebration of Canada’s history of colonialism and capitalist expansion—paradoxically, the very processes that have caused the fragmentation of communities and ecosystems. The park as nature also feeds into the portrayal of this space as having been saved from development and, as such, an environmental triumph.
