Publications in this series look at the intricate relations among marketing strategy, the media, and political actors and explain how they affect Canadian democracy. They also investigate inter connected themes such as strategic communication, mediatization, opinion research, electioneering, political management, public policy, and e-politics in a Canadian context and in comparison to other countries. Designed as a coherent and consolidated space for diffusion of research about Canadian political communication, the series promotes an interdisciplinary, multi-method, and theoretically pluralistic approach.

The editors wish to thank all of them for their investment in this project. Inside the Campaign: Managing Elections in Canada exists because of a major commitment from UBC Press. Previously, it produced the digital publication Canadian Election Analysis 2015: Communica­ tion, Strategy, and Democracy featuring fifty-seven short contributions from sixty-six academics, students, and journalists. The publication was publicly available just three weeks after election day. Building on the success of that venture, UBC Press committed to produce a book that combines traditional academic formats with public en- gagement. In addition to rethinking its normal production process in order to fast-track publication – such as commissioning a book cover before the chapters were drafted – the Press boldly agreed to publish both a conventional peer-reviewed printed book and an open access publication. Aside from the obvious financial implica- tions, this involved new ways of thinking about chapters to ensure that the content travels as stand-alone documents and identifying new ways to publicize them. The editors, participants, and ultim- ately readers are indebted to the willingness of UBC Press to sup- port this venture, in particular Megan Brand, Laraine Coates, Kerry Kilmartin, Nadine Pedersen, Melissa Pitts, and Randy Schmidt. Thank you to Kimberley Devlin

Selecting Women to Lead Provincial Parties in Government By Melanee Thomas Associate Professor Department of Political Science University of Calgary 2500 University Drive NW Calgary, AB T2N 1N4 Abstract: The majority of Canada’s women premiers were selected to that office while their parties held government. This is uncommon, both in the comparative literature and amongst premiers who are men. What explains this gendered selection pattern to Canada’s provincial premiers’ offices? This paper explores the most common explanation found in the comparative literature for women’s emergence as leaders of electorally competitive parties and as chief political executives: women are more likely to be selected when that party is in crisis or decline. Using the population of women provincial premiers in Canada as case studies, evidence suggests 3 of 8 women premiers were selected to lead parties in government that were in crisis or decline; a fourth was selected to lead a small, left-leaning party as predicted by the literature.

  • New Federal Health Minister: Cabinet Shuffle Recap By: Grant Burns, Public Affairs and Communications Manager
    Be in the Know with OBIO… New Federal Health Minister: Cabinet Shuffle Recap By: Grant Burns, Public Affairs and Communications Manager As part of a federal cabinet shuffle announced on Monday, August 28, Canada’s Minister of Health is now Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Member of Parliament from the riding of Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe in New Brunswick. In total, six MPs had their portfolios changed, addressing two issues for the federal government: 1. The Ministry of Indigenous & Northern Affairs was split in two: the previous Minister of Health, Jane Philpott, will now take over the new Ministry of Indigenous Services and Carolyn Bennett will remain responsible for the Ministry of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs. To replace Minister Philpott at Health, it is noteworthy that Ginette Petitpas Taylor was promoted from outside cabinet, where she had been serving as Parliamentary Secretary to Minster of Finance. 2. To fill the vacancy in the Ministry of Public Services & Procurement caused by Min Judy Foote stepping down last week, Carla Qualtrough was promoted from the Ministry of Sport & Persons with Disabilities. To replace her, Kent Hehr was moved out of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and he was replaced by Seamus O’Regan, who had been the Associate Minister, National Defence.

  • 2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results
    2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results August 2019 2 Overview In Canada, we count seats, not vote. Just like in American Presidential elections, you can win the popular vote and lose the election. In fact, that happened to Justin Trudeau’s father in 1979. The general way analysts address that is to look at seats by region. However, seats in the same region can move differently. This release tries to get closer to reality in the seat-by-seat contest. Our analysis combines two projects: • An analysis of federal election districts (which we call “seats”) that groups them into 14 clusters based on which parties are most competitive in those seats. Given the shifting dynamics of Canada’s party system, we have relied on only the results of the past two elections. However, to assess where the parties stand in these 14 seat clusters, we need a lot of data. • A merge of the most recent three national surveys that include federal votes, creating a unweighted total of 7,555 respondents and a weighted total of 4,900. In each of our surveys, we collect postal codes. That allows us to create a riding variable for almost all our respondents and to group their responses by the riding they are in. The deck below shows the output from the analysis. The key finding is that, with the NDP in the doldrums, the Liberals are in a strong position coming into the race. Not only have they cemented their hold on last elections core seats, they may be able to gain seats to offsets the losses they will likely experience in the Toronto and Vancouver suburbs and Atlantic Canada.
