  • Selecting Selinger: the 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗
    Selecting Selinger: The 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗ Jared J. Wesley, University of Manitoba [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Abstract In a delegated convention held in October, 2009, the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP) selected former Finance Minister Greg Selinger to replace Canada's longest-serving and most popular premier, Gary Doer. Official appeals filed by the victor’s chief rival, Steve Ashton, and persistent criticism of the process in the media raised significant concerns over the method by which the new premier was selected. These complaints proved a fleeting fixation of the media, and have not harmed the NDP’s popularity or affected the smooth transition of the premiership from Doer to Selinger. Yet, questions persist as to whether the 2009 leadership race marked the last delegated convention in the history of the Manitoba New Democratic Party. This paper examines the 2009 leadership race in the context of contests past, analyzing the list of criticisms directed at the process. Grounding its findings in the comments of delegates to the 2009 Convention, it concludes with a series of probable choices for the party, as it begins the process of considering reforms to its leadership selection process. Leading contenders for adoption include a pure one-member, one-vote system and a modified version similar to that of the federal NDP. ∗ Funding for the 2009 Manitoba NDP Convention Study was provided by the Faculty of Arts, Duff Roblin Professorship, and Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Politics and Governance.

  • “Just Doing What Needs to Be Done:” Rural Women's Everyday
    “Just doing what needs to be done:” Rural Women’s Everyday Peacebuilding on the Prairies by Jessica Robin Neustaeter A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Peace and Conflict Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 Jessica Robin Neustaeter ABSTRACT Usually bubbling under the surface of the ordinary everyday routines of life, women’s volunteering in their communities, helping out and just doing what needs to be done, represent a significant phenomenon in sustaining and developing human life and civilization. Embedded within their everyday community action is a dialectical learning and cognitive praxis which informs their situated public care practice. Grassroots peacebuilding is dependent on the efforts of volunteers. As well, volunteering itself is a means for building social cohesion, solidarity and trust—factors fundamental to sustainable development and peace. Rural women’s community involvement is situated within the everyday of their diverse communities. There is diversity both within and between rural communities; as well rural women represent a diverse group in regards to age, race, class, ethnicity, language, marital and family status, ability, and religion. Blending participant observation and in-depth interviewing, this ethnographic study explored rural women’s community involvement practice and learning in South-Central Manitoba. This study invited women from across the region; representing a mix of age, race, education, ability, ethnicity, religion and areas of involvement, to share their stories of being involved in their communities. Their narratives revealed a rich story of women’s peacebuilding for individual and community wellbeing fitting into a tradition of rural women’s community development.

  • Bipole III and Keeyask
    ECONOMIC REVIEW OF Bipole III and Keeyask Brad Wall Commissioner November 2020 VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 VOLUME 5 VOLUME 6 About This Report This report is based on public documents from the Public Utilities Board and the Clean Environment Commission; internal reviews performed by Manitoba Hydro; documents from Manitoba Hydro and the Government Manitoba; and interviews and/or written submissions of past and present Manitoba Hydro executives, Government of Manitoba current and retired elected members, Government of Manitoba staff, and other stakeholders in the genesis, project plan development, approval and construction of the Keeyask Generating Station and Bipole III Transmission Line and Converter Stations. Evidence cited in this report is noted from the actual documents attached to this report (see Appendix A). Where the actual document cannot be released for reasons of either commercial sensitivity or Cabinet confidentiality, the document is identified and evidence cited in context. The documents identified in the report do not represent every document that was reviewed and considered by the Commission. Access to Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board minutes, internal Manitoba Hydro memorandums, and Cabinet and Cabinet Committee agendas and minutes was a key element of this review and though some of it cannot be released in total, the insights gained were worthy of the limited ability to publish them in their entirety. Interviews were conducted on a non-attributable basis. As a forward-looking report with a focus on the recommendations for future projects of this type, the Commissioner determined that full disclosure was more important than attribution. As such, verbatim transcripts were not made of conversations with the many stakeholders and individuals involved in the projects to identify gaps in organization structure, information flow, and influences on decisions.

  • 'It's Not That the Tories Are Closer in Winnipeg, 1945-1999
    'It's not that the Tories are closer to God, they're furthest from the Devil': Polities and Mennonf tes in Winnipeg, 1945-1999 Joe Friesen, Ryerson University What were the political attitudes of Mennonites in Winnipeg in the latter half of the twentieth century? Had they become increasingly involved in partisan politics?Is there a discernible pattern in Mennonite electoral behaviour during that era? There were still some groups of Mennonites who refused to deal in the affairs of politics and government because they believed it was not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. Conversely, some Mennonites chose to become very involved politically. Many successfully stood for public office and held positions in government. Others became politically active in different ways. Some joined unions and took leading roles. Mennonite businessmen sat on the side of management in labour relations negotiations. Church members served with the Mennonite Central Committee, pursuing peace initiatives. The community in general expressed its concern for political issues in the pages of the Mennonite press. Through the use of interviews, poll analysis and community newspapers this paper will discuss the entrance of Mennonites into 176 Journal of Mennonite Studies Manitoba's political conversation during the second half of the twentieth century. During the time under survey, approximately one third of Mennonites in Winnipeg belonged to Conference of Mennonites of Canada (also known as General Conference or GC) churches. Another third belonged to Mennonite Brethren (MB) churches and most of the rest belonged to the Evangelical Mennonite Conference (EMC) and Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference (EMMC) .I These distinctions first began appearing in nineteenth century Russia and continued forming in the first half of the twentieth century in Canada.
