Anderson Assistant Professor Department of Political Science The University of Western Ontario London, CA [email protected] Josh Morgan PhD Student Recruitment and Development Officer Local Government Program Department of Political Science The University of Western Ontario London, CA [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, Waterloo, CA, May 2011. 2 Introduction Voting is a core right of citizens in a democracy and often the only political act for most of the electorate. Given the centrality of voting to empower legitimate democratic authority, the objective of elucidating why citizens vote the way they do has resulted in a large sub-field of political science that is concerned with assessing the impulses of voters in democracies the world over. While this collective interest has fostered a great many studies of voting behaviour in federal and provincial elections in Canada, there remains an evident gap in our comparable understanding of electoral behaviour at the local government level in Canada. As Sancton recently noted: “the harsh reality is that we know very little about the municipal voting behaviour in Canada” (2011, 193). While we do not endeavour to fill this entire omission, this paper represents a sustained effort to explore how one factor- economic conditions - influences local-level electoral behaviour in Canada. In the analyses which follow, we test the key proposition underlying economic voting theory at the local level in Canada. Briefly, the theory of economic voting suggests that incumbent office holders are more (less) likely to be re-elected when the economy is doing well (poorly).

As you're aware, CBC/Radio-Canada has been asked to contribute to the government's Deficit Reduction Action Plan (DRAP). To minimize the need for programming reductions, CBC/Radio-Canada took a close look at the effect that the evolution of technology has had on the services it currently provides. Over-the-air television in Canada has been in steep decline for years. Today, 95 percent of Canadians get their television from cable and satellite companies. Given this trend, over-the-air can no longer be considered as an efficient way of distributing television signals to Canadians. As a result, the Corporation will shut down all of its 620 analogue transmitters at the end of July, including the one located in London. The measure will result in over $10 million of annual savings for CBC/Radio-Canada by 2013-2014. CBC/Radio-Canada has installed a digital transmitter for every one of its television stations, for a tolal of 27 transmitters.

Each voter should inform themselves on each candidate in their Ward, try to attend a Ward debate and question each candidate on the issues that concern you. Here is my take on the Ward elections. WARD 1 This race is interesting with three well qualified and politically experienced candidates. Melanie O’Brien is a new comer to public elections but has extensive political experience due to the fact she worked for Federal Member of Parliament Irene Mathysen. She does not support BRT in its current form because it does not adequately serve the residents of Ward 1. Bud Pohill, who was defeated by Michael Van Holst in the 2014 election is returning for a rematch. Pohill has served 16 years as councilor and 10 years of Board of Control. He was defeated in 2014 to a large extent because he was associated with the “Fontana 8” who held secret meetings before City Council meetings that were found to be illegal and violations of the Ontario Municipal Act by the Ontario Ombudsman. Even after the Ombudsman ruled that these meetings, which included a quorum of City Council, were illegal the “Fontana 8” were caught holding another meeting.
