A Tribute to Tradition THE UNIVERSITY OF LETHBRIDGE FEBRUARY, 2002 VOLUME According to Blackfoot legend - Old Man created the pronghorn on the slopes of the Rockies, but when he turned the animal loose, he saw its great speed hindered by the rocks and fallen timber of the mountains.

The difference of a single word – welfare versus work – led through selected events in the history of social work where similar differences led to disputes about important matters. The themes of the dispute are embedded in the Western Tradition with the emergence of social work and its development at the focal point for addressing the consequences described as a ‘painful disorientation generated at the intersections where cultural values clash.’ In early 1966, the University of Calgary was selected as the site for Alberta’s graduate level social work program following a grant and volunteers from the Calgary Junior League.

  • The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns
    Choice or Consensus?: The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns Jared J. Wesley PhD Candidate Department of Political Science University of Calgary Paper for Presentation at: The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan May 30, 2007 Comments welcome. Please do not cite without permission. CHOICE OR CONSENSUS?: THE 2006 FEDERAL LIBERAL AND ALBERTA CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGNS INTRODUCTION Two of Canada’s most prominent political dynasties experienced power-shifts on the same weekend in December 2006. The Liberal Party of Canada and the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta undertook leadership campaigns, which, while different in context, process and substance, produced remarkably similar outcomes. In both instances, so-called ‘dark-horse’ candidates emerged victorious, with Stéphane Dion and Ed Stelmach defeating frontrunners like Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae, Jim Dinning, and Ted Morton. During the campaigns and since, Dion and Stelmach have been labeled as less charismatic than either their predecessors or their opponents, and both of the new leaders have drawn skepticism for their ability to win the next general election.1 This pair of surprising results raises interesting questions about the nature of leadership selection in Canada. Considering that each race was run in an entirely different context, and under an entirely different set of rules, which common factors may have contributed to the similar outcomes? The following study offers a partial answer. In analyzing the platforms of the major contenders in each campaign, the analysis suggests that candidates’ strategies played a significant role in determining the results. Whereas leading contenders opted to pursue direct confrontation over specific policy issues, Dion and Stelmach appeared to benefit by avoiding such conflict.

My mother was the one who raised me, because my father was a very sick man, and died of heart trouble when I was 13 or so. My mother always said it was with him selling newspapers when he was a kid, getting wet and contracting rheumatic fever. He died when I was about 13, so mother looked after us - for a long time before that. She was really the mainstay of the family. I've got a brother who’s 10 years older than me, and t a sister, who’s 12 years and another who’s 4 years older, and another who’s two years older. I was the baby of the family.

  • Party Competition in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba
    CODE POLITICS: PARTY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT ON THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES Jared J. Wesley Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba [email protected] For Presentation at: The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario Please do not cite without permission. May 29, 2009 Abstract Similar in so many ways, questions persist as to why Canada’s three Prairie Provinces have developed such distinct patterns of party competition. Right-wing dynasties thrive in Alberta; Saskatchewan’s natural governing party is avowedly social democratic; while party politics in Manitoba remains relatively balanced between the forces of the right and left. This paper supplements conventional solutions to this “prairie paradox” - grounded in political culture and settlement patterns - with an ideational analysis of campaign narratives. This examination reveals that each system is focused around a unique provincial “code.” In Alberta, Social Credit and Progressive Conservative leaders have emphasized “freedom” over “security,” whereas New Democrats in Saskatchewan have stressed precisely the opposite. Successful politicians in Manitoba have steered a middling course, underscoring the importance of “moderation” in their campaign rhetoric. Cultivated by, and constraining, prominent leaders over time, these dominant discourses help explain the persistent differences between the three worlds of party competition in the region. Introduction Considering their many commonalities, the three Prairie Provinces ought to feature similar patterns of party competition. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are each separated by essentially artificial boundaries, their borders based on arbitrary longitudinal lines, rather than topographic or ethnic divisions (Elton, 1970). All three are associated with a common iconic landscape: one with vast stretches of prairie, bounded only by mountains to the West and the Canadian Shield to the East.

  • Hegemony Secured: Social Credit and the Crippling of the Alberta Left, 1935- 1971
    Hegemony Secured: Social Credit and the Crippling of the Alberta Left, 1935- 1971 Mack Penner HIST 4995: Undergraduate Thesis Supervisors: Dr. Kristine Alexander, Dr. Lynn Kennedy April 19, 2017 1 Introduction Even after the election of a New Democratic Party (NDP) government in 2015, both scholarly and non-scholarly narratives about Alberta’s political culture often exclusively emphasize an intransigent and long-standing tradition of conservatism. Alberta is spoken of as a place with a “distinctly conservative political character” where successful political campaigns speak to favoured conservative themes of laissez-faire economics, individualism, and provincial autonomy.1 These types of assessments, which focus on the second half of the twentieth century, often obscure the reality that there once did exist a flourishing reformist, and even radical, political culture in the province. Indeed, during the 1920s and 30s Alberta was the site of a number of remarkable movements and moments in Canadian left history. Most notable among these were the election and governance of the United Farmers of Alberta from 1921 to 1935, the founding of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in Calgary in 1932, and the election of Canada’s first Communist town council in Blairmore in 1933. That these sorts of seminal moments in the history of Canadian leftism occurred in the province of Alberta suggests that historian Alvin Finkel may even be understating matters when he claims that, “Alberta’s political culture before 1935 did not crowd out left-wing forces.”2 Leftist organizations of various types had a real and sizeable appeal for large numbers of Albertans of this era.3 However, in the period from 1935 to 1971, the political culture in Alberta changed drastically.

  • 1 Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory: the All-Too
    1 SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY: THE ALL-TOO-BRIEF PREMIERSHIP OF ED STELMACH IN ALBERTA by Bohdan Harasymiw Professor Emeritus of Political Science University of Calgary Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4 [email protected] ABSTRACT: Why would a new provincial premier, having in his first general election increased his governing party’s seats in the legislature from 62 to 72 out of 83, resign just three years later? Normally, in Canada a provincial first minister remains in office so long as s/he wins elections, and either retires of his/her own accord or is forced to resign after an electoral defeat. Ed Stelmach’s brief tenure as premier of Alberta is a singular anomaly in that regard. Answers to this puzzle are to be sought in the leadership selection process, the supposed shortcomings in his style of leadership and policy decisions, the threat to the Progressive Conservatives’ forty-year hegemony from the wildly popular Wildrose Alliance, and lack of confidence from the party’s financial backers. Relying on interviews with the principal players, monographic and newspaper accounts, and party as well as Elections Alberta archives, the paper makes systematic comparisons between the major features of Stelmach’s term in office and those of his predecessor, the inimitable Ralph Klein. It also compares prospectively, to test the validity of hypotheses resting on Stelmach’s presence as the explanatory variable. All of this retrospective and prospective scrutiny is in the search for a credible explanation or interpretation. This leads to the conclusion that Stelmach’s ethnicity, widely credited as responsible for his selection as party leader, may also have brought about his demise.
