Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002
Fourth Annual Mel Smith Lecture Trinity Western University "Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002 Nick Loenen Contents Lack of an Alternative Government 6 Objections Considered 11 Excessive Concentration of Political Power 17 Political Disengagement 21 Mel Smith’s Contribution 26 End Notes 31 1 The invitation to give the fourth annual Mel Smith Lecture is a singular honour of which I am deeply appreciative. Mel Smith was imaginative and gifted. When Mel Smith spoke he spoke with authority, because he was an authority. He was devoted to a strong West within a strong Canada. To him, it is fair regional representation at the centre that makes Canada strong, it is also what he considered to be most lacking. He promoted reform through constitutional means. I seek reform through parliamentary and particularly electoral means. Our journeys are complimentary, two means to the same end, our paths crossed, and I gained a colleague and friend. His friendship enriched my life to this day. Mel Smith, as befits his legal profession, was careful to stipulate the purpose of this annual lecture. It is to focus, in his words, “on a national issue from a decidedly Western perspective.” This then is my assignment. I have selected three current, national trends that bode ill for our body politic if left unattended. This paper suggests that a switch to proportional representation can reverse those trends. The trends are: y Lack of an alternative government. y Excessive concentration of power in the PMO. y Growing political disengagement. In closing, the paper suggests that proportional representation might also attain some of the goals Mel Smith advanced throughout his professional life; in particular it shows how changing our voting system relates to Mel's many proposals to effect a more meaningful role for the West within confederation. -

This report was produced at the request of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM); however, it should not be inferred that the FCM endorses it in any way in all or in part. Many people from diverse constituencies (municipalities, businesses, governments, unions, associations, universities, semi-public or para-public organizations and others, both local and elsewhere) have contributed in a variety of ways to this project. We would mention in particular the assistance of Louis Carrier and Alain Borsi of INRS- Urbanisation, Culture et Société. -
American Review of Canadian Studies, Volume 46.2
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery AMERICAN REVIEW OF CANADIAN STUDIES, VOLUME 46.2 PUBLISHED ON-LINE 6 JUNE 2016 A Quiet Revolution in Diplomacy—Quebec–UK Relations Since 1960 Tony McCulloch University College London Abstract Quebec’s modern international outlook and its current paradiplomacy can be dated largely from the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Since then, the provincial government in Quebec City and the Federal Government in Ottawa have had to tread a fine line in accommodating each other’s constitutional rights in the field of international relations—a line that has occasionally been breached, especially in the years following the Quiet Revolution and in critical periods such as those prior to the 1980 and 1995 referenda. Foreign governments have also had to engage in careful diplomacy in order to avoid upsetting either Ottawa or Quebec City—and this has been especially true in the case of the countries historically most involved with Canada and Quebec—France, the US, and Britain. But whereas there has been some academic writing on Quebec’s relationships with France and the US, very little attention has been devoted to Quebec–UK relations since the Quiet Revolution. This article seeks to fill that gap and argues that the Quebec–UK relationship since the 1960s can itself best be characterized as a “quiet revolution” in diplomacy that has largely avoided the controversies that have sometimes dogged Quebec’s relations with France and the US. Keywords: Quebec; United Kingdom; Quiet Revolution; patriation; monarchy; paradiplomacy Introduction While diplomatic relations between Quebec and the UK can be dated back to before the First World War—the first Quebec legation in London opened in 1908—it was not until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, associated with Jean Lesage and the Quebec Liberal party, that the province began to take full advantage of its international potential. -
