Title of Thesis/Project/Extended Essay Regional Interests versus Community Interests : The Fundy Tidal Power Decision. Authar: -, -. ----- (sig ature) Gary F rl Stairs -Lf- ---- ( wine ) 1 March 1985 (date) ABSTRACT In recent decades, North American governments have favoured the development of large-scale energy projects to meet the social objectives of energy self-sufficiency and accelerated economic growth. These projects have commonly been located near rural communities which usually lack civic organization and experience with large-scale resource development. This thesis examines the behaviour of the residents of one such community when confronted with Fundy Tidal Power. Throughout this examination, the nature of communication between the community and the proponents of the megaproject is understood to be a key variable in the determination of community's support of and opposition to the project. In 1977 plans for a billion-dollar tidal power project were intro- duced to Joggins, Nova Scotia. The project, which was to be located adjacent to the community, was sponsored by the Government of Canada and by the Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. However, since the preliminary feasibility studies had been conducted with little consultation on local impacts, the very forces which instigated the project undermined its acceptance in Joggins. The community thus developed misgivings about the Federal Environmental Assessment and Review Process planned for Fundy Tidal Power, and began to perceive the process as an alien means of communication which conflicted with the nature of political communication generally occurring in and accepted by the community. iii This thesis presents a historical account of the community's will to survive and the manner by which this will conditioned the community's attitudes toward development projects. The thesis also examines the factors which influenced Joggins ' participation in the Fundy Tidal Power decision-making process, and propelled the community to mobilize its own information and participation forum. The thesis concludes that the Environmental Assessment and Review Process proposed for Fundy Tidal Power unduly limits the opportunities for public involvement, thereby thwarting a complete assessment of local impacts as well as subsequent intervention or compensation for losses. An interactive process of communication is therefore proposed as one of the primary means of reducing the friction surrounding resource development projects, and as a basis for anticipating and addressing the negative effects of such projects. DEDICATION To my parents, Ccnard and Betty Ruth Stairs, who ministered at the Springhill No. 2 pit-head during the October 1958 "bump." A WAR OF IDEAS Do not let it be said that we cannot afford it. If we can afford the South Saskatchewan Dam; if we can afford the Crow's Nest Pass; if we can afford the Colombo Plan; if we can afford to spend a-billion-and-a-half dollars on Defence; if we can afford the CBC; if we can afford $100 million as a preliminary budget to celebrate our Centenary; if we can afford these and many other items of our national expenditure which we could name, then it cannot be said that we cannot afford Chignecto [Canal and Tidal Power Project 1, a self-liquidating national investment that would transform this region of Canada and make it a land of plenty. Remember finally that the war between freedom and communism cannot be fought with bayonets and bullets, not even with nuclear bombs or Bomarc missiles. It is a war of ideas. Freedom can only survive if under its banner want and misery are banished. - Michael Wardell, retired Brigadier, Secretary of the Chignecto Canal Committee, From a speech to the Lancaster and Saint John, N.B., Kiwanis Clubs, 16 October 1961.

This paper uses declassified cabinet papers and diplomatic records to tackle three key questions about this mission: why did Canadians ever go to distant Cyprus? Why did they stay for so long? And why did they leave when they did? The answers situate Canada’s commitment to Cypress against the country’s broader postwar project to preserve world order in an era marked by the collapse of the European empires and the brutal wars in Algeria and Vietnam. It argues that Canada stayed— through fifty-nine troop rotations, 29,000 troops, and twenty-eight dead— because peacekeeping worked. Admittedly there were critics, including Prime Ministers Pearson, Trudeau, and Mulroney, who complained about the failure of peacemaking in Cyprus itself.

  • Regional Geology of the Scotian Basin
    REGIONAL GEOLOGY OF THE SCOTIAN BASIN David E. Brown, CNSOPB, 2008 INTRODUCTION The Scotian Basin is a classic passive, mostly non-volcanic, conjugate margin. It represents over 250 million years of continuous sedimentation recording the region's dynamic geological history from the initial opening of the Atlantic Ocean to the recent post-glacial deposition. The basin is located on the northeastern flank of the Appalachian Orogen and covers an area of approximately 300,000 km2 with an estimated maximum sediment thickness of about 24 kilometers. The continental-size drainage system of the paleo-St. Lawrence River provided a continuous supply of sediments that accumulated in a number of complex, interconnected subbasins. The basin's stratigraphic succession contains early synrift continental, postrift carbonate margin, fluvial-deltaic-lacustrine, shallow marine and deepwater depositional systems. PRERIFT The Scotian Basin is located offshore Nova Scotia where it extends for 1200 km from the Yarmouth Arch / United States border in the southwest to the Avalon Uplift on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in the northeast (Figure 1). With an average breadth of 250 km, the total area of the basin is approximately 300,000 km2. Half of the basin lies on the present-day continental shelf in water depths less than 200 m with the other half on the continental slope in water depths from 200 to >4000 m. The Scotian Basin formed on a passive continental margin that developed after North America rifted and separated from the African continent during the breakup of Pangea (Figure 2). Its tectonic elements consist of a series of platforms and depocentres separated by basement ridges and/or major basement faults.

  • The Limits to Influence: the Club of Rome and Canada
    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

    Report of Activities 2005 39 Geological Map of the North Mountain Basalt from Cape Split to Brier Island, with Comments on its Resource Potential D. J. Kontak Introduction preparation and will be published elsewhere (Kontak, in prep.), where it is demonstrated that the sequence corresponds to other continental flood The Jurassic North Mountain Basalt (NMB) forms basalt provinces (e.g. 65 Ma Deccan Traps, 17- a prominent cuesta along the southern coastline of 15 Ma Columbia River Basalt Group) that have the Bay of Fundy, and is contiguous with outliers analogues in the active flows of Hawaii. This along the northern side of the bay (Fig. 1). This correspondence provides a basis for interpreting the prominent topographic feature, roughly 200 km in volcanological features of the NMB (see Kontak, length, is the focus of this paper and the topic of 2002, for discussion). field studies over the past few years (Kontak, 2000, 2002; Kontak et al., 2005). One result of this work is the first geological map of this unit over the Geological Setting length of the North Mountain (Kontak, 2005, 2006), which provides a basis for assessment of the Numerous, early Mesozoic continental tholeiitic area’s resources. Previous work indicated that the basalt flows, dykes and sills formed along the NMB contained three distinct flow units, referred eastern margin of North America, concurrent with to as the Lower, Middle and Upper flow units the infilling of basins with non-marine sedimentary (Kontak, 2002), and the results of this work have rocks during Pangean rupture, as a prelude to the shown that this subdivision can be extended over opening of the present-day Atlantic Ocean.
