  • 6 CHAPTER III the FACTUAL BACKGROUND 19. This Chapter
    6 CHAPTER III THE FACTUAL BACKGROUND 19. This chapter sets out the backgroundto the 1964Stanfieldproposal,the context in which it occurred and the subsequenthistory of discussionsrelating to the "Stanfield line." 20. This factual backgroundis based on infonnation availableto Newfoundland and Labrador from sources in the National Archivesof Canada,from provincial archives and from other government sources. There has not been any general discoveryof documents between the parties. 21. What was in issue at the time of the Stanfieldproposal and later was not the division of resource revenuesbetween Canadaand the Atlantic Provinces,or even the management of explorationand development,butthe rightto fullownershipandjurisdiction ofthe offshore and its mineral resources. It was in the context of attempts to have Canada recognize provincial ownership andjurisdiction of the offshore and its resources that interprovincial boundaries were discussed. I. The ConstitutionalFramework 22. At Confederation in 1867, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Province of Canada (consistingofOntarioandQuebec)joined to fonn the DominionofCanada. Later,Manitoba (1870), British Columbia (1871), Prince Edward Island (1873), Alberta (1905) and Saskatchewan (1905) joined the Union. In 1949, Newfoundland and Labrador became the tenth province. 23. Under the Constitution Act, 1867, the federal government had a number of specific powers relating to the offshore: including the power to pass laws in relation to trade and commerce; 7 militia,militaryandnavalserviceanddefence;beacons,buoys,lighthousesandSableIsland; navigation and shipping; and sea coast and inland fisheries.9 24. Neither the territorial limits of the provinces in respect of the offshore nor interprovincial offshore boundaries were set out in the Constitution. 25. The ConstitutionAct, 1867didnotprovideforextendingorchangingprovincialboundaries. This was correctedby section3 ofthe ConstitutionAct, 1871underwhich Parliament could alter provincial boundaries with the consent of the legislaturesof the provinces affected.

  • Canada and the Middle East Today: Electoral Politics and Foreign Policy
    CANADA AND THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY: ELECTORAL POLITICS AND FOREIGN POLICY Donald Barry Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 with little experience in foreign affairs but with a well developed plan to transform his minority Conservative administration into a majority government replacing the Liberals as Canada’s “natural governing party.”1 Because his party’s core of Anglo-Protestant supporters was not large enough to achieve this goal, Harper appealed to non- traditional Conservatives, including Jews, on the basis of shared social values. His efforts were matched by those of Jewish leaders and the government of Israel to win the backing of the government and its followers in the face of declining domestic support for Israel and the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism. These factors accelerated a change in Canada’s Middle East policy that began under Prime Minister Paul Martin, from a carefully balanced stance to one that overwhelm- ingly favors Israel. Harper’s “pro-Israel politics,” Michelle Collins observes, has “won the respect—and support—of a large segment of Canada’s organized Jewish community.”2 However, it has isolated Canada from significant shifts in Middle East diplomacy and marginalized its ability to play a constructive role in the region. Harper and the Jewish Vote When he became leader of the Canadian Alliance party, which merged with the Progressive Conservatives to form the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004, Tom Flanagan says that Harper realized “The traditional Conservative base of Anglophone Protestants [was] too narrow to win modern Canadian elections.”3 In a speech to the conservative organization Civitas, in 2003, Harper argued that the only way to achieve power was to focus not on the tired wish list of economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” as they’d become known, but on what he called “theo-cons”—those social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defense.

  • J. Angus Maclean (1914 - 2000)
    J. Angus MacLean (1914 - 2000) On 14th September 2013 the Trust joined with Clan Maclean Atlantic Canada (CMAC), the local Belfast Historical Society and the Caledonian Club of Prince Edward Island, as well as members of J. Angus MacLean's family, to unveil a plaque and a storyboard commemorating his achievements. The Hon. J. Angus MacLean PC, OC, DFC was born in Lewes, Prince Edward Island (PEI), on 15th May 1914. He served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. The story of his bomber being shot down over Holland in 1942, how he evaded capture for three months, despite having injured his back when landing by parachute, and his return to the UK via Belgium, France and Spain, is told in his memoirs, Making It Home (1998). He was first elected to Parliament as a Progressive Conservative Party of Canada member in a 1951 by-election, representing first Queens (1951-1968) and then, when that J. Angus MacLean district was abolished, Malpeque (1968-1976). He held his seat continuously until he resigned in 1976, having been re-elected nine times. He served as Minister of Fisheries from 1957 until 1963. He was elected Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Prince Edward Island in September 1976 and resigned from the House of Commons in the following month. He was elected to the PEI Legislative Assembly at a by-election in November that year and was re-elected in 1978 and 1979, when he led his party to victory. He became Premier of Prince Edward Island on 3rd May 1979.
