Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • Sudbury: a Historical Case Study of Multiple Urban-Economic Transformation
    Sudbury: A Historical Case Study of Multiple Urban-Economic Transformation OIVA SAARINEN Sudbury serves as a relevant historical case study of a settlement that has undergone several transformations since its inception as a fledgling village in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Though changes of this kind have been frequent in Ontario, they have not normally happened to hinterland resource communities. This article t suggests that Sudbury is unique in this regard, having evolved through five distinct .. stages: (I) a railway company village, (2) a colonial-frontier mining town and city, (3) a regional central-place, (4) a declining metropolis, and (5) a nearly self­ sustaining community. The constant restructuring of Sudbury's society and eco­ nomic base has been caused by a variety of external and internal forces, among which the "human dynamic" has been vital and ever present. The paper suggests that under certain circumstances a resource community can progress from a staples and boom-bust existence to a more sustainable urban economy based on local and regional influences. A Railway Company Village Sudbury began its existence as a company village of the Canadian Pacific Railway.' In 1883 it became one of the places in Northern Ontario chosen as a temporary construction centre for the railway company. Situated on the outer limit of habitable territory, the site gave no evidence whatsoever that it would ever acquire an impor­ tance beyond that of a small wayside station for the transcontinental railway. In 1884 the Commissioner of Crown Lands made land grants to both the CPR and the Jesuits.

ISSUES IN THE UNORGANIZED AREAS OF NORTHERN ONTARIO Dean J. Nickerson 6368187 Public Administration 931 25 August 1992 1 On a national level, there is a widespread tendency to view Ontario as a homogenous whole of big Toronto-like cities, industries and big business centres. In other words, the province tends to exhibit a powerful image as the nation's heartland and decision-making centre, an image that has often raised the ire of other regions. However, picturing Ontario as one giant suburb of Toronto or as the 401 corridor is a gross simplification of the overall character of the entire province. The industries, people and power so often seen as the defining character of Ontario is actually present mainly in the south. The remainder, northern Ontario, is a region vastly different in many respects. In addition to the dichotomies in economic base, population, settlement patterns and physical geography, some important differences also exist in the characteristics of local government.
