    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.

    The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario June 29, 2021 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Ford, As leaders of a public Board of Education, the Trustees of the Halton District School Board expressed profound anger about the negative and lasting impacts of the residential school system and sadness about the discovery of the horrific loss of life at the Kamloops Residential School for which there must be accountability. As a response, the Trustees of the Halton District School Board adopted the following recommendation unanimously at the June 2, 2021 Regular Meeting of the Board: Be it resolved that the Chair be directed to write a letter on behalf of the Board of Trustees to Prime Minister Trudeau and the Premier of Ontario Ford urging that the Federal and Provincial Governments listen and take action to honour the requests of the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nations and all Indigenous peoples to fulfil its obligations under the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Specifically, the letter should include: ○ That funding be made available by the Government of Canada to undertake and fulfill the Calls to Action regarding Missing Children and Burial Information (#71 - #76). ○ That ground penetrating radar technology be made available to search the grounds of all Residential Schools so that all children can go home. ○ That Indigenous peoples from the communities closest to Residential Schools are actively involved in all stages of the processes at every site. ○ That the voices of the Indigenous community members are centred and lead the process at all sites.

    Review of African Political Economy No.73:307-310 © ROAPE Publications Ltd., 1997 ISSN 0305-6244; RIX #7301 Commentary Ray Bush & Morris Szeftel This issue continues the critical evaluation of aspects of Africa's economic and political crisis offered in previous editions of the ROAPE Review of Books in the hope of an effective alternative to prevailing notions. In the present conjuncture, the dominant forces of global capitalism restrict the policy agenda with regard to arresting economic decline, ethnic conflict and state disintegration. Structural adjustment (imposing externally-regulated liberalisation) and liberal democratic political reform (largely confined to electoral competition among a small elite and the sponsorship of civil society) have been the only games in town. The evidence is everywhere that this narrow agenda is inadequate for the task. Its apologists defend it, not by pointing to their successes or their intellectual coherence and elegance, but by reiterating that there are no alternatives. Hence the need to encourage the widest range of critical contributions in that hope that, from them, alternatives will begin to emerge. The need for a new agenda is manifest. Economic restructuring, after 25 years of failure and despite the continuing brutality of its social impact, draws only muted criticism. Despite these failures, and notwithstanding occasional hand-wringing by the World Bank (as it accepts that mistakes have been made and launches a new slogan), Africa continues to be 'adjusted' to fit it for its station on the margins of world capitalist markets. The disappointments of democratisation are more recent and thus less fully explored. But the limitations of political pluralism as a means of promoting democratisation and overcoming the instability, ineffectiveness and corruption of post-colonial states, are already clear.
