    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 2 Moving Forward Together: Indigenous People and Parliament p. 24 The Mace currently in use in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was made in 1906 and used for the first time in March of that year at the opening of the First Session of the First Legislative Assembly. Purchased from Ryrie Bros. Ltd. of Toronto at a cost of $340.00, it is made of heavy gold-plated brass and is about four feet long. The head consists of a Royal Crown with the arches surmounted by a Maltese cross and bears the Royal Coat-of-Arms on the top indicating the Royal Authority. Each side is decorated with a sheaf of wheat, representing the province’s agricultural wealth, a beaver representing Canada and the monogram E.R. VII, representing the sovereign at the time, Edward VII. The shaft and base are ornamented with a shamrock, thistle and rose intertwined. A Latin inscription around the Royal Coat of Arms reads in English, “Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of British Isles and Lands beyond the sea which are under British rule, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India”.

  • Letter to Prime Minister Trudeau Re Radioactive Waste Policy
    The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau September 19 2017 Prime Minister of Canada Dear Prime Minister Trudeau: Canada is at the dawn of a new era: the Age of Nuclear Waste. Yet this country has no official policy regarding the long-term management of any radioactive wastes other than irradiated nuclear fuel. A federal policy on radioactive wastes other than irradiated fuel is urgently needed. The absence of such a policy in effect gives a green light for the approval of three ill-considered projects to abandon long-lived radioactive wastes at sites very close to major bodies of water – wastes that will remain hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years. One is a gigantic multi- story mound, on the surface at Chalk River, one kilometre from the Ottawa River, meant to permanently house up to a million cubic metres of mixed radioactive wastes. The other two projects involve the in-situ abandonment of the long-lived radioactive remains from two defunct nuclear reactors – the NPD reactor at Rolphton on the Ottawa River, and the WR-1 reactor at Pinawa on the Winnipeg River. These projects pose a threat to future generations, and they set a dreadful example for other countries looking to Canada for socially and environmentally acceptable policies and practices. All three projects involve radioactive wastes that are the sole responsibility of the government of Canada; yet in each case, the projects have been conceived by a private consortium of multinational corporations hired by the previous federal government under a time-limited contract. The previous government also ensured that the approvals process for all three projects is entirely in the hands of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), a body whose independence has been challenged from many quarters.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • Freedom, Democracy, and Nationalism in the Political Thought of Pierre Elliott Trudeau: a Conversation with Canadians
    FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, AND NATIONALISM IN THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF PIERRE ELLIOTT TRUDEAU: A CONVERSATION WITH CANADIANS by SOMA ARRISON B.A., The University of Calgary, 1994 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Political Science) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA February 1996 © Sonia Arrison, 1996 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Pierre Elliott Trudeau's ideas on liberal democracy and political philosophy are relevant to Canadian life. He is a modern liberal democrat with a vision of the 'Good' society - what he terms the Just Society. The values of a Just Society are numerous, but perhaps, the most important are freedom, equality, and tolerance. These values are core to his theory and are often revealed in his battle against nationalism. Trudeau is radically opposed to notions of ethnic nationalism, such as French Canadian and Aboriginal nationalism, but he supports a type of civic nationalism within a federal, pluralistic system.

    Left History 12_2x6:12.2 1/28/08 11:17 AM Page 184 184 Book Reviews the author himself, most notably a naked shouting match with a former Ontario Premier in the Glendon College gym (oddly, not the one who recently skinny-dipped with CBC comedian Rick Mercer). As a contribution to Canadian political and intel- lectual history, and as a commentary on public engagement by intellectuals, The Teeth of Time is a valuable, and often entertaining, addition to the literature. Matthew Hayday University of Guelph William Tetley, The October Crisis, 1970: An Insider’s View (Montreal & Kingston, McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2007). Before opening the book, my initial reaction was, “Not another book on the 1970 October Crisis!” There is a sense that so much has been written on this tragic event and if someone decides to publish a book on this, he has something new to reveal. Unfortunately this book does not bring a new perspective on this event that cap- tured Canadians’ attention in 1970. Even the author seems to have anticipated my reaction and those of others since he devoted a portion of his introduction to a jus- tification for the publication of another book on the October Crisis. I have to confess that I expected a lot from this book since the author was a member of Premier Robert Bourassa’s cabinet. At that time, he was Minister of Financial Institutions. Although William Tetley warns his readers that his book is “not a work of history … it is a commentary on a particular event …” (XXV), I was disappointed because the book does not contain many new elements that would make this a must read.
