  • History Senate Election
    SENATE EXPANDING THE BLUEPRINT FOR SENATE REFORM '99'99 for the record: Alberta’s 1998 senate election introduction “The first action taken by Pierre Elliot Trudeau as prime minister at his inaugural cabinet meeting in 1968 turned out to be prescient. He appointed his first senator...Trudeau told cabinet that despite the appointment, he still favoured Senate reform as promised during the election. As we now know, 30 years later, it never happened. In fact, Trudeau’s last action as prime minister 16 years after the cabinet meeting was to leave patronage appointments to the Senate for his successor John Turner. It played a major role in the Liberals’ brutal defeat in the 1984 election at the hands of Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives, who also promised reforms.” From a news article in the CALGARY HERALD, Feb 4/99, Pg. A8. Such is the story of Senate reform – while many Canadians express commitment to the idea, this “convoy” is not moving very fast. The road to meaningful Senate reform has been long, winding, and full of potholes, and while the debates, discussion, reports, conferences, and scandals have made for some pretty impressive scenery, the destination remains somewhere beyond the horizon. To be sure, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords did propel us further down the road by securing a place for Senate reform on the national agenda, but that scenery too is fading from memory. And if the road were not yet bumpy enough, Ottawa continues to put up roadblocks by refusing to consider any alternatives to the Senate status quo.

    The Lay of the Land An Inventory of Federal and Provincial Land Stewardship Policy in Western Canada Geneva Rae, Policy Analyst Bethany Beale, Intern May 2007 This report is part of the Canada West Foundation’s Land Stewardship Initiative—a two-year research and communications endeavour focused on the role of public policy in facilitating land stewardship in western Canada. Land stewardship is the practice of responsible land usage to ensure that natural capital is maintained or enhanced for future generations. Land stewardship policies are actions taken by government that require, enable or encourage land users to manage land in ways that maintain or enhance natural capital for future generations.

  • Better Neighbours
    Our Vision A dynamic and prosperous West in a strong Canada. Our Mission Better Neighbours: A leading source of strategic insight, conducting and communicating non- The Ongoing Case for partisan economic and public policy research of importance to the four Interprovincial Cooperation in Western Canada western provinces and all Canadians. Robert Roach, Director of the West in Canada Project October 2009 The WesT in CanaDa ProjeCT Canada is a wonderfully diverse country with its people spread across the second largest nation-state in the world. There are many things that tie us together as Canadians, but there is no doubt that each part of the country is unique and brings a different set of characteristics and perspectives to the national table. Understanding and integrating this diversity is a challenge as big as Canada itself. Western Canada—British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba—is one of many distinct regions in Canada. The West is no more homogenous than any other region or sub-region, but there is an abundance of features that tie the four western provinces together in special ways. Shedding light on this region, communicating its frustrations and aspirations to the national community, seeking ways to build on the common ground found in the West, and weaving the region into the national whole are the goals of the West in Canada Project. The project, like Canada West Foundation, is based on the idea that strong and prosperous regions make for a strong and prosperous Canada.

  • Beyond the Nass Valley Plaintiffs Argued for Recognition of Unextinguished Aboriginal Title to Land They Claimed As Traditional Territory
    Introduction OWEN LIPPERT About 10,000 years ago, humans started to walk cross the Bering Strait, pushing southward to populate the Americas. On December 11, 1997, the Supreme Court of Canada released its judgment in the case, Delga- muukw vs. British Columbia, defining the rights of those Aboriginal peo- ple vis-à-vis later arrivals who came by ship from another direction. The majority decision was written by Chief Justice Antonio Lamer, who retired two years later. Four judges concurred with him; two added their own finer points. Beyond the Art Deco marble walls of the court- house, the media and public reaction at the time reflected no obvious consensus. Responses ranged from jubilant vindication to apocalyptic warnings. One might have expected as much, given the immense scope of Lamer's decision. At its core, the Delgamuukw decision judges what our long past shall now mean as Canadians decide upon serious issues of the ownership and use of land, economic development, governance and social relations—issues that will affect every Canadian, in every corner of the country. The national significance of Delgamuukw case prompted the Fraser Institute to hold two conferences on the issue, the first in Vancouver in July 1998 and a second and larger one in Ottawa in April 1999. This book contains the papers and proceedings of those two events. The Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en bands from Northwestern British Columbia initiated the case in 1984. (A direct predecessor of the case, Calder vs. B.C., began even earlier, in 1968.) In brief, the Aboriginal 3 4 Beyond the Nass Valley plaintiffs argued for recognition of unextinguished Aboriginal title to land they claimed as traditional territory.
