  • An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
    Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta By Saman Chamanfar A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Saman Chamanfar 2017 Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Saman Chamanfar Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study seeks to explain why partisanship—contrary to what we might expect based on the findings of other studies concerning social policies—is generally not a useful explanatory variable when examining the primary and secondary education policies of three Canadian provinces (Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) during two periods (the 1970s and 1990- 2008). Four specific areas of the education sector of the provinces will be examined: objectives of curricula; spending; ministry relations with school boards; and government policies concerning private and charter schools. Utilizing a qualitative approach and building on the findings of other studies on provincial education systems, it will be argued that in order to understand why the three provinces generally adopted similar policies in both periods, regardless of the differences in the ideologies of governing parties, we need to consider the causal effect of key ideas in both periods. In addition, it will be shown that opposition parties in most instances did not present policies that differed from those of governing parties or criticize the policies of such parties. This will further illustrate the limited usefulness of adopting a partisanship lens when seeking to understand the policy positions of various parties in the provinces concerning the education sector.

  • What Went Wrong with Ontario's Energy
    What went wrong with Ontario’s energy policy? Comparing spin & reality Compiled for CENTRAL BRUCE-GREY WIND CONCERNS ONTARIO By Keith Stelling, MA, (McMaster) MNIMH, Dip. Phyt., MCPP (England) 10 April, 2010 http://windconcernsontario.wordpress.com/ [email protected] Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 4 Background 4 About this report 9 I. Feasibility: Where are the CO2 emission savings? 9 II. Cost/benefit accounting: How much? Who pays? Who knows? 17 III. Job creation: 50,000 new “green” jobs? But how many job losses? 39 Conclusion 56 References 55 2 Executive Summary By referring to the economic experience of those European countries that have vigorously promoted wind energy over the last two decades, this report demonstrates that the decisions of the Ontario government did not take into consideration the reality of introducing large scale industrial wind energy onto the grid. In fact, the government’s enthusiasm to embrace what it claimed to be cheap, “clean”, environmentally benign electricity at the same time as diminishing CO2 emissions appears to have ignored all the realistic information that was available, leaving an energy policy based on little more than a leap of faith. Wind energy is neither cheap nor environmentally benign, as this report will demonstrate. This compilation of recently published information demonstrates that Ontario’s energy policy is seriously flawed. It is based upon assumptions that never have and never will be substantiated in practice. Using European reports, it shows that industrial wind turbine and solar panel complexes do not lower CO2 emissions when added in any quantity to the grid.

  • Response to Notice About Consultation and Survey: Strengthening Accountability for Municipal Council Members
    Response to Notice about Consultation and Survey: Strengthening Accountability for Municipal Council Members Special Report Dr. Barry Wellar, C.M. Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa President, Information Research Board http://wellar.ca/informationresearch/ Ottawa, Canada April 30, 2021 Response to Notice about Consultation and Survey: Strengthening Accountability for Municipal Council Members 1. Context Remarks for Feedback on Consultation and Survey: Strengthening Accountability for Municipal Politicians On April 14, 2021 the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MAH) announced Consultation: Strengthening accountability for municipal council members. https://www.ontario.ca/page/consultation-strengthening-accountability-municipal- council-members#section-0. Part of the consultation includes a survey, which is available at https://www.ontario.ca/form/survey-strengthening-accountability-municipal-council- members. According to the consultation release, “We are seeking feedback on: what changes or mechanisms are needed to better hold council members accountable for municipal code of conduct violations how to more effectively enforce these codes whether a broader range of penalties for violations of the codes of conduct are [sic] needed.” In my experience with situations involving politicians, citizens, and civil servants, it is a prudent research design for citizens to identify problems, for civil servants to propose solutions to problems identified by citizens, and for politicians to prioritize problems to be addressed and the priorities for solutions to be employed. The request for feedback approach presented by MAH seems to me to be asking citizens to do the work of civil servants, but without even ‘setting the table’ when it comes to identifying the mix of accountability problems encountered by citizens when dealing with individual politicians and councils.

  • The Alliance to End Homelessness
    The Alliance to End Homelessness www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca PROVINCIAL ELECTION 2011 The Alliance to End Homelessness Statement on Local Candidates’ Responses to its Questionnaire The Alliance to End Homelessness as a non-partisan coalition with 70 organizations as members takes action to end homelessness. The statement is being released at Cornerstone Housing for Women, a shining example of supportive affordable housing that shows what can be accomplished with provincial funding combined with federal, municipal and personal donations directly from the community. In contrast, 110,585 households or 33.3% are renting in Ottawa and 26.9% – more than 86,000 of Ottawa households – have incomes under $40,000. The vast majority of these households are renters. Yet out of 70,078 housing starts in the city between 2000 and 2011, 94% were ownership and only 5.8% were rental units. The provincial government plays an essential role in Ottawa’s ability to address affordable housing and homelessness. Ontario recently signed the Investment in Affordable Housing (AIH) agreement, a four-year funding agreement with the federal government to continue investment in affordable housing in this province. The province agreed to spend $240.3M over the next four years which will be matched by the federal government for a total of $480.6M. Potentially, if the funds for new affordable housing are allocated by population, Ottawa could see over 4 years a total of about $33.6 M or 7% of the $480.6 million federal/provincial total available. It’s quite a contrast to the last agreement. Previously, the City of Ottawa was allocated $75.6M between 2005 and 2010 under the Affordable Housing Program (AHP) which created about 1,240 new units.
