  • Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002
    Fourth Annual Mel Smith Lecture Trinity Western University "Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002 Nick Loenen Contents Lack of an Alternative Government 6 Objections Considered 11 Excessive Concentration of Political Power 17 Political Disengagement 21 Mel Smith’s Contribution 26 End Notes 31 1 The invitation to give the fourth annual Mel Smith Lecture is a singular honour of which I am deeply appreciative. Mel Smith was imaginative and gifted. When Mel Smith spoke he spoke with authority, because he was an authority. He was devoted to a strong West within a strong Canada. To him, it is fair regional representation at the centre that makes Canada strong, it is also what he considered to be most lacking. He promoted reform through constitutional means. I seek reform through parliamentary and particularly electoral means. Our journeys are complimentary, two means to the same end, our paths crossed, and I gained a colleague and friend. His friendship enriched my life to this day. Mel Smith, as befits his legal profession, was careful to stipulate the purpose of this annual lecture. It is to focus, in his words, “on a national issue from a decidedly Western perspective.” This then is my assignment. I have selected three current, national trends that bode ill for our body politic if left unattended. This paper suggests that a switch to proportional representation can reverse those trends. The trends are: y Lack of an alternative government. y Excessive concentration of power in the PMO. y Growing political disengagement. In closing, the paper suggests that proportional representation might also attain some of the goals Mel Smith advanced throughout his professional life; in particular it shows how changing our voting system relates to Mel's many proposals to effect a more meaningful role for the West within confederation.

  • Paralympic Masculinities: Media and Self-Representation of Athletes at The
    Paralympic Masculinities: Media and Self-Representation of Athletes at the 2008 Paralympic Summer Games By Dale Stevenson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Individual Interdisciplinary Program Department of Disability Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Dale Stevenson Paralympic Masculinities ii Abstract This study uses content analysis of newspaper articles and athlete biographical/autobiographical sources to examine the constructions of masculinity of male and female athletes at the 2008 Paralympic Summer Games in Beijing, China. Based on the socially constructed tension between disability and masculinity and the connections between sport and masculinity, this study sought examples that support or challenge the portrayal of Paralympic athletes in hegemonic masculine terms. This study finds that in the majority of cases, both sets of data sources reflects and/or reinforces the association between sport and hegemonic masculinity. This public display of masculinity indicates the athletes’ attempt to attain mainstream acceptance and legitimacy as “real” athletes as much as it does a rejection of a collective disability identity. The few instances of rejection and reformulation of masculinity come from examples in which the realities of living with impairments are insurmountable barriers to attaining hegemonic masculinity. Paralympic Masculinities iii Acknowledgements I extend my sincere thanks to my family and friends who have provided me with endless support. Thanks to my thesis committee: Dr. Nancy Hansen (supervisor, Interdisciplinary Master’s Program in Disability Studies, Faculty of Graduate Studies) for her guidance, Dr. Liz Millward (Committee Member, Department of Women's & Gender Studies); Dr.

  • The NDP and the Third Party Curse in Canada
    The NDP and the Third Party Curse in Canada by Maria Mavrikkou A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Maria Mavrikkou 2009 AUTHORS DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT This thesis evaluates the position of the NDP as Canada’s third party in federal electoral politics. It analyzes three external factors, the electoral system, the party finance system and the effects of voter behaviour and low voter turnout on the electoral success of the NDP. This work aims to discover why the NDP is seemingly caught in what this thesis refers to as a third party curse. Each of the three external factors which are susceptible to change are analyzed individually to discover whether they have a negative effect on the electoral success of the party. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank all those who have influenced the writing of this thesis in one way or another, and all those who contributed to this long process somewhere along the way. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES vi CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………………………………... 1 The Canadian Electoral System 5 The Canadian Finance System 8 Voter Behaviour and Voter Turnout in Canada 9 CHAPTER TWO: THE CANADIAN ELECTORAL SYSTEM ……………...………………………………………….…12
