  • END of an ERA Roger Gibbins Retires After 14 Years at the Helm of the Canada West Foundation
    WINDOW ON THE 2012 MAY WEST www.cwf.ca western canadian policy matters END OF AN ERA Roger Gibbins retires after 14 years at the helm of the Canada West Foundation > Unlocking Manitoba’s Transportation Gateway > Reflections on a Dynamic and Prosperous West > Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel A Strong West in a Strong Canada The Canada West Foundation is the only think tank dedicated to being the objective voice for public policy issues of vital concern to western Canadians. Sometimes these issues are unique to the West, but more often they resonate right across Canada. We are resolutely nonpartisan. We let the research do the talking rather than rely on predetermined positions. Our goals are straightforward: better government policy; a prosperous West in a prosperous Canada; fair treatment of all regions in the federation; and a strong democracy based on open debate and meaningful citizen engagement. Over the past 40 years, our research and recommendations have advanced all four of these goals. We are a source of ideas and information. We are a facilitator of discussion and civic participation. We give the people of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba a voice. A voice for their aspirations, interests and concerns. As westerners, we understand the people and the places of the West. We know our history and how it influences our future. Whether it is the economy, energy, environment, education, healthcare, taxes, social services, urban issues, intergovernmental relations or any other policy area of importance to the West, we have researched it, commented on it, stimulated debate about it and recommended practical options for improving the policy response—all from a uniquely western point of view.

Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State.

  • Are Canadians Still Liberal Internationalists? Foreign Policy
    Scholarly Essay International Journal 2014, Vol. 69(3) 274–307 Are Canadians still ! The Author(s) 2014 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav liberal internationalists? DOI: 10.1177/0020702014540282 Foreign policy and ijx.sagepub.com public opinion in the Harper era Roland Paris Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada Abstract Since coming into office in 2006, the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected many of the symbols and practices of the liberal internationalist approach to foreign affairs that Canadian governments of all political stripes broadly embraced during the preceding six decades. As part of this change, the Harper government has also promoted a new narrative about Canada’s history and foreign policy, which encour- ages Canadians to change how they think about their country and its role in the world. By examining recent opinion surveys, this article asks whether Canadian public attitudes on foreign policy have shifted away from liberal internationalism and toward the Harper government’s narrative since 2006. Keywords Canadian foreign policy, liberal internationalism, Stephen Harper, Canadian public opinion, Conservative Party of Canada, role theory Introduction Since coming into office in 2006, the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected many elements of the liberal internationalist consensus that under- pinned Canadian foreign policy in the decades after the Second World War. This consensus included the conviction that working through international insti- tutions generally served Canadian interests and values, that energetic multilateral diplomacy provided Canada with opportunities for international influence which it Corresponding author: Roland Paris, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa, 120 University St., Room 6053, Ottawa, ON K1N 6N5, Canada.

  • Understanding Parties and Social Movements in the Representational Politics of Identity
    1 Brokers, Feminists & Populists: Understanding Parties and Social Movements in the Representational Politics of Identity Steve Patten University of Alberta This paper offers a framework for understanding the relationship between political parties and contemporary social movements in Canadian politics. Building on an understanding of political representation as a process that constitutes political identities and interests, it is argued that parties and social movements can both be understood and studied from a perspective that locates them in the ideological and discursive processes of the ‘representational politics of identity’. The empirical core of the paper examines the uneasy association between social movements and brokerage-style partisan politics, explores Canadian feminism’s gradual rejection of constructive engagement with partisan politics, and reveals the hostile relationship between contemporary social movements and the new populism. While exposing the extent to which the representational politics of identity puts political parties and social movements in competition with one another, the paper concludes by arguing that the tension between these competing institutions of representation is healthy for Canadian democracy. INTRODUCTION Political parties have played a critical role in defining the character of liberal democratic politics. Working through the electoral system and the institutions of parliamentary governance, they shape the primary opportunities for—and the character of—political participation and representation. They are often decisive as mediating institutions that influence how we think about politics, our political identities, public policy, and the legitimacy of competing approaches to governance. They are not, however, alone as institutions of political participation and representation. In recent decades, social movements—including feminism, environmentalism, and the gay and lesbian rights movement—have redefined the opportunities for political engagement.

  • The Politics of Language Roadmaps in Canada: Understanding the Conservative Government’S Approach to Official Languages
    The Politics of Language Roadmaps in Canada: Understanding the Conservative Government’s Approach to Official Languages LINDA CARDINAL University of Ottawa HELAINA GASPARD University of Ottawa RÉMI LÉGER Simon Fraser University On May 2, 2011, the Conservative Party of Canada, under the leadership of Stephen Harper, won a majority government following five years as a mi- nority government. As a member of Parliament and then as president of the National Citizens Coalition, Harper had expressed strong reservations about official languages. “As a religion,” he infamously declared in May 2001, “bilingualism is the god that failed” (Canadian Press, 2011). However, in March 2013, the Conservative government unveiled the Roadmap for Canada’s Official Languages 2013–2018 (Canada, 2013), extending funding for another five years for a number of governmental and intergovern- mental programs as well as for programs in support of official languages minority communities (OLMCs), that is, Francophone communities outside of Quebec and Anglophone communities in Quebec. What does the adoption of this language roadmap reveal about Harper’s views on official languages in Canada? What are the key features and tenets of the Acknowledgments: This research was made possible by generous financial support from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

Current research interests include fiscal federalism, health policy, the reform of federal po- litical institutions and the machinery of federal-provincial relations, Canadian federalism and the global economy, and comparative federalism. The Institute pursues these objectives through research conducted by its own staff and other scholars, through its publication program, and through seminars and conferences. The Institute links academics and practitioners of federalism in federal and provincial govern- ments and the private sector. The Institute of Intergovernmental Relations receives ongoing financial support from the J.A. Corry Memorial Endowment Fund, the Royal Bank of Canada Endowment Fund, the Government of Canada, and the governments of Manitoba and Ontario.
