  • Made by Canadians Fabrication Canadienne
    Section 3: MADE BY CANADIANS “making” a car is a possible factor in determining a car’s ‘nationality’ 3.0 introduction 3.0T1 / SECTION TITLE Made by Canadians Fabrication canadienne 3.0T2 / MAIN TEXT Does the label ‘Made in Canada’ single out the truly ‘Canadian’ car? Canada has long been a major player in the auto industry— it was the world’s second largest producer of cars in the 1920s and ’30s. Is a car Canadian because it is built in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians, with Canadian materials? How important is all of this in measuring a car’s ‘Canadian-ness’? Consider the history, and judge for yourself. L’indication « fait au Canada » caractérise-t-elle véritablement une « voiture canadienne » ? Le Canada joue depuis longtemps un rôle principal dans l’industrie automobile – il était le deuxième constructeur automobile mondial dans les années 1920 et 1930. Un véhicule est-il canadien parce qu’il est construit au Canada, par et pour des Canadiens, et avec des matériaux canadiens ? En quoi tout cela joue-t-il dans la « canadienneté » d’un véhicule ? Considérez les faits historiques, et jugez-en par vous-mêmes. Canadian Car / MADE BY CANADIANS / Section 3.0 26 BASED ON IP V 6.2 / 2010 12 04 March 11, 2010 3.1 I/A1 “Build-A-Car” 3.1 I/A T1 / TITLE 3.1 I/A1 Mechanical English Interactive “Build-A-Car” French Toddlers’ Interactive Discovery Zone 3.1 I/A T2 / INSTRUCTIONS (FOR PARents) English French 3.1 I/A T3 / TEXT English French 3.1 P1 / SUPERGRAPHIC IMAGE GIVES INTERACTIVE AREA THE APPEARANCE OF A manufactuRING PLANT Photocopy: High Res Recieved: Canadian Car / MADE BY CANADIANS / Section 3.1 27 BASED ON IP V 6.2 / 2010 12 04 March 11, 2010 3.2 Different Types of ‘Made in Canada’? 3.2T1 ADVANCE ORGANIZER The label ‘Made in Canada’ might fill Canadians with pride, but it can mean many different things.

  • Growth Management and Regional Government
    Growth Management and Regional Government: How an Interpretive Approach Can Explain Politicians’ Commitment to Smart Growth Policies in Waterloo Region, Ontario Caitlin Michelle Daley A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science York University Toronto, Ontario June 2017 © Caitlin Michelle Daley, 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation is a case study that explains how the Waterloo area’s regional government in Ontario, Canada, came to embrace smart growth policies, which aim to protect agricultural and environmentally sensitive areas from urban sprawl while creating more dense urban communities. It develops an interpretive approach based on Mark Bevir and Rod Rhodes’s work on situated agency to explain why the 2010 to 2014 Region of Waterloo council defended the Region’s smart growth policies against two major challenges, choosing to build its intensification-focused light rail transit (LRT) project despite public controversy, and choosing to appeal an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) ruling that threatened its most recent official plan. Based on interviews, archival research, and document review, the dissertation is written in three parts that tell three kinds of stories, using Bevir and Rhodes’s concepts of tradition, dilemma, and webs of beliefs. Part I uses a historical narrative to explain the tradition of growth management and regional government in the Waterloo area. It finds that regional government and growth management have conditioned each other over the course of the last half century. Part II explains the dilemmas that the 2010 to 2014 regional council faced as a group in deciding to defend its smart growth policies.
