    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly March 15, 1982 The Assembly met at 2 p.m. Prayers. ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS NOTICE OF MOTION MR. ROUSSEAU: — Mr. Speaker, I give notice that I shall, on Wednesday next, move first reading of a bill referred to as An Act to Provide Accessibility to Buildings for Physically Disabled Persons. SOME HON. MEMBERS: Hear, hear! QUESTIONS Canadian Union of Public Employees’ Strike MR. TAYLOR: — Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask a question to the Minister of Health. Today, Mr. Minister, we see another of the habitual demonstrations at this legislature on opening day and the all too familiar chant of “We want a contract.” Mr. Minister, you are using the honest workers of Saskatchewan as pawns in your political game. Will you give the assurance to this Assembly that you will have your officials take part in meaningful negotiations and get away from the political manipulation that is the case today? HON. MR. ROLFES: — Mr. Speaker, as usual the member for Indian Head-Wolseley doesn’t understand the situation. First of all, Mr. Speaker, the agent of the employer is the Saskatchewan Health-Care Association and not the Department of Health. Mr. Speaker, let me say that in the vast majority of the cases, in 95 per cent of the cases I believe, contracts are agreed upon at the bargaining table. My understanding from the Saskatchewan Health-Care Association is that worth-while negotiations were going on until the withdrawal of services. I would simply, as I have said in the past, Mr. Speaker, ask both the Saskatchewan Health-Care Association and CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) to get back to the bargaining table and hammer out an agreement.

    Saskatchewan Elections: a History December 13Th, 1905 the Liberal Party Formed Saskatchewan’S First Elected Government

    SaSkatcheWan EleCtIonS: A History DecemBer 13th, 1905 The Liberal Party formed Saskatchewan’s first elected government. The Liberals were led by Walter Scott, an MP representing the area of Saskatchewan in Wilfred Laurier’s federal government. Frederick Haultain, the former premier of the Northwest Territories, led the Provincial Rights Party. Haultain was linked to the Conservative Party and had advocated for Alberta and Saskatchewan to be one province named Buffalo. He begrudged Laurier for creating two provinces, and fought Saskatchewan’s first election by opposing federal interference in provincial areas of jurisdiction.

The Liberals ran 40 candidates in 41 constituencies: William Turgeon ran in both Prince Albert City and Duck Lake. He won Duck Lake but lost Prince Albert. At the time it was common for candidates to run in multiple constituencies to help ensure their election. If the candidate won in two or more constituencies, they would resign from all but one. By-elections would then be held to find representatives for the vacated constituencies. This practice is no longer allowed.

  • Party Competition in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba

    Party Competition in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba

    CODE POLITICS: PARTY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT ON THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES Jared J. Wesley Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba [email protected] For Presentation at: The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario Please do not cite without permission. May 29, 2009 Abstract Similar in so many ways, questions persist as to why Canada’s three Prairie Provinces have developed such distinct patterns of party competition. Right-wing dynasties thrive in Alberta; Saskatchewan’s natural governing party is avowedly social democratic; while party politics in Manitoba remains relatively balanced between the forces of the right and left. This paper supplements conventional solutions to this “prairie paradox” - grounded in political culture and settlement patterns - with an ideational analysis of campaign narratives. This examination reveals that each system is focused around a unique provincial “code.” In Alberta, Social Credit and Progressive Conservative leaders have emphasized “freedom” over “security,” whereas New Democrats in Saskatchewan have stressed precisely the opposite. Successful politicians in Manitoba have steered a middling course, underscoring the importance of “moderation” in their campaign rhetoric. Cultivated by, and constraining, prominent leaders over time, these dominant discourses help explain the persistent differences between the three worlds of party competition in the region. Introduction Considering their many commonalities, the three Prairie Provinces ought to feature similar patterns of party competition. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are each separated by essentially artificial boundaries, their borders based on arbitrary longitudinal lines, rather than topographic or ethnic divisions (Elton, 1970). All three are associated with a common iconic landscape: one with vast stretches of prairie, bounded only by mountains to the West and the Canadian Shield to the East.

    Keewatin Career Development Corporation in Discourse Surrounding the Knowledge-Based Economy and Society

    16 REVERSE ENGLISH Strategies of the Keewatin Career Development Corporation in Discourse Surrounding the Knowledge-Based Economy and Society Frank Winter Ensuring that rural and remote areas in Canada have access to reasonably affordable telecommunications has been a long-standing governmental ob- jective that can be traced back to policies regarding universal access policies for telephony. The early 2000s saw a burst of federal and provincial programs aimed at extending affordable Internet service to such areas. In January 2001, Brian Tobin, the federal minister of Industry at the time, established the Na- tional Broadband Task Force (NBTF), the principal mission of which was “to map out a strategy for achieving the Government of Canada’s goal of ensur- ing that broadband services are available to businesses and residents in every Canadian community by 2004” (National Broadband Task Force 2001, 1). The NBTF’s report, The New National Dream: Networking the Nation for Broadband Access, opened with lofty promises of the sweeping social transformations that would follow in the wake of broadband. The following passage, from the report’s executive summary, is typical of the rhetoric em- ployed throughout: The Task Force is convinced that, over the next 10 or 20 years, the development of broadband networks, services and applications will have a profound effect on all aspects of Canadian life. Broadband will transform the way we learn, the way we work, the way we use our leisure, the way we govern ourselves, 306 Connecting Canadians.indd 306 12-07-12 10:55 PM the way we communicate, the way we express ourselves and the way we care for each other.
