PAGE 2 ELECTION OcToBER 23, 2003 Conservatives 34, Liberals 12, and NDP 2 Continued from 1 But according to Duggan, the motion won't hurt the union's ability to work with the new gov­ ernment. "The motion specified the twenty-first, so after midnight tonight, [Danny Williams] can pop by anytime he wants," said Duggan. However, there was some con­ cern from the NDP party over Williams's approach to post­ secondary policy. NDP leader Jack Harris was worried about Williams's position on student issues. "It's disappointing that the person who failed to show .at the student debate, and show that kind of interest in student is­ sues is going to be sitting in the premier's chair," said Harris. Candidate Liam Walsh, the former CFS representative, came last in a three-way race in St. John's North. Walsh had seri­ ous concerns about students' welfare under a Conservative government. "For every student who voted for Danny Williams tonight, I hope you're going to join with other students when he decides to raise tuition fees and cut needs-based grants, 'cause I think that's what we're going to see happen," said Walsh. Part of Williams's appeal to voters is that he came across as a competent leader. "He seems like he knows what he's doing," said Vicars. Newfoundland and Labrador tends to follow strong individual leaders, such as pre­ vious premiers Joey Smallwood and Brian Peckford. "It doesn't get any better than this, I can tell you," Wil­ liams shouted in his acceptance speech to a crowd of supporters.

  • Social Exclusion and the Labrdor Experience: Shaping
    SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND THE LABRDOR EXPERIENCE: SHAPING THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL LANDSCAPE By LISA DENSMORE Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. ANGELA SPECHT in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta FEBRUARY, 2013 Social Exclusion and the Labrador Experience: A Culture of Indifference Abstract This study began because I observed that many people in Labrador were forming specific interest groups in order to do three things: to counter the intent of government especially when government intent did not align with specific group intent; to hinder the advancement of other groups with whom one might have differing goals; and, to compete for potentially scarce resources. Formation of specific interest groups did aim to achieve social change but the competitive nature of group formation did not seem healthy, reasonable, or productive in achieving broader community goals. In this paper, I examine the complex historical, social and political relationships in Labrador to understand how complex and varied governance structures and social exclusion have contributed to this challenging political and social landscape in Labrador. In particular, this study has three goals: first, it examines how the political and social landscapes of Labrador have been shaped historically. Second, explores how varying levels of government responded to the many challenges created by community organizations and group affiliation; and third it critically interrogates the role that social exclusion has played in creating a political and social landscape that encompasses so many different groups and organization. Through careful review of the Labrador through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s conference proceedings and the Provincial Northern Strategic Plan, I examine the complex relationships between historical, social, and political exclusion that has shaped and continues to shape Labrador’s social, political, cultural and economic landscapes.

  • Newfoundland and Labrador in Transition: from Commission of Government to the Present and Beyond: Paper 2
    Newfoundland and Labrador in Transition: From Commission of Government to the Present and Beyond: Paper 2 Doug May, Patti Powers, Alton Hollett, and Wade Locke. Prologue To understand the challenges that we as a Province face today, one has to understand how we arrived here. The story, as we understand it, has an arbitrary beginning but is ongoing and therefore there is no conclusion. Moreover, as just noted, this is our understanding but we would no doubt benefit from others’ perspectives. There was the inclination to focus on the “economy” in transition and how it has changed and evolved over the years, but this approach ignores the other parts of our make-up, that is the culture, the geography, the politics and the social relationships and networks that combine and interact to influence the outcomes we describe. To understand the Newfoundland economy transition story, you have to understand the parts and then integrate them into the whole story. Omitting one part or meeting the challenge of one component will fail in the sense that it ignores the impacts on the other parts which are interdependent and important. The insight of economic thought is one of understanding trade-offs and balance amongst alternative choices in the face of constraints. The basic story then involves one around the Province “transitioning” while facing and, in response to various social, geographic and economic challenges. In the Beginning At the beginning of our story around 1932, for much of the population, the economy was substantially a non-cash, subsistence one focused on the salt-fish (cod) trade with Europe and the Caribbean.

  • Inside Stories: Agency and Identity Through Language Loss
    INSIDE STORIES: AGENCY AND IDENTITY THROUGH LANGUAGE LOSS NARRATIVES IN NUNATSIAVUT by © Martha MacDonald A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Interdisciplinary Program Memorial University of Newfoundland June 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis examines narratives told about language loss in the Inuit territory of Nunatsiavut in Northern Labrador, NL, based on forty-five interviews carried out in 2002/2003 and in 2013/2014. (These are narratives in the folkloristic sense of a text that tells a story.) Language shift in Nunatsiavut has progressed rapidly since the mid- twentieth century until the current population of active speakers is low enough to cause concern about the survival of Inuttitut. The following questions were addressed: what people think caused the decline of the language; what the effect of Inuttitut language retention or shift has been on Labrador Inuit identity; and how these narratives have changed in their character and use over time. Analysis of the interviews and accompanying research on Moravian education, literacy, and the use of narrative revealed that people’s explanations for language loss varied according to their age, and, accordingly, they had different ideas on the importance of Inuttitut retention as a part of Inuit identity. The oldest generation of people interviewed, most of them Inuttitut speakers, identified a combination of circumstances that arose from community decisions, but they retained their feeling that the language was a vital part of identity. The next generation felt that Inuttitut had been removed from their communities through the combined forces of school, church and government, and felt that it was possible to be Inuit without the language, but that it continues to be important.

    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 9, No. 1, 2014, pp. 103-122 The role of the political system in shaping island nationalism: a case-study examination of Puerto Rico and Newfoundland. Valérie Vézina PhD candidate, Université du Québec à Montréal Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT: Islands are sites where specific forms of governance can develop, providing insights for ‘continental’ nations. This paper discusses the role the political system has in shaping nationalist policies and demands in island settings, examining the specific cases of Puerto Rico and Newfoundland. Starting from a hypothesis outlined by both Fazi and Hepburn, this paper aims at finding empirical data and evidence to the hypothesis that island jurisdictions having a different party system than their central state show an increase in their nationalist demands. In order to do so, this paper first examines the definition of island nationalism and offers, following Lluch’s typology, a framework for analyzing nationalist demands. Then, it examines important historical material in both Newfoundland and Puerto Rico. This will demonstrate how political parties and political leaders can use nationalism to shape policies and will allow us to verify the initial hypothesis. Keywords: islands; nationalism; Newfoundland; political leaders; political parties; political system; Puerto Rico © 2014 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Islands have been studied and celebrated in literature, biology, anthropology and politics for many years; and the study of the relationship between islandness and nationalism goes back at least to the musings of Rousseau (1765) on Corsica. In the study of island nationalism in particular, there is some agreement that some key circumstances can enhance nationalist sentiments, be they economic, geographical or political.

    HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR MEMBERS’ HANDBOOK October 2007 INTRODUCTION This Members’ Handbook is a complete revision of the Members’ Handbook developed during the 45th General Assembly under the leadership of Speaker Harvey Hodder. As a result of the changes from the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act and the Recommendations of the Review Commission on Constituency Allowances and Related Matters lead by Chief Justice Green, that handbook has now been divided into two separate guides: (1) a Members’ Handbook and (2) a Members’ Resources and Allowances Rules Manual. These two volumes provide information respecting a range of issues affecting Members of the House of Assembly and attempt to present this information in a readily accessible manner and structure. The explanations contained in the Handbook and Manual, however, are summaries only and reference must be made to the appropriate statutes and policies for definitive authority. The House of Assembly Service will circulate updates and new sections, as required, in loose-leaf format so that the Handbook and Manual can be kept current. We appreciate all feedback on ways to improve these guides. Recommendations respecting the Members’ Handbook may be forwarded to Ms. Marie Keefe, Policy Officer in the Clerk’s Office. Those recommendations respecting the Members’ Resources and Allowances Rules Manual may be directed to Ms. Marlene Lambe, Chief Financial Officer.
