ITproud occasion when a new lawyer is “called to the bar.” The road is long in terms of the time spent in training, and it’s not always a straight- forward trajectory: people start their journey at different stages in their lives for a number of reasons, each informed by their own personal background. This is the story of three people—two law- yers and one on the cusp of a career in law—who all attended the University of St. Michael’s Col- lege at around the same time and who decided to take the path to the legal profession, but who have each had very different, and interesting, twists along the way. For each of them—as for many St. Mike’s grads—it was not simply a path to a professional career, but their way to try to make a positive contribution to the betterment of society. Take CHRISTOPHER VANBERKUM (USMC 2009), for instance. “I suppose you could say I took the more scenic route getting to law school,” he says, “but I don’t regret that.” He graduated with an honours BA from St. Mike’s in 2009, but then completed two master’s degrees—one in international relations from the London School of Economics and one in history from U of T— before starting law school. “I had the chance to do lots along the way.” VanBerkum has just started the final leg of his marathon.

  • The Politicization of the Scarborough Rapid Transit Line in Post-Suburban Toronto
    THE ‘TOONERVILLE TROLLEY’: THE POLITICIZATION OF THE SCARBOROUGH RAPID TRANSIT LINE IN POST-SUBURBAN TORONTO Peter Voltsinis 1 “The world is watching.”1 A spokesperson for the Province of Ontario’s (the Province) Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) uttered those poignant words on March 21, 1985, one day before the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) inaugural opening of the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) line.2 One day later, Ontario Deputy Premier Robert Welch gave the signal to the TTC dispatchers to send the line’s first trains into the Scarborough Town Centre Station, proclaiming that it was “a great day for Scarborough and a great day for public transit.”3 For him, the SRT was proof that Ontario can challenge the world.4 This research essay outlines the development of the SRT to carve out an accurate place for the infrastructure project in Toronto’s planning history. I focus on the SRT’s development chronology, from the moment of the Spadina Expressway’s cancellation in 1971 to the opening of the line in 1985. Correctly classifying what the SRT represents in Toronto’s planning history requires a clear vision of how the project emerged. To create that image, I first situate my research within Toronto’s dominant historiographical planning narratives. I then synthesize the processes and phenomena, specifically postmodern planning and post-suburbanization, that generated public transit alternatives to expressway development in Toronto in the 1970s. Building on my synthesis, I present how the SRT fits into that context and analyze the changing landscape of Toronto land-use politics in the 1970s and early-1980s.

  • Rethinking Toronto's Middle Landscape: Spaces of Planning, Contestation, and Negotiation Robert Scott Fiedler a Dissertation S
    RETHINKING TORONTO’S MIDDLE LANDSCAPE: SPACES OF PLANNING, CONTESTATION, AND NEGOTIATION ROBERT SCOTT FIEDLER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2017 © Robert Scott Fiedler, 2017 Abstract This dissertation weaves together an examination of the concept and meanings of suburb and suburban, historical geographies of suburbs and suburbanization, and a detailed focus on Scarborough as a suburban space within Toronto in order to better understand postwar suburbanization and suburban change as it played out in a specific metropolitan context and locale. With Canada and the United States now thought to be suburban nations, critical suburban histories and studies of suburban problems are an important contribution to urbanistic discourse and human geographical scholarship. Though suburbanization is a global phenomenon and suburbs have a much longer history, the vast scale and explosive pace of suburban development after the Second World War has a powerful influence on how “suburb” and “suburban” are represented and understood. One powerful socio-spatial imaginary is evident in discourses on planning and politics in Toronto: the city-suburb or urban-suburban divide. An important contribution of this dissertation is to trace out how the city-suburban divide and meanings attached to “city” and “suburb” have been integral to the planning and politics that have shaped and continue to shape Scarborough and Toronto. The research employs an investigative approach influenced by Michel Foucault’s critical and effective histories and Bent Flyvbjerg’s methodological guidelines for phronetic social science.

  • The Notwithstanding Clause: the Charter's Homage To
    THE NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE: THE CHARTER’S HOMAGE TO PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY Peter H. Russell In this lively and spirited defence of the notwithstanding clause, the noted constitutional authority Peter H. Russell observes that “the Charter has become an object of worship” that has “thrown the notwithstanding clause (which, believe it or not, is part of the Charter) into bad political odour.” He notes: “It was included in the Charter for a very good reason: a belief that there should be a parliamentary check on a fallible judiciary’s decisions on the metes and bounds of our fundamental rights and freedoms.” Russell adds that “it was indeed a ‘deal-maker.’ Without it, Pierre Trudeau would not have had the support of nine premiers for his patriation package, and we would not have had the Charter in 1982.” Prenant vigoureusement la défense de la clause dérogatoire, le réputé spécialiste de droit constitutionnel Peter H. Russell observe que « la Charte est devenue l’objet d’un culte » qui a eu pour effet de discréditer politiquement cette disposition. « On l’a pourtant intégrée à la Charte pour une excellente raison, rappelle-t-il : la nécessité d’une supervision parlementaire des décisions d’une magistrature faillible sur les tenants et aboutissants de nos droits et libertés fondamentaux. » De fait, cette disposition a permis une entente majeure puisque sans elle, « Pierre E. Trudeau n’aurait pas obtenu l’appui de neufs premiers ministres à sa proposition de rapatriement, et la Charte n’aurait pas été créée en 1982 ». t is surely only in Canada, besotted as we are by all tained the notwithstanding clause, the Charter of Rights things constitutional, that something called the “was not worth the paper it is written on.” I “notwithstanding clause” could find a place in the lex- Well, I am here to tell you that Mulroney and his fellow icon of public debate.

  • 1 Foucault, Police and Policing in the Canadian
    FOUCAULT, POLICE AND POLICING IN THE CANADIAN DEMOCRACY By KEITH FORGIE Integrated Studies Project Submitted to Dr. Gloria Filax in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta April, 2009 1 Introduction On June 15, 1215, John, by the Grace of God, King of England signed, with reluctance, Magna Carta, ‘the great charter’. By this document he made significant concessions of royal power and spelled out a number of ‘rights’ his subjects1 might expect. Magna Carta was a far-reaching document but for the purposes of this paper I am isolating four sections: 39. No freeman shall be taken, or imprisoned, or disseized (Middle English: To dispossess unlawfully of real property; oust), or outlawed, or exiled, or in any way harmed--nor will we go upon or send upon him-- save by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land. 40. To none will we sell, to none deny or delay, right or justice. 42. Henceforth any person, saving fealty to us, may go out of our realm and return to it, safely and securely, by land and by water, except perhaps for a brief period in time of war, for the common good of the realm…. 45. We will not make men justices, constables, sheriffs, or bailiffs unless they are such as know the law of the realm, and are minded to observe it rightly (Magna Carta). In other words, the King was promising, in 1215, that there would be no imprisonment without trial or without the rule of law and, no denial of and no delay in administering justice.

  • Factum of the Honourable Justice Paul Cosgrove
    In the matter of: Canadian Judicial Council Inquiry of Justice Paul Cosgrove Reply Factum of Justice Paul Cosgrove (Motion for Declaration of Invalidity of s. 63(1) of Judges Act) 1. Justice Cosgrove supports and adopts the submissions made by the Canadian Superior Court Judges’ Association, and by the Criminal Lawyers’ Association/Canadian Council of Criminal Defence Lawyers. Constitutional Foundation of Judicial Independence in Canada 2. At paragraph 39 of its factum the Independent Counsel submits that ss. 96, 99 and 100 of the Constitution Act, 1867 “provide a code governing the constitutional status of superior court judges”. While these provisions are obviously an important foundation for the constitutional protections enjoyed by the judiciary, it is incorrect to consider them to be anything approaching a complete code. In Valente, the Supreme Court of Canada identified the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as an important source of a constitutional foundation for judicial independence. In addition, in the PEI Reference, the Supreme Court of Canada was clear: Notwithstanding the presence of s. 11(d) of the Charter, and ss. 96-100 of the Constitution Act, 1867, I am of the view that judicial independence is at root an unwritten constitutional principle, in the sense that it is exterior to the particular sections of the Constitution Acts. The existence of that principle, whose origins can be traced to the Act of Settlement of 1701, is recognized and affirmed by the preamble to the Constitution Act, 1867. …. 1 In conclusion, the express provisions of the Constitution Act, 1867 and the Charter are not an exhaustive written code for the protection of judicial independence in Canada.
