  • Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C
    Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C. Dewar Journal of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes, Volume 53, Number/numéro 1, Winter/hiver 2019, pp. 178-196 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/719555 Access provided by Mount Saint Vincent University (19 Mar 2019 13:29 GMT) Journal of Canadian Studies • Revue d’études canadiennes Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent KENNETH C. DEWAR Abstract: This article argues that the lines separating different modes of thought on the centre-left of the political spectrum—liberalism, social democracy, and socialism, broadly speaking—are permeable, and that they share many features in common. The example of Tom Kent illustrates the argument. A leading adviser to Lester B. Pearson and the Liberal Party from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, Kent argued for expanding social security in a way that had a number of affinities with social democracy. In his paper for the Study Conference on National Problems in 1960, where he set out his philosophy of social security, and in his actions as an adviser to the Pearson government, he supported social assis- tance, universal contributory pensions, and national, comprehensive medical insurance. In close asso- ciation with his philosophy, he also believed that political parties were instruments of policy-making. Keywords: political ideas, Canada, twentieth century, liberalism, social democracy Résumé : Cet article soutient que les lignes séparant les différents modes de pensée du centre gauche de l’éventail politique — libéralisme, social-démocratie et socialisme, généralement parlant — sont perméables et qu’ils partagent de nombreuses caractéristiques.

  • The NDP's Approach to Constitutional Issues Has Not Been Electorally
    Constitutional Confusion on the Left: The NDP’s Position in Canada’s Constitutional Debates Murray Cooke [email protected] First Draft: Please do not cite without permission. Comments welcome. Paper prepared for the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, June 2004, Winnipeg The federal New Democratic Party experienced a dramatic electoral decline in the 1990s from which it has not yet recovered. Along with difficulties managing provincial economies, the NDP was wounded by Canada’s constitutional debates. The NDP has historically struggled to present a distinctive social democratic approach to Canada’s constitution. Like its forerunner, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the NDP has supported a liberal, (English-Canadian) nation-building approach that fits comfortably within the mainstream of Canadian political thought. At the same time, the party has prioritized economic and social polices rather than seriously addressing issues such as the deepening of democracy or the recognition of national or regional identities. Travelling without a roadmap, the constitutional debates of the 80s and 90s proved to be a veritable minefield for the NDP. Through three rounds of mega- constitutional debate (1980-82, 1987-1990, 1991-1992), the federal party leadership supported the constitutional priorities of the federal government of the day, only to be torn by disagreements from within. This paper will argue that the NDP’s division, lack of direction and confusion over constitution issues can be traced back to longstanding weaknesses in the party’s social democratic theory and strategy. First of all, the CCF- NDP embraced rather than challenged the parameters and institutions of liberal democracy.

  • The the 50Th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics
    The The 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch “In the Shadows of the Limelight” The tales, anecdotes, salty dips and rumoured to be true stories from those who served Edition 1 January 18, 2019 Edited by LCol Mike Hendrigan, CD (Retired) Dedication n putting this collection of stories together, I often wondered if a dedication was required, and it was, how would I word it? I pondered the subject for way too long and as the weeks I turned into months, I thought about possible options and formats. In my research into what I thought would be an easy matter, I found the following information on dedications: A dedication could be addressed to a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend a supervisor or even a mascot. Ok, this was a start. A dedication could be formal or informal, and provide a reason. There is no one way to write a dedication. Darn, back to square one. So with no right answer, no fixed format and no further ahead, I came up with a couple dedications that seemed appropriate. If you want to see what I came up with, keep reading. Otherwise, skip this part and flip a few pages forward to the first “Log Tale”. On my first attempt, I came up with this: This book is dedicated to the thousands of serving logisticians who will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch on 1 February 2018. That seemed a little too vanilla and bland, so I came up with a second version: To all logisticians, past and present, who supported CAF operations, missions and exercises with honour.

  • Dürer 'S Rhinoceros: Disablement, Violence and Mass Media
    The School of Sociology and Social Policy The University of Leeds Dürer 's Rhinoceros: disablement, violence and mass media Robert H. Elliott A research dissertation submitted to The Department of Sociology and Social Policy, The University of Leeds, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts in Disability Studies. December 2007 Student Number: 200234410 “I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.” Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) 2 Abstract Previous research has shown that impaired individuals have been historically, and continue to be, victims of violence. This violence stems from a variety of sources, locations and situations. The story of this violence against impaired individuals has been hidden, ignored or denied and as Sorensen (2002) says, “Crime against people with substantial disabilities … remains largely invisible and unaddressed” (p. 1). Only in the last thirty years have researchers truly begun to turn their interest towards this subject area. This paper specifically examines violence towards impaired people in conjunction with the news media’s influential presentation of stereotypical images of them. The news media’s invariant presentation of these stereotypical images strengthens the societal acceptance of impaired people as legitimate targets for violence. Through the paper’s exploration of disablement from the perspective of cultural influence, societal beliefs and attitudes and the various stereotypical definitions given to impaired people, a more clear 3 understanding of the source of the societal definition, role and position assigned impaired people was gained. Additionally, the paper examined disability and the media generally, disability and the news media specifically and the ways the news media presents violence and disability.

The full version is an awesome event that has made memories to last a lifetime. Months ago after following Michael on twitter tweet about his time doing the Ragnar Relay Miami to Key West, I told him that looked like so fun and there was talk of the Dixie 200 relay being set up for Atlanta to Birmingham. Right in my backyard! So in February, while Michael was picking up his packet for the Mercedes Marathon, he also became team cap- tain of the Dixie 200, and the Dirty Dozen was born. At that time, it still just seemed like a great fun adventure and I really didn’t put much thought into “what have I signed up for!?” As the months went on for pre- Dixie 200 participants showing off their finishers medals. paring for the race, there were many name changes in the dozen – some to know each other really soon!
