While significant media and scholarly attention has focused on the former, this thesis examines the less studied but equally prevalent resurgence of left-wing populism through a comparative analysis of two populist movements in Britain and Canada, Momentum and Leap, that

  • April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine Mckenna Minister of Infrastructure
    April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Infrastructure and Communities [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna, We write as twenty (20) business organizations representing a broad cross-section of Manitoba’s economy collectively employing tens of thousands of women and men. Those industries include engineering & consulting, heavy civil and 2 vertical construction, commercial and residential development, manufacturing & exporting, retail, agriculture, commercial trucking and skilled trades. Our appeal to the federal government is that it assist in our provincial economic recovery by accelerating the approvals of and flexibility in the allocation from federal programs. Such measures would enable funding of key Manitoba projects that would immediately procure jobs, build legacy assets and be key instruments in help kick-staring Manitoba’s economy. The above is necessary to help correct the lack of confidence in the economy by all its sectors, the alarm, anxiety and fear of what lies ahead around the corner, and indeed where that corner is. That has led to private-sector projects being deferred or outright canceled. Those decision have resulted in lost jobs, supply and equipment sales, all of which reduces the collective ROI to GDP. Addressing consumer and investor confidence is critical to our recovery. In that regard, we understand the Province of Manitoba has communicated its commitment to flow its capital programs, harnessing investment in infrastructure to help Manitoba’s economy recover. We are told Manitoba has more than $6B in project submissions for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) with many being shovel ready. We urge the federal government to make the most of the current market conditions - competitive bid prices and extraordinarily low interest rates - to meet the formidable economic challenge in front of us.

  • Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization
    Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization by Rianka Singh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Rianka Singh 2020 Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization Rianka Singh Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization examines the relationship between platforms and feminist politics. This dissertation proposes a new feminist media theory of the platform that positions the platform as a media object that elevates and amplifies some voices over others and renders marginal resistance tactics illegible. This dissertation develops the term “Platform Feminism” to describe an emerging view of digital platforms as always-already politically useful media for feminist empowerment. I argue that Platform Feminism has come to structure and dominate popular imaginaries of what a feminist politics is. In the same vein, the contemporary focus on digital platforms within media studies negates attention to the strategies of care, safety and survival that feminists who resist on the margins employ in the digital age. If we take seriously the imperative to survive rather than an overbearing commitment to speak up, then the platform’s role in feminism is revealed as limited in scope and potential. Through a mixed methodological approach via interviews with feminist activists, critical discourse analysis of platform protest materials, critical discourse analysis of news coverage and popular cultural responses to transnational feminist protests and participant observation within sites of feminist protest in Toronto, this dissertation argues that the platform is a media object that is over-determined in its political utility for Feminist politics and action.

  • Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report
    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

  • Canadian Union of Public Employees
    CANADIAN UNION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES LOCAL 500 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Central Council October 28, 2019 TO: All Central Council Delegates RE: PRESIDENT’S REPORT BARGAINING UPDATES Local 500 members working at the St. Boniface Museum have ratified a new collective agreement. The new agreement will provide members with improvements in a number of areas such as training and development, inclement weather and hours of work. The new agreement will expire on December 31, 2022. JOINT LABOUR MANAGEMENT MEETING – CITY/LOCAL 500 On September 25, a joint labour management meeting took place between Local 500 and the City of Winnipeg. The purpose of these meetings is to provide a forum for meaningful consultation and discussion between the employer and the union regarding workplace issues and matters of mutual concern (i.e. city-wide policies, programs, and operational issues). It is not a substitute for the grievance procedure and collective bargaining process. Both parties have agreed to meet on a quarterly basis and alternate meeting locations. The next meeting has been tentatively set for December. FEDERAL ELECTION On October 21, Canadians elected a Liberal minority government. While it wasn’t the outcome we were hoping for, workers will now have a strong voice in Parliament given the NDP hold the balance of power. CUPE will continue to work with the NDP to make the sure that the new government respects its promises to Canadians. Justin Trudeau will have to translate his campaign commitments into meaningful actions to fight climate change, to create a public and universal pharmacare program, and to make life more affordable for Canadian families.

  • CASE for a Climate Emergency Alliance
    THE CASE FOR A Climate Emergency Alliance 350 Canada ClimateAlliance.ca Contents This is an emergency. Act like it. 3 The will of the people 6 A fighting chance 8 The numbers 11 This is an emergency. Act Like it. According to the world’s best scientists, we have less than a decade to tackle the climate emergency. Yet, despite lofty promises from Justin Trudeau, Canada’s emissions continue to rise. If we continue on this track, we’ll lock in devastating wildfires, more extreme weather, costly economic impacts and much worse. We’re in a climate emergency but our government continues to act as if we have decades to solve this problem. With an election on the horizon, it’s clear that we can’t afford four more years of this approach. So what do we do about it? To answer that, we have to understand another big problem. Despite failing to reduce emissions, presenting a climate plan that is half as ambitious as science demands, failing to deliver a promised Just Transition Act, and falling short on environmental justice and Indigenous rights, 71% of Canadians1 believe that the Trudeau government is either “good” or “acceptable” when it comes to climate action. In other words, we need to overcome the perception that Trudeau is doing enough to tackle this crisis. We need more than a policy shift. We need a massive political shift. ClimateAlliance.ca | 03 That political shift can only come through an unprecedented Climate Emergency Alliance between the NDP and the Green Party. In this Alliance, both parties would come together under the promise to do anything and everything to tackle the climate emergency at the pace and scale that science and justice demand.
