Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention
Canadian Political Science Review 4(1) March 2010 Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention Ian Stewart and David K. Stewart (Acadia University, University of Calgary)* Abstract Since Confederation, the electorate responsible for the selection of Canadian political party leaders has progressively widened; by the end of the twentieth century, most parties were employing some variant of the universal ballot (thereby giving all party members a voice in leadership selection). Nevertheless, the 42 person executive of the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservatives rolled back this democratic tide by organizing a delegated convention to replace departing leader John Hamm. The Conservatives justified their decision by claiming that such a convention would be the most fair, the most equal, and the most exciting way to select their new leader. This article demonstrates, however, that these claims are difficult to substantiate. There was much drama on voting day, but the Conservatives were, in fact, very fortunate in that respect. Equality between constituencies was heightened, but only at the cost of introducing a substantial inequality between individual party members. As to fairness, it seemed entirely irrelevant to the proceedings. Ultimately, not even a majority of delegates approved of the change in process. Even in “counter-revolutionary” Canada, democratizing claims are difficult to resist. Since Confederation, changes in the federal franchise have widened the pool of Canadian citizens able to participate in the electoral process by eliminating restrictions based on class, gender, and race. Once members of a social group have become eligible voters their subsequent disenfranchisement has rarely been contemplated and never achieved.

Hamm Premier of Nova Scotia The Government of Nova Scotia is proud to be a part of this annual publication that supports healthy lifestyles and the independence of Nova Scotia’s seniors. Every day thousands of seniors energize and strengthen their communities through volunteering their time, participating in programs, or sharing with a friend or loved one. This directory is full of valuable information on everything from seniors’ organizations to health and wellness activities, to transportation and housing contacts. All are meant to promote the value and participation of seniors in communities throughout our province. On behalf of all Nova Scotians, I would like to thank all seniors for making such tremendous contributions to our province. Sincerely, John Hamm 2 PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS A Message from The Honourable Angus MacIsaac Chairperson, Senior Citizens’ Secretariat In my role as Chairperson of the Senior Citizens’ Secretariat I have had the opportunity to witness and be impressed by the strong model of partnership that has been formed with seniors in Nova Scotia. Throughout the year the Secretariat consults and collaborates with seniors and seniors’ organizations on issues that matter to our aging population. I appreciate receiving your advice in identifying priority areas. I want to acknowledge the many seniors’ organizations that dedicate their time to supporting the interests of seniors. Your knowledge and feedback is invaluable. I hope our 16th edition of Programs for Seniors is of value to you.

Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Honourable Ron Chisholm Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture P.O. Box 2223 Halifax, NS B3J 3C4 January 9th, 2009 Dear Minister Chisholm, In June 2008, your Government announced its commitment to develop a Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy by 2010. We commend the government for taking on this significant initiative. We would like to be formally involved, in a consultative capacity, in the development of the Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy. We are requesting a meeting to discuss mechanisms whereby our input can be formally included in the process. The undersigned organizations support the development and implementation of a Sustainable Coastal Development strategy. Specifically, we expect the Strategy will address the following pressing coastal issues: deteriorating coastal water quality, the destruction of coastal ecosystems and habitats, the loss of marine biodiversity, protection of traditional fisheries, maintaining coastal access, and the vulnerability of our coastal areas to climate change. There is a pressing need for clearer, integrated governance and effective planning that involves the residents of coastal communities. An effective Coastal Development Strategy must result in action on the problems facing our coast. Given the sensitivity of Nova Scotia’s coasts to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, storm surges and accelerated erosion, the province should work with municipalities to reduce the vulnerability of our coastal communities to climate change. Secondly, we expect the Strategy to include federal-provincial-municipal cooperation and coordination on comprehensive land-use planning that addresses coastal issues through use of tools such as zoning, set-backs and the establishment of coastal marine protected areas within consistently applied and enforced regulations.
