  • Politics and Public Automobile Insurance in British Columbia, 1970–2010
    Politics and Public Automobile Insurance in British Columbia, 1970–2010 Richard C. McCandless INTRODUCTION utomobile insurance encompasses many important aspects of living in a modern society. These include legal practices, medical Aservices, customer relationships, community involvement, and management theory. This review focuses on (1) the evolving political and financial relationship between the publicly owned Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (icbc) and provincial governments of various political philosophies over the four decades of its existence and (2) how icbc was often shaped by, and sometimes itself influenced, the politics of British Columbia. Today’s public auto insurance retains some of the original ideals of not allowing private corporations to profit from individual physical and financial loss resulting from automobile crashes. Yet it no longer attempts to provide low-cost auto insurance; rather, it more closely resembles a commercial operation providing profit for the government. Direct government control over rates has been replaced by indirect control through an intermediary body and cabinet orders. Despite attempts to depoliticize control over icbc, especially with regard to the setting of annual premiums, the current government has in many ways actually increased its control of icbc and has significantly altered its objective of providing low-cost insurance. THE EARLY YEARS In the late 1960s, high public dissatisfaction with the state of automobile insurance, particularly rising rates and poor service, led the Social Credit government of W.A.C. Bennett to establish a royal commission, chaired by Justice Robert Wootton of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, to review the situation. The commission’s report, completed bc studies, no.

    Book Reviews The 1200 Days: A Shattered Dream: Dave Barrett and the NDP in BC z972-75> by Lome J. Kavic and Garry Brian Nixon. Coquitlam: Kaen Publishers, 1978. Pp. 290. Son of Socred: Has Bill Bennett's Government Gotten B.C, Moving Again? by Stan Persky. Vancouver: New Star Books, 1979. Pp. 319. British Columbia has come of age. The much vaunted left/right two party system, which our teachers of yesterday told us was the hallmark of maturity, is now ours to savour and enjoy. An additional sign of maturity, partly a response to the general growth of interest in provincial studies in Canada, is the expanding literature dealing with B.C. politics. While our bookshelves are scarcely groaning, they now sport a respectable dis­ play of books and journals on British Columbia. BC Studies is now in its second decade. The number of graduate theses steadily expands and illu­ minates the dark spots in our past. An additional welcome indication of this healthy introspection is found in book-length journalistic and descrip­ tive political commentary aimed at the general public. The 1200 Days and Son of Socred fall into this latter category. Persky explicitly refers to the responsibility of privileged academics "to spend more of their time and skills addressing the general public rather than just talking to each other" (p. 8). Neither work has any pretence to be the last word on its respective subject — the NDP period in office from 1972 to 1975 for Kavic and Nixon, and the Social Credit years from 1975 to 1978 of Bennett the younger for Persky.

  • In the Imperial Age and After: Patterns of British Columbia School Leadership and the Institution of the Superintendency, 1849-1988
    In the Imperial Age and After: Patterns of British Columbia School Leadership and the Institution of the Superintendency, 1849-1988 THOMAS FLEMING The 1980s have been turbulent years for British Columbia school superin­ tendents. Within a decade, 67 of the 129 men and women who have served as chief educational officers for the province's 75 school districts have left the superintendency to seek positions inside and outside British Columbia schools.1 This attrition, which has become a hallmark of the position, reached a high point in 1986 when approximately one-quarter of the superintendency corps were replaced.2 No doubt, many complex personal and professional factors shaped individual decisions to leave, or school board decisions to change leadership. It is not the purpose of this paper, in any event, to inquire into "who jumped and who was pushed" from office. Instead, the extent of such "turnover" suggests that it may be more appropriate to examine from a broader perspective the social and professional forces that have precipi­ tated recent events. If the superintendency is in a state of crisis, or if it can be described today as an embattled institution, it may be instructive to explore historically how developments within provincial school administra­ tion relate to time and circumstance and to what extent the institution of the superintendency, like other institutions, is both a product and hostage of its own past. In previous research, I investigated how structural changes within pro­ vincial schooling led to the emergence of the local superintendency and, especially, how the modern superintendent's role gradually evolved from that of the school inspector.3 Throughout that study, emphasis centred on how twentieth-century school practices "in the field" shaped the office of 1 Vernon J.
