It is based on a variety of archiva1 sources including diverse state documents (especially those of the Liquor Control Board), union records, and tha papers of temperance and refonn groups. In methodological terms, the dissertation blends material and discursive approaches to social history. Little historical work has been done in Canada on public ârinking after prohibition. With the return of drinking in British Columbia, former hotel saloons were transformed into hotel beer parlours. The first ones opened in Vancouver in 1925, ana only in 1954 àid tne government allow new venues of public drinking. Catering ta a working-class clientele, beer parlours regulated class, gender and sexuality, and race. Yet rather than an exarnple of social control, parlour regulation is better understood as moral regulation. Many scholars have become disenchanted with social control. It implies a linear process that emphasizes the actions of the state, allied elites, and reactive resistance iv to them. Social historians seeking more flexible analytical tools have adopted a moral regulation approach. Moral regulation refers to a process of normalization, the attempt to render natural and obvious what is actually constructed and contested. From this perspective regulation involves many actors, including those being regulated. mile beer parlour regulation certainly embraced coercion and resistance, it went beyond them. Parlour regulation was both informed by and produced particular kinds of knowledge about decency and public drinking. Contests over knowledge partly explain why regulation changed in the 1950s, and middle-class cocktail lounges emerged as the site of decent drinking. Moreover, the state also produced knowledge, and that, along with more coercive techniques, helped maintain its influential role in regulation. One does not return ta school at mid-career and in middle-age without some trepidation. Many people helped to make the transition easier and the experience rewarding. ~t Simon Fraser University 1 want to thank Allen Seager for originally opening the door to me.

That glasç, however, was tied to a variety of regulations designed to shape the behaviour and attitudes of those who sat and drank. Predictably, and with mixed results, working-class patrons attempted to avoid or alter the regulations. Yet much of the power of regulation went beyond rules and resistance, for in its web were enrneshed not only the regulated but also the regulators, a group that included more than çtate officiais. Parlour workers and operators were important because they both enforced and endured regulation. This dissertation analyzes the regulation of licensed public drinking in Vancouver through an examination of hotel beer parleurs, Beverage alcohol in hotel saloons had been outlawed during prohibition. Licensed public àrinking returned ta British Columbia in 1925 in the form of hotel beer parlotxrs, They held sway until 1954 when a new Government Liquor Act provided for additional venues of 2 public drinking, rnost notably cocktail lounges. I argue that parlour regulation is better understood as moral regulation rather than as an example of social control. Let me briefly explain why. First, state officiais did attempt to impose what 1 cal1 the discourse of decency on working-class drinkers. Patrons were expected to sit quietly at tables and drink only nioderate amounts of beer, and patrons often resisted those expectations. Yet the complexity of class relations inside the parlours challenges simple notions of regulation as the imposition of state-directed control. Parlour workers and operators were charged with much of regulatory enforcement, and they had their own interests and priorities. Sometimes those interests dovetailed with those of state; often they diverged. Patrons, too, had diverse ideas of what constituted decent behaviour. From the staters point-of-view the results of regulation were mixed, uneven, and even contraàictory. Moreover, if we look closely at parlour regulation, much more than class and beer were at wark. The decent parlour was also one in which patrons, workers, and operators adhered to dominant norms about gender, sexuality, and race. Parlour decency was both informed by these norms and attempted to re- inscribe them. Yet the reinscription of the values of the dominant needs to be seen more broadly than coercion conveys. While parlour regulation certainly embraced coercion and resistance, it went beyond them. Beer parlour regulation was both infomed by and produced particular kinds of knowledge about public drinking. Here "knowledgeM does not refer to given information or truth, but to a contested process of ordering reality. The discourse of decency was infoned by and reinforced knowledge about class, gender, sexuality, and race. Yet this knowledge of public drinking is also important for two other reasons. First, contests over knowledge partly explain why the public àrinking regulation changed in the 1950s and the cocktail lounges emerged as the site of decent drinking. Second, the state also produced knowledge, and that knowledge, along with more coercive techniques, helped maintain the staters influential role in regulation. ******* For the few historias interested in the influence of alcohol in Canadian history, temperance and related issues rernain the alluring themes, Little historical work has been done in Canada on public drinking in general and public àrinking after prohibition in particu1ar.l In oz om Pro ... 1 intentionally moved beyond the dry years.

    SACRED BOUNDARIES: LOCAL OPTION LAWS IN ONTARIO SACRED BOUNDARIES: LOCAL OPI'ION LAWS IN ONTARIO By. KATHY LENORE BROCK, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University September 1982 MASTER OF ARTS (1982) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (Political Science) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Sacred Boundaries: Local Option Laws in Ontario AUTHOR: Kathy Lenore Brock, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor T.J. Lewis NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 162 ii Abstract The laws of Ontario operate on the principle that indivi­ duals should govern their own conduct unless it affects others adversely. The laws are created to protect individuals and their property and to ensure that citizens respect the rights of others. However, laws are protected and entrenched which defy this principle by permitting and fostering intolerance. This thesis addresses the local option laws of Ontario's liquor legislation which protect and legitimize invasion of personal liberty. These laws permit municipalities to prohi­ bit or restrict retail sale of liquor within their boundaries by vote or by COQ~cil decision. Local option has persisted t:b.roughout Ontario's history and is unlikely to be abolished despite the growing acceptance of liquor in society. To explain the longevity of these la.... ·ts, J.R. Gusfield' s approach to understanding moral crusades is used. Local option laws have become symbols of the status and influence of the so­ ber, industrious middleclass of the 1800's who founded Ontario. The right to control drinking reassures people vlho adhere to the traditional values that their views are respected in society.

À l’époque, les États-Unis et toutes les provinces canadiennes à l’exception du Québec ont adopté la prohibition de la vente d’alcool. Mais même au Québec, environ la moitié de la population de la province est alors touchée par des prohibitions locales (votées au niveau municipal), des prohibitions qui ont largement perduré tout au long de la période à l’étude. Durant cette ère de prohibition de l’alcool nord-américaine, Montréal est la plus grande ville, et une des seules sur le continent non régie par une loi sur la prohibition. C’est aussi celle qui dispose des lois les plus libérales envers l’alcool des deux côtés du 49ème parallèle grâce à la création de la Commission des Liqueurs de Québec (CLQ), le premier système de contrôle gouvernemental de l’alcool en Amérique du Nord.

  • Evaluating the Canadian Law on Surrogacy and Surrogate Motherhood
    REGULATING REPRODUCTION ‐ EVALUATING THE CANADIAN LAW ON SURROGACY AND SURROGATE MOTHERHOOD by Nisha Menon A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Nisha Menon 2009 Regulating Reproduction Evaluating the Canadian Law on Surrogacy and Surrogate Motherhood Nisha Menon Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2009 ABSTRACT Certain provisions of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act 2004 appear to have been enacted as a legislative response to the objections to surrogacy noted by the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies in 1993. However, the legislation may not be successful in tackling concerns generated by recent developments in assisted reproductive technologies. This thesis identifies the shortcomings of the AHRA provisions that impact its ability to effectively regulate the surrogate act in Canada. The discussion suggests shifting the existing regulatory framework away from the imposition of legislative prohibitions on commercial surrogacy and towards a model that is more effective in dealing with the current reality of the surrogate arrangement. Upon consideration of regulatory regimes in Israel and the United Kingdom, a framework for surrogacy is suggested that balances the reproductive rights of the individuals who participate in such an arrangement, while minimizing the potentially exploitative aspects of the surrogate act. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It has been a tremendous privilege to work on this subject under the supervision of Professor Bernard Dickens. My deepest gratitude to him for all the advice, attention and encouragement he has given me and the knowledge he has shared with me in this field.

The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

  • Canadians and Prohibition: an Analysis of the 1898 Referendum
    Canadians and Prohibition: An Analysis of the 1898 Referendum BY RUTH DUPRÉ AND DÉSIRÉ VENCATACHELLUM HEC MONTRÉAL – PRELIMINARY DRAFT – MARCH 2005 To be presented at the Canadian Network for Economic History Conference, Queen’s University, April 15-17, 2005. We wish to thank Tania Rakotonirina for her very able research assistantship and Fonds Mercure HEC for financial aid. Our email addresses are: [email protected] and [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION While the American episode of alcohol prohibition (1919-1933) is notorious and has been extensively studied, very little work has been done in a comparative international perspective. Yet, the prohibition movement was international and quite a few countries, particularly the ones with a significant Anglo-Saxon Protestant majority, went through a long-lasting and vigorous struggle over this issue. Our larger research program is concerned with an international exploration to shed new light on the American experiment with prohibition. In this first paper we examine the Canadian case and more specifically, the national referendum on the prohibition of alcohol of 1898. The story of the temperance movement struggle to suppress the liquor trade can be divided into four phases: the 1840s-50s, the 1870s-80s, the 1890s-First World War and the 1920s. In the two first phases, Canada followed a road very similar to the US. From the turn of the 20th century, their roads began to diverge as the movement to prohibition intensified in the U.S. while it subsided in Canada until First World War. The 1898 referendum was thus a turning point in the Canadian history of alcohol regulation.
