  • Volume 24 1997 Issue 73
    Review of African Political Economy No.73:307-310 © ROAPE Publications Ltd., 1997 ISSN 0305-6244; RIX #7301 Commentary Ray Bush & Morris Szeftel This issue continues the critical evaluation of aspects of Africa's economic and political crisis offered in previous editions of the ROAPE Review of Books in the hope of an effective alternative to prevailing notions. In the present conjuncture, the dominant forces of global capitalism restrict the policy agenda with regard to arresting economic decline, ethnic conflict and state disintegration. Structural adjustment (imposing externally-regulated liberalisation) and liberal democratic political reform (largely confined to electoral competition among a small elite and the sponsorship of civil society) have been the only games in town. The evidence is everywhere that this narrow agenda is inadequate for the task. Its apologists defend it, not by pointing to their successes or their intellectual coherence and elegance, but by reiterating that there are no alternatives. Hence the need to encourage the widest range of critical contributions in that hope that, from them, alternatives will begin to emerge. The need for a new agenda is manifest. Economic restructuring, after 25 years of failure and despite the continuing brutality of its social impact, draws only muted criticism. Despite these failures, and notwithstanding occasional hand-wringing by the World Bank (as it accepts that mistakes have been made and launches a new slogan), Africa continues to be 'adjusted' to fit it for its station on the margins of world capitalist markets. The disappointments of democratisation are more recent and thus less fully explored. But the limitations of political pluralism as a means of promoting democratisation and overcoming the instability, ineffectiveness and corruption of post-colonial states, are already clear.

  • Transportation Factsheet Overview
    Transportation Factsheet Overview Whether it’s by car, bicycle, transit or walking, being able to move around easily is an important component of a healthy and dynamic city. Transportation has been identified as the most important issue by many Torontonians. This is likely because it’s becoming increasingly difficult to travel within and between cities in the region (Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)). There are a number of key issues affecting our region’s mobility. There has been a lack of transit infrastructure investment (streetcars, subways, light rail) from all levels of government over the past several decades; Development and growth within the suburbs means increased traffic congestion coming from all areas of the GTHA but there are difficulties in managing regional transportation Office space is scattered throughout the GTA and much of it is not located close to rapid transit, making commuting by transit difficult. (Think about offices and businesses at the Airport Corporate Centre in Mississauga – it’s very difficult to get there by transit); Generally our roads were built to accommodate cars. Cycling is becoming more popular, especially in urban centres like Toronto. However, cities in the GTHA have been slow to adapt and invest in cycling infrastructure; The suburbs that are throughout the GTA were made for the car, low density making servicing those areas by transit expensive. Transit affordability has been an ongoing concern for the City and with the recent increase in TTC fares, this is only going to get worse. Currently, every TTC rider pays the same adult, senior, student, or child fare, regardless of their ability to pay.

  • This Paper Seeks to Expand the Scope of These Two Seemingly Separate
    Provincial-International Relations: Exploring the International Involvement of the Ontario Legislature Natalie Tutunzis, Ontario Legislature Internship Programme This paper seeks to explore the international involvement, or the international relations, of the Ontario Legislature. It will be shown that local parliamentarians, as exemplified by the involvement of the Ontario Legislature, have important roles to play internationally. Not only do provincial-international relations exist at the legislative level, but they occur quite frequently and in a diverse manner of ways. The paper will outline and describe such relations as they occur between the Ontario Legislature and foreign legislatures or other bodies, as exemplified through the Legislature’s involvement in interparliamentary organizations and delegations, as well as through the pursuit of international initiatives advanced by members, Officers, and affiliates of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. In addition to describing the actions that have and are currently taking place, the paper will begin a discussion about the general purposes of such international relations at the provincial parliamentary level, as well as discuss their perceived effectiveness. It will be argued that these relations have distinct purposes, which have, in many cases, achieved positive results. While literature on provincial-international legislative relations does exist, it is still remains quite sparse. However, the limited background that does exists on the matter nonetheless points to how frequently such relations occur, their significance, and even more so, how worthy they are of further exploration. Overall, this paper attempts to expand on the existing literature by providing an up-to-date account of the international involvement of provincial parliaments, using the Ontario Legislature as its case study.

Their requests are apparently based on Draft Policies which have not been formally introduced or discussed in the house. These articles have been reported by media, but in subsequent communications from the provincial government in response to such articles, they have steadfastly reiterated their commitment to expanding access to natural gas in rural Ontario. With all due respect, it is unacceptable and frankly insulting that attempts are made by some to influence the Ontario Energy Board based on rumors and newspaper reports. Particularly without having or requesting input from others involved in the hearing who may have a different view on this important issue. Based on our understanding, and based on dealings with other arm’s length Boards appointed by the Province, it is a Board’s duty and obligation to act and consider matters before the Board. Not to act, or react or interfere with ongoing proceedings based on rumours or based on something that may or may not take place in the future is wrong.
