This year’s 2 IPOLITICS MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2018 GOVERNOR GENERAL JULIE PAYETTE ON EXPLORING CANADA — AND SPACE Remembrance Day ceremonies and commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of the First World War was another opportunity for Payette to witness and engage in powerful discussions about war. “This year, we talked a lot about war and what it represents, both in Belgium and … at the Silver Cross Mother luncheon that we hold right after the Remembrance Day ceremony. This is such an important time, because there we have with us a mother who has lost her son, a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, in dire circumstances, and who represents all mothers who have lost a child. I think we have concluded that war is what happens when we collectively fail, when we fail to resolve our differences, to find a compromise, or just reach across. “The First World War stands as an example of the destruction that can happen when things go too far and when egos take over from rationality. Unfortunately, wars still happen, and that is where the effort of remembrance is so important. To honour those who have fallen, those who have been injured, the families, loved ones and civilians who have their lives destroyed, but also to teach the young ones to strive to get along.” Born and raised in Montreal, it was the years she spent working and living outside Canada that cemented Payette’s patriotism. “When you go abroad — and I think this is true for every nationality — home is home, Photos: Sgt Johanie Maheu, Rideau Hall © OSGG-BSGG, 2017 and it means something. It made me very much appreciate what makes Canadians who they are. I think we are a young country, full of excitement and optimism. Would you like to hear DECEMBER 2018 IPOLITICS MAGAZINE 3 GOVERNOR GENERAL JULIE PAYETTE ON EXPLORING CANADA — AND SPACE my completely unscientific and unproven theory on why I think we are optimistic?” With encouragement to proceed, Payette says, “Every three months, we become hopeful for the next season. We are now enjoying the first snow of winter, but in three months, we will be done with snow and ice and looking forward to the crocuses and daffodils of spring, to taking a chair outside, even though it is 10 degrees, and to the smell of the air when it starts to get nice and the days get longer. And then we look forward to summer and swimming in the lake, festivals and vacations. Autumn next arrives with brightly coloured leaves, apples, back to school and new beginnings. And soon, we are looking to the first snow again.” After travelling the country extensively over the past year and before, Payette says the North is the place she wishes every Canadian could visit. “Canada is an Arctic nation, with its geographical centre located in Baker Lake, Nunavut. The North is incredible to see, part of us, and truly magnificent.” In images taken before boarding the Space Shuttle Endeavour, and after piloting a Canadair CT-114 Tutor jet (also flown by the Snowbirds), Payette appears calm and happy, prompting the question: Is she afraid of anything? She responds with a quote by Nelson Mandela. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he Photos: Sgt Johanie Maheu, Rideau Hall © OSGG-BSGG, 2017 who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” To this, she adds, “I strongly believe that everybody has a spark or two or many, an interest burning in one’s heart that makes us want GOVERNOR GENERAL JULIE PAYETTE ON EXPLORING CANADA — AND SPACE to go further.

  • 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.

  • How Did Environment Play in This Election? by Aaron Freeman A
    How did environment play in this election? by Aaron Freeman A version of this article appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press on November 13, 2015. With the longest federal election campaign in modern history now behind us, and as federal officials heading to Paris for the UN Climate Meeting, the environmental community is hopeful that the new government will deliver the environmental leadership Canada urgently needs. The election’s unexpected Red Tide has meant the Liberals’ platform is now under a microscope to determine just what was promised in terms of environmental action. The platform touched on many environmental priorities, promising: a significant investment in green jobs, a national carbon price negotiated with the provinces, protections for national parks and waterways, and a modernization of Canada’s environmental assessment process. The platform also laments Canada’s loss of 71% of its clean tech market share over the previous decade, which it promises to start rebuilding. While this has led many to be cautiously optimistic about a Liberal majority, UBC political scientist Kathryn Harrison notes that many of the Liberals’ promises lacked specificity. For example: “It calls for a national price on carbon, but doesn't give any details about what that scheme would look like." Harrison adds that the Conservative, NDP and Liberal platforms all “left the door open to one or more pipelines” that would facilitate increased development of the oil sands. While Trudeau has voiced objections to the Northern Gateway pipeline, like our previous government, he supported the construction of the recently rejected Keystone XL pipeline. Ensuring that the new government’s environmental promises are kept, and reversing the years of decline in Canada’s environmental record will require leadership within all parties.

REVIEW ESSAY Bob Taylor, Editor C. P. Stylebook: A Guide for Writers and Editors Toronto: The Canadian Press 1983. $ 10.00 Reviewed by: N. Russell School of Journalism and Communications University of Regina Does the seemingly innocuous Canadian Press Stylebook wield much influence on general writ- ing style in Canada? And if -- as this writer contends -- it does, how can such influence be measured and, if necessary, contained? The questions are provoked by the recent publication of a new edition of the Stylebook, who1 ly revised and revamped. Overnight , the little blue (1966 and 1968 editions) or green (1974 and 1978) staff manual has expanded to a fat, fancy production with a $ 10.00 price tag. My own first exposure to the CP bible came when I joined the agency as a reporter in the Halifax bureau, in 1960. The 120-page manual that I was told to memorize contained a lot of mundane instruct ions on f i 1 ing wire-copy via teletype, some f i 1lers on the history of the agency and some rules on CP copy style. To a high school drop-out, many of these were useful and en1 ightening , 1ike the difference between "career" and "careen" (which the rest of the world still persists in ignoring). Some, even then, were archaic or arcane. For instance, peremptorily listed as "Under the Ban" were "chorine", "diesel ized ", natator", and "temblor" -- words that I had never encountered and which in the intervening decades I have never, ever felt any inclination to use.

    Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties by Anju Gill B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2012 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Political Science Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Anju Gill 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2017 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Anju Gill Degree: Master of Arts Title: Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties Examining Committee: Chair: Tsuyoshi Kawasaki Associate Professor Eline de Rooij Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor Mark Pickup Supervisor Associate Professor Genevieve Fuji Johnson Internal/External Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: September 21, 2017 ii Abstract The targeting of people of colour by political parties during election campaigns is often described in the media as “wooing” or “courting.” How parties engage or “woo” non- whites is not fully understood. Theories on representation provide a framework for the systematic analysis of the types of representation claims made by political actors. I expand on the political proximity approach—which suggests that public office seekers make more substantive than symbolic claims to their partisans than to non-aligned voters—by arguing that Canadian political parties view mainstream voters as their typical constituents and visible minorities, such as Indo-Canadians, as peripheral constituents. Consequently, campaign messages targeted at mainstream voters include more substantive claims than messages targeted at non-white voters.
