  • Manitoba Liberal Party Today Is a Small ‘L’ Liberal Party Similar to the Moderate Centre-Left Federal Liberal Party
    MANITOBA’S LIBERALS: SLIDING INTO THIRD November 9, 2008 For presentation to the conference: “Manitoba Politics, Government and Policy into the 21st Century” St. John’s College, University of Manitoba Winnipeg November 20-22, 2008 Introduction The essential task in analyzing the history of the Liberal Party of Manitoba is explaining how it became Manitoba’s third party. Manitoba’s Liberals have deep roots in the province’s history, including participation in a government that lasted three and half decades in the mid-20th century. Why then have they arrived at their current diminished state: two seats in the legislature, just 12% of the vote in May 22, 2007 provincial election? When viewed from elsewhere in Canada there is much about Manitoba that suggests one could expect to find a strong Liberal presence here. For example, it has much of the urban, ethnically diverse character traditionally associated with Liberal strength in Ontario. Indeed Nelson Wiseman characterized Manitoba as the “Ontario of the prairies” because the wave of immigrants from Ontario during Manitoba’s first few decades had a formative impact on its political culture.1 However, the Ontario immigrants were British and prosperous, settling the good farmlands in Manitoba’s south and west. Indeed it helps to understand the state of Manitoba’s Liberals by comparing their situation to that of the Liberal Party in Ontario. Today Ontario Liberals are in a markedly different position than their Manitoba counterparts. The Ontario party has had considerable electoral success over the past few decades. Since 1987 it has won three decisive majority victories in Ontario elections, and by 2011 will have governed the province for 13 out of 26 years.

  • ANNUAL REPORT Each One of Us Brings Something Special, Something Necessary to Making Winnipeg a Better Place to Live
    2003 | 2004 ANNUAL REPORT Each one of us brings something special, something necessary to making Winnipeg a better place to live. When “we” work together, our individual contributions multiply into the strength and confidence of “we”. And “we” all benefit. United Way makes “we” happen. It’s about “We” A few years ago, the Board of Trustees and other Winnipeggers envisioned a renewed United Way – one that would centralize around a community mandate and engage the community in meaningful ways to achieve it. They envisioned a United Way that would measure impact over the long-term, impact that would be sustainable, measured in changed lives and improved conditions, for all of us. Since the articulation of this vision, each consecutive board has laid important pieces of a foundation that has rebuilt and redefined United Way from a fundraising and fund allocating organization into a catalyst for community change. This year, the Board has not only continued to build upon this vision, as you will see in the pages of this annual report, it has set a course for the future with a three- year plan that focuses on three key elements of community building – engagement, capacity building and impact. The three-year plan recognizes that real community change happens as people: acknowledge the need for change and begin to take active interest in making it happen; build their capacity to effect the change; and focus their efforts in a way that will make the change meaningful, relevant and sustainable over the long term. It’s a plan for the future on which we can all place our hands.

Many memorable events we could not cover, but who can forget the anxiety of the Formosa crisis; Marilyn Bell's crossing of Lake Ontario; Mendes-France's reforms as France's premier; the shooting of Beria and the fall of Malenkov, and the British Empire Games in Van- couver.

  • Interview with Charles Huband*
    Interview with Charles Huband LANE FOSTER I. THE 1950S LAW SCHOOL EXPERIENCE Lane Foster (LF): We are here to talk about legal education: where it is been, and where it is going and more generally about your law school experience. Particularly, we are interested in your perspective as someone who has used their legal education in practice, in politics, and as a judge. To start, what was the education model like when you went through law school? I think it was the apprenticeship model while you were in school. What did you think of the program? Charles Huband (CH): I graduated in 1955, and law school consisted of four years instead of three. It was four years of articling where you would work in a law firm as a student: articling for the afternoon, and go to the university in the morning. Usually, you would continue to work for the firm in the summer. The academic side was very weak at the Manitoba Law School at the time. The Dean and the Registrar were the only two full-time employees of the faculty. Everyone else was just a lecturer brought in for a particular subject. Some of the lecturers were good; some of them were awful. There was no real way to assess the quality, but I would say most of them were mediocre or sliding into pretty awful. LF: Which firm were you articling with? Did students article with just one firm? Interview conducted by Lane Foster. Charles Huband graduated from the University of Manitoba with an LL.B.
