  • The NDP's Approach to Constitutional Issues Has Not Been Electorally
    Constitutional Confusion on the Left: The NDP’s Position in Canada’s Constitutional Debates Murray Cooke [email protected] First Draft: Please do not cite without permission. Comments welcome. Paper prepared for the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, June 2004, Winnipeg The federal New Democratic Party experienced a dramatic electoral decline in the 1990s from which it has not yet recovered. Along with difficulties managing provincial economies, the NDP was wounded by Canada’s constitutional debates. The NDP has historically struggled to present a distinctive social democratic approach to Canada’s constitution. Like its forerunner, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the NDP has supported a liberal, (English-Canadian) nation-building approach that fits comfortably within the mainstream of Canadian political thought. At the same time, the party has prioritized economic and social polices rather than seriously addressing issues such as the deepening of democracy or the recognition of national or regional identities. Travelling without a roadmap, the constitutional debates of the 80s and 90s proved to be a veritable minefield for the NDP. Through three rounds of mega- constitutional debate (1980-82, 1987-1990, 1991-1992), the federal party leadership supported the constitutional priorities of the federal government of the day, only to be torn by disagreements from within. This paper will argue that the NDP’s division, lack of direction and confusion over constitution issues can be traced back to longstanding weaknesses in the party’s social democratic theory and strategy. First of all, the CCF- NDP embraced rather than challenged the parameters and institutions of liberal democracy.

  • Inside Welcome! Carp Lake Windstorm
    BC Parks Newsletter December 2000 Volume 11, Number 6 Welcome! Carp Lake Windstorm by Rick Heathman, Prince George District Carp Lake Park is one of my favourites and on July 31 I took my sons and their friend out camping and fishing. We arrived in early evening, and around 7:00 p.m. it really clouded up and became so unusually dark that I had to turn the lights on inside the camper to shed the gloom. A little later I noticed a breeze start to blow offshore to the south, but after a few minutes it slowed and became quite still, then suddenly reversed and started to blow briskly onshore. I went out to tie things down for the night. Suddenly I could hear a roar of Honourable Ian Waddell, wind and stems snapping like gunfire. I screamed at the kids to get out of the trees Minister of Environment, Lands and we raced the short distance into a parking lot and watched as trees crashed to and Parks the ground, branches flew by like bullets, and people ran for their lives. When the rain and hail subsided it was a scene of true devastation.

  • ACTION PLAN Authorized by Financial Agent Arnedo Lucas (778-558-4098) Copyright 2018 YES Vancouver Party PREFACE
    ACTION PLAN Authorized by Financial Agent Arnedo Lucas (778-558-4098) Copyright 2018 YES Vancouver Party PREFACE Over the coming days and weeks, we will be announcing our policies on the many other issues facing our city. Today, we are addressing the most pressing issue: our housing crisis. There are many passionate opinions about the causes and solutions to our housing crisis. They’ve been some of the most contentious Vancouver dinner table discussions for years. However, passionate debates must now make way for compassionate ones. We must accept that there is no you vs. me and only we. We love our city, and we need to say YES to loving our neighbours. We cannot afford to play the politics of division when we have such a crisis before us. We need to stop saying “NO.” Saying “NO” to making room for people in our city has got us into this crisis. YES Vancouver will: • Legalize and build more affordable housing, • Target speculators, not homeowners • Clean up the development and permitting process, and • Build thriving, inclusive neighbourhoods for families. There was a time in my own life where, as a young person, our family lost everything and we became homeless despite working hard and doing the right things. There are many people in the same position today. Over the past ten years, we’ve witnessed a 30% increase in homelessness due to everyday Vancouverites losing their access to decent rental accommodations, and we’ve also seen 9,000 fewer children in our classrooms because families had to flee Vancouver. 3 Many seniors are being forced out of the city they’ve known all their lives because we refuse to legalize anything other than large single-family homes in the neighbourhoods where they could live closer to their children.

  • The Structure of Municipal Voting in Vancouver
    The Structure of Municipal Voting in Vancouver David A. Armstrong II Western University Jack Lucas University of Calgary May 31, 2021 Abstract In this paper, we offer a new interpretation of the structure of municipal electoral competition in Vancouver, focusing on the city's high-profile municipal election in 2018. Using novel \cast vote records" { a dataset containing each of the 176,450 ballots cast in the city's municipal election { we use a Bayesian multidimensional scaling procedure to estimate the location of every 2018 candidate and voter in Van- couver in a shared two-dimensional political space. We then match observed votes from the cast vote records to survey responses in the Canadian Municipal Election Study (CMES), a large election survey undertaken in Vancouver in 2018, using 96 CMES variables to interpret our two measured dimensions of electoral competi- tion. We find evidence of a single primary dimension of competition, structured by left-right ideology, along with a secondary dimension dividing establishment from upstart parties of the right. Our paper supplies a new interpretation of Vancouver's electoral landscape, clarifies our understanding of the role of left-right ideology in Canadian municipal political competition, and demonstrates the promise of cast vote records for research on municipal elections and voting. Keywords: Vancouver politics; municipal elections; municipal politics; measurement; multidimensional scaling; Bayesian estimation 1 1 Introduction Political scientists on the hunt for generalization often ignore the odd and idiosyncratic { and in the world of Canadian city politics, there are few places more idiosyncratic than Vancouver. In most cities, voters choose their preferred councillor from among a handful of competitors; in Vancouver, they select up to ten councillors from a cacophonous list of forty or fifty names.

  • The Difficulties of Combating Inequality in Time
    The Difficulties of Combating Inequality in Time Jane Jenson, Francesca Polletta & Paige Raibmon Abstract: Scholars have argued that disadvantaged groups face an impossible choice in their efforts to win policies capable of diminishing inequality: whether to emphasize their sameness to or difference from the advantaged group. We analyze three cases from the 1980s and 1990s in which reformers sought to avoid that dilemma and assert groups’ sameness and difference in novel ways: in U.S. policy on bio- medical research, in the European Union’s initiatives on gender equality, and in Canadian law on Indig- enous rights. In each case, however, the reforms adopted ultimately reproduced the sameness/difference dilemma rather than transcended it. To explain why, we show how profound disagreements about both the histories of the groups included in the policy and the place of the policy in a longer historical trajec- tory of reform either went unrecognized or were actively obscured. Targeted groups came to be attribut- ed a biological or timeless essence, not because this was inevitable, we argue, but because of these fail- ures to historicize inequality. Efforts to legislate or judicially confirm rights to equality often prove disappointing, even for those with clear-eyed aspirations. There are many rea- sons for the gap between the aspiration and the re- sult, but a deceptively simple one is that political actors define equality in ways that restrict its scope and substance. On some accounts, the problem can be characterized in terms of the sameness/differ- jane jenson is Professor Em- ence dilemma.1 Equality sometimes has been de- erita of Political Science at the fined as meaning that members of the disadvan- Université de Montréal.
