Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Party
Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative Party: A “Great Renewal” or Continued Disarray? Paper presented to the Roblin Professorship Conference - Manitoba Politics, Government and Policy into the 21st Century November 2008 Draft Working Paper – Please do no cite without permission from the author Kelly L. Saunders, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Brandon University Brandon, MB [email protected] I. Introduction At the annual general meeting of the Manitoba Progressive Conservative Party held last spring, leader Hugh McFadyen acknowledged that while it had had some disappointing setbacks, the Party was nonetheless on the verge of a “great renewal”. In light of the Party’s diminishing fortunes over the past decade, and most recently in the May 2007 election when it suffered its worst electoral showing since 1953, McFadyen’s attempts to instill hope in his Party’s faithful is understandable. Whether the Party is simply experiencing the ebb and flow natural to all political organizations, or is suffering from a deeper, more serious malaise, however, remains disputable. What is clear is that the Conservatives, as they enter the 21st century, are at a turning point in their history. The extent to which it is able to overcome its current woes, and be viewed as a credible and realistic alternative to the governing New Democrats by a wider proportion of Manitobans, is the fundamental question before the Party today. It is also the focus of this paper. In addressing the varied challenges confronting the P.C. Party as it enters the new millennium, the paper will draw on interviews with party insiders as well as a variety of primary and secondary documents1. -

taxpayer.com http://www.taxpayer.com/newsreleases/mb/April10a-03.htm April 10, 2003 Honourable Gary Doer Premier 204 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Premier Doer, In August of 2000 your government passed Bill 4: The Election Finances Amendment Act which imposes arbitrary spending limits and regulations on citizens and citizen groups during an election period. When Bill 4 was introduced in the Legislature, it was claimed that these changes would “have reasonable limits on third-party activity during an election campaign and will continue to build on Manitoba's integrity on a level playing field during election campaigns." Unfortunately, these amendments will have an effect that is the opposite of their intent. Section 25 of the Act, which deals with citizens and citizen groups, has not been proclaimed but could come into force on a specified date of your government’s choosing. As there is a provincial election looming, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) fears that your government will proclaim this portion of the Act into force just prior to the election, thereby forcing citizens of Manitoba to comply with a new set of onerous rules or face a significant fine up to $50,000. Under the legislation citizens and citizen groups will be limited to spend only $5,000 on election advertising, which is a paltry amount compared to the $1 million political parties can spend during a campaign. These limits obstruct freedom of speech and give political parties a monopoly on ideas and debates during an election.. This is Canada Mr. Premier, not Communist China. -
Memento Mori: an Archival Strategy for Documenting Mortality on the Canadian Frontier at Red Lake, Ontario, Before 1950
Memento Mori: An Archival Strategy for Documenting Mortality on the Canadian Frontier at Red Lake, Ontario, Before 1950 by John Erwin Lavallée Richthammer A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History (Archival Studies) Joint Master’s Program University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada ©2007 Table of Contents Abstract ………………………………………………………………………….… iii Acknowledgments...………………………………………………………………. v Dedication …….………………………………………………………………….. xi Chapter One – Approaches to Archival Documentation, Local and Community History, and Mortality ………………………………………… 1 Chapter Two – A Frontier Community: Red Lake, Ontario …….……………….. 28 Chapter Three – Human and Town Ghosts: Dying and Death on the Frontier at Red Lake ……………………………………………………………… 60 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………. 112 Appendix I – Maps of the Red Lake District ……………………………………. 120 Appendix II – The Records They Are: Evidential Value in Photographs .…….... 122 Appendix III – Copyright Clearance Statement ……………………………….… 129 Bibliography ……………………………………………………………………... 130 ii Abstract Memento Mori, Latin for “remember thy death,” implores us to be mindful that death is both inevitable and inescapable. What of the records created during the process of dying and about death? Based upon wide-ranging archival research into primary documents, this thesis explores the rich sources of both official, public records, and personal, private ones, relating to mortality on the small-town Canadian frontier before 1950. The community of Red Lake, Ontario, which was established on the frontier as the result of the Red Lake gold rush of 1926, is the subject of a case study. Rather than merely cataloguing sources, this thesis illustrates that by adapting aspects from such archival appraisal methodologies as macroappraisal and documentation strategy, one is able to make available to researchers a wider range of sources relevant to the themes of dying and death. -
