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.

  • Identity Politicking: New Candidacies and Representations in Contemporary Canadian Politics
    Identity Politicking: New Candidacies and Representations in Contemporary Canadian Politics by Teresa-Elise Maiolino A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by Teresa-Elise Maiolino 2017 Identity Politicking: New Candidacies and Representations in Contemporary Canadian Politics Teresa-Elise Maiolino Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This dissertation centres on the candidacies and leaderships of three politicians—Justin Trudeau, Olivia Chow, and Kathleen Wynne. It examines the ways in which gender, race, sexuality, and other salient aspects of politicians’ identities are strategically negotiated and mobilized by politicians, political actors, the media, and the grassroots. The cases herein question the extent to which identity matters in Canadian electoral politics at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels, bridging sociological understandings of power and authority with feminist analyses of identity. The project engages broadly with qualitative methods—discourse analysis, media analysis, participant observation, and interviewing. The research contributes to understandings of: (1) the durability of masculinity in Canadian electoral politics; (2) dispositional requirements for leaders; (3) the compensatory labour that minority politicians perform; (4) alignments and allegiances between politicians and grassroots movements. The first case of the dissertation examines media coverage of a charity-boxing match between Liberal Member of Parliament Justin Trudeau and Conservative Canadian Senator Patrick Brazeau. It offers the concept recuperative gender strategies to describe how political leaders work to restore their public gender identities. The second case is focused on the candidacy of visible minority Toronto mayoral candidate, Olivia Chow.

  • Torstar Corporation Welcomes Single-Event Sports Wagering to Canada Plans to Include Sports Wagering As Part of Its Ontario-Based Internet Gaming Business
    Torstar Corporation Welcomes Single-Event Sports Wagering to Canada Plans to include sports wagering as part of its Ontario-based internet gaming business FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TORONTO, Ontario (July 6, 2021) – Torstar Corporation today applauded the Government of Ontario's announcement of iGaming Ontario, a new subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). iGaming Ontario is an agency of the Government of Ontario that conducts and manages internet gaming in the province when provided by private gaming operators. "Torstar supports a legal and regulated iGaming market that will provide consumer choice, consumer protections, a return to taxpayers and a robust responsible gaming program," said Jordan Bitove, co- owner of Torstar. The announcement comes on the heels of the Parliament and Senate of Canada passing Bill C-218, the Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act. It is an Act to amend the Criminal Code to allow for single-event sports betting. Torstar intends to include single-event sports wagering with the launch of an online casino betting brand in Q4 2021 in the regulated Ontario online gaming market. "We are excited to offer sports wagering as part of our product offering in a regulated online Ontario gaming market with a made-in-Ontario sports product," said John Boynton, Vice-Chair of NordStar Capital, the parent company of Torstar. "We believe the exciting sports coverage that our world-class sports journalists create will complement our sports wagering platform." The Canadian Gaming Association (CGA) has stated that more than $10 billion is bet annually through illegal bookmaking operations in Canada, usually operated by organized crime organizations.
