Each file has been assigned a number and relates to a card catalogue retained in Mr. Knowles' office. For ease of access without the card catalogue, the following index headings have been created (pages VII-XV) by the National Archives. This list contains major subject headings and sub-headings and refers researchers to specific Containers. Researchers should note that not all subjects are listed and that this list should only be used as a general guide. Many other names and subjects will be found throughout the finding aid. In addition, Container 514 contains numerous notebooks, each of which contains hundreds of handwritten nominal and subject index entries to assist researchers when consulting the collection. Each notebook spans a particular time period with nominal and subject entries arranged alphabetically therein. Each of these entries has been allotted a file number by Mr. Knowles. This file number will enable researchers to ascertain the appropriate Container number from the finding aid. Researchers should be aware that these notebooks were prepared prior to the arrangement of the collection, and in some instances, may refer to files that were not retained during the arrangement process. Researchers are advised to consult the notebooks in Container 514 until the card catalogue in Mr. Knowles office has been acquired. -iv- INDEX Containers Personal (1896-1990) ............................................ 390-397, - family correspondence ........................................... 496, 513 - genealogy - family business records - diaries - school notes - scrapbooks - highschool yearbooks - certificates - awards - Christmas and get well cards; replies 5 Personal (1915-1990) ............................................ 403-411, - family correspondence .......................................... 486-487, - personal correspondence ......................................... 496-502, - notes received in House of Commons .................................... 507 - birthday cards - Knowles' career in Parliament - Knowles' reprints from House of Commons - Knowles as Commissioner of Oaths - Knowles as Privy Councillor - Brandon University - Order of Canada - Tributes 6 Old Age Pensions (1948-1966) ............................................ 1 7 Winnipeg Issues (1949-1985) ....................................... 412-413 - Main Street Project - Sherbrook McGregor overpass - pollution of Red River 8 Winnipeg North Centre (1943-1990) ............................... 2, 413, 502 13 Winnipeg North Centre (1942-1986) ................................. 413-414 - correspondence - election congratulations 14 International Typographical Union (1924-86) ............................... 3-4 -v- - Southam Newspapers and British Columbia strike - 1964 Globe Strike - Copyright Laws - Time and Readers' Digest - correspondence - publications 16 Winnipeg South Centre (1978-1985) ..................................... 414 - correspondence - Winnipeg Fort Gary 19 Unemployment Insurance (1942-1985) ................................... 5-9, - case files ...................................................... 414-415 33 Ukranians in Canada (1951-1985) ...................................... 9, 417 - constituency letters 35 Winnipeg North Centre (1933-1989) .................................. 10-13, - Woodsworth C.C.F.

  • 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.

    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF SASKATCHEWAN SIXTH SESSION – FOURTEENTH LEGISLATURE 19th Day Tuesday, March 3rd, 1964 The Assembly met at 2:30 o’clock p.m. On the Orders of the Day WELCOME TO STUDENTS Mr. Arthur Thibault (Kinistino): — Mr. Speaker, before the Orders of the Day, I would like to introduce a fine group of students in the Speaker’s gallery. They are from Kinistino and are accompanied by their teacher, Mr. Richert, bus driver, Mr. Bridor and I know the house will join with me in wishing them a very pleasant trip her and I hope it will be an informative and a profitable one. Some Hon. Members: — HEAR! HEAR! Hon. O.A. Turnbull (Minister of Education): — Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of the house a group of students in the Speaker’s gallery, led by Mr. W.A. Ross, their teacher. This is a group that will have particular interest perhaps to the assembly, in that they are two classes representing a total of four classes that exist in the city and are listed as a vocational up-grading group. The ages of this group are between 18 and 40, they represent an unemployed group. I think it is commendable that they have availed themselves of their opportunities to take this line of training, which is in the math., sciences, English, record keeping, for a three month course and I hope that their stay here is profitable and informative. Some Hon. Members: — HEAR! HEAR! Mrs. Gladys Strum (Saskatoon City): — Before the Orders of the Day are called, I would like to bring to the attention of the house two groups of students in the west gallery from King George School, 35 students under Mrs.

  • The NDP: Manitoba's Natural Governing Party? (Draft) September
    The NDP: Manitoba’s Natural Governing Party? (Draft) September 2008 For a Conference: “Manitoba Politics and Government into the 21st Century” University of Manitoba Winnipeg November, 2008 Nelson Wiseman Dept. of Political Science University of Toronto 1 This paper peers at the Manitoba New Democratic Party through the prisms of leadership, performance, ideology, and policy. It traces the party’s development, membership, and changing bases of support. It probes the interplay of leader, party, and society, of biography and history. To understand the party, its ideas and leaders, requires an appreciation of Manitoba’s ever-evolving political sociology. The provincial NDP’s meteoric rise to power came exactly 50 years to the day after the Winnipeg General Strike ended. The party’s 1969 victory was remarkable because the NDP and its predecessor parties – the Independent Labor Party (1920-1936) and then the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) – had never been more than third parties in the legislature. Within a few short years of the NDP’s creation, however, the party catapulted into government and moved from the periphery to the centre of provincial power and from the margins into the mainstream of provincial society. The party has held office in every decade since its initial election, in 26 of the last 40 years, winning seven of 11 elections. This raises the question: Has the NDP become Manitoba’s natural governing party? What accounts for the party’s success? Consciously constructed as a mass party, it is principle, philosophy, and the membership that ostensibly drive the NDP rather than opportunism, expedience, and leaders.

  • REDUCING POVERTY 1952-1967 Summary
    REDUCING POVERTY 1952-1967 Summary Old Age Security (OAS), the first universal pension for Canadians, was introduced in 1952: · The maximum pension was $40 per month or $480 per year. · The pension was available to Canadians 70 years of age and over who had lived in Canada for at least 20 years. · Status Indians were included. · For the first time, Canadian seniors could receive a pension without undergoing a “means test1 ”. However, retirement still meant a drastically reduced standard of living for many people. There was growing public and political support for a universal, employment-based pension plan that would be portable from job to job. The provinces agreed to another Constitutional amendment to extend federal government powers beyond legislati that applied only to old age. As a result, the contributory Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP)2 were established in 1966: 1 The "Means Test" The "means test" was used to determine a senior's income, or means. The test involved provincial pension authorities calculating all aspects of a senior's income (e.g., pensions, income from boarding house operations, etc.) as well as the value of "perks" they received, such as free room and board. The means test, however, did not take into account how much money a person needed to pay for food, shelter, clothing, fuel, utilities or household supplies. If a senior's annual income, including pensions, was greater than $365, he or she was not eligible for the Old Age Pension. The income each received determined the amount of assistance to which he or she was entitled.

  • A Reconnaissance of Saskatchewan's State
    Care Regardless of The Ability to Pay: A Reconnaissance of Saskatchewan’s State Hospital and Medical League By Aaron William Goss 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 Joint-Masters Program University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2013 by Aaron William Goss ABSTRACT The State Hospital and Medical League was a broadly based organization founded in 1936 and dedicated to achieving State Medicine, a fully funded holistic preventative and curative system, for Saskatchewan. Its study allows us to fill in gaps in what has been a primarily policy level historiography of Canadian medicare. Using Ian McKay's reconnaissance model, we also look at it as a locus for challenges to the entrenched, liberal and individualistic political social and professional hegemony. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to first of all thank my advisor, Esyllt Jones. Without her, I would not have embarked upon this research, and her suggestions have, from the beginning pushed me along a most satisfying and unexpected course of research. I also must thank her for the patience and understanding she has shown as this project has developed, sometimes haltingly. To my committee members, Barry Ferguson, James Hanley and Andrea Rounce, thank you for your thoughtful and thought-provoking insights, questions and criticisms. To my editors, Jill McConkey, Kathryn Patanaude and Danny Stevens, heartfelt thanks for all of your time, effort and for helping me to make this paper better than I ever could have on my own.
