We published it as a glossy magazine, called it Power & Infl uence, and a little star was born. So here we are, back with the seventh edition, bigger and better. But it’s not easy coming up with top 100 lists, however, we try to offer the best list possible. This year it’s 101. Bea Vongdouangchanh, deputy editor of The Hill Times, who has been putting together the top annual 100 list for the last fi ve years, spent about two months talking to Conservatives, lobbyists, New Democrats, and Liberals about this year’s list. Mark Bourrie, a bestselling author and journalist, wrote 60 profi les in this year’s Power & Infl uence 2013 magazine. Ms. Vongdouangchanh, along with Hill Times reporters Jessica Bruno and Laura Ryckewaert, each wrote a handful more profi les. Not every person on the list has been profi led this year, but they are all the top players to watch in 2013. In addition to the top 101 list, Power & Infl uence features some of the powerful places, innovative ideas, and some personal stories about life on the Hill that extend beyond the Ottawa bubble. Ms. Bruno and Ms. Ryckewaert tracked down MPs with interesting art, both in their offi ces and on their bodies. Ms. Bruno also gives readers the rundown on the best political parties of the year as well as the best bars and watering holes where politicos like to hang out in Ottawa. Adding to that, Christopher Guly writes about the Château Laurier’s glamorous 100-year history in the nation’s capital and how it has been the venue for many major federal politi- cal events. Hill Times reporter Chris Plecash tackles the energy and environment fi les through a Q&A interview with Alberta Progressive Conservative Premier Alison Redford and in-depth story on Canada’s energy policies.

    The Honourable Marc Garneau P.C., M.P. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Global Affairs Canada 125 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2 Tuesday, June 22nd 2021 Object: Audit of the financial and personal connections of Hong Kong officials in Canada Dear Minister, We the undersigned, are writing to raise our concern about the deteriorating human rights situation in Hong Kong and to urge the Canadian Government to undertake an audit of the financial and personal connections Hong Kong officials have in Canada. In the recent months, we have seen Beijing continue its crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong with the mass arrest and charging of 47 pro-democracy activists under the National Security Law, the introduction of electoral reform which would prevent pro- democracy parties from standing for election, the freezing of the owner of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai’s assets, the passing of an Immigration Bill which would give the Chinese Government the power to restrict freedom of movement into and out of the city, and the banning of the June 4 Tiananmen Square vigil. In the middle of Beijing’s destruction of Hong Kong’s autonomy, rule of law, and way of life, stand thousands of Canadian citizens who are fearful of their future in the city. They are desperately waiting on the Canadian Government and its allies to act. With nearly every prominent pro-democracy voice in Hong Kong in jail, awaiting trial, or overseas in exile, it is clear that there is an increased need for a robust and coordinated response against the Hong Kong officials who are responsible for human rights abuses and the crackdown on the pro- democracy movement in the city.

  • 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.
