September 2013 Remember the Sabbath
ANGLICAN JOURNAL Inspiring the faithful since 1875 vol. 139 no. 7 september 2013 Remember the Sabbath September seems to be all about gearing up for back to school, back to work, back to the rat race after the fleeting reprieve of summer holidays (if you had any). The promise that computers and labour-saving technology would mean more leisure time for everyone now seems laughable in the face of statistics that clearly show most people are working harder and longer than ever. In the midst of that busyness, and the stress that comes with it, the Journal poses the question, have we forgotten Sabbath? “Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work” is the fourth commandment (Ex. 20:8–10a), but what does it mean in a society that can shop, work and chatter online 24/7? What have we lost? What does it cost? What is the church’s role in calling people to keep the Sabbath? —Leigh Anne Williams See RX, p. 8 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace.

Speaker Selection As Strategic Dissent in the Ontario Legislature
Weapons of the (Politically) Weak? Speaker Selection as Strategic Dissent in the Ontario Legislature Paper prepared for the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA) Annual Conference. Wilfrid Laurier University. Waterloo, Ontario. May 16-18, 2011. By Zac Spicer PhD Candidate [email protected] The University of Western Ontario and John L. Nater PhD Candidate [email protected] The University of Western Ontario Work in progress – do not cite without the permission of the authors Abstract: The majority of academic studies examining legislative dissent have focused on public acts of dissent – that is, legislators physically standing and voting against their party or criticizing them in the media. This is understandable, as nearly all votes in legislatures are public. However, there is a lone secret ballot vote conducted in legislatures: the vote to elect a Speaker. In this paper, we examine Speaker selection in Ontario and find that in the seven votes to select a Speaker since the Ontario legislature began using a secret ballot, the Premier has rarely seen his choice for Speaker elected. In four out of seven votes, their caucus has voted against them. We ask why this private act of dissent is more common than public acts of dissent, testing three factors identified as likely to increase dissent: party popularity, cabinet size and the percentage of new MPs entering the party at each legislative term. We find that individual level indicators best explain the paradox of private acts of dissent and that the Speaker selection process involves three groups of actors, each with their own preference order in decision-making: 1) the government backbench, 2) the Premier‘s Office, the Premier and Cabinet and 3) the opposition. -

As The Auroran reported this spring, Aurora's Town Council was considering ways on how $33 million garnered from the sale of Aurora Hydro in 2006 could be used. The matter came to a head earlier this year when Councillors considered the future of the pro- posed youth centre, which has now been rebranded as a "community space for youth." Rather than renovating and building onto an existing facility like the Aurora Family Leisure Complex, which was the way Council even- tually leaned, Councillor Evelyn Buck put forward a motion looking at the possibility of using this money to raze underused buildings along Victoria Street between Church and Mosley and building a new, multi-storey, multi-purpose facility which could have a youth drop in as one of its many components. Such a building would replace the old Aurora Public Library building, which is currently used by the Town for some storage, office space, and rented out to community groups, and the adjacent former site of the Aurora Seniors’ Centre. -
