Celebrating their 50th anniversary since graduation are: Thomas Walker ’66, Jeremy Dawson ’66 and Keven Van Camp ‘66. 4 St John’s College at 150 A Symposium held Thursday 27th April Retired Fellow Jack Bumstead delivered the morning keynote, which was followed by papers on the early days of the Red River Settlement and St John’s College. After lunch Retired Fellow Anthony Waterman, ‘62 delivered the keynote. The programme continued bringing the College into the 20th century and ending with Stirling Walkes, ’64 talking about “The Carribean Invasion”. Here is an except from Stirling’s comments: ‘The Caribbean Invasion’ of the UofM started in the late 1950’s and ended in the latter part of the 1960’s. I was part of that invasion ar- riving at St John’s in 1960. I came after a year in the U.S. and was pleasantly surprised to find many high school colleagues already Toasting the Queen is Ted here. We came to St John’s because the College (through Hugh Gammon ’67. and Jeanne Tuckwell) advertised in the local newspapers in the late 1950’s, encouraging Barbadian students to consider advancing their “Thank you so much for education through St John’s and the UofM.

    April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine Mckenna Minister of Infrastructure

    April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Infrastructure and Communities [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna, We write as twenty (20) business organizations representing a broad cross-section of Manitoba’s economy collectively employing tens of thousands of women and men. Those industries include engineering & consulting, heavy civil and 2 vertical construction, commercial and residential development, manufacturing & exporting, retail, agriculture, commercial trucking and skilled trades. Our appeal to the federal government is that it assist in our provincial economic recovery by accelerating the approvals of and flexibility in the allocation from federal programs. Such measures would enable funding of key Manitoba projects that would immediately procure jobs, build legacy assets and be key instruments in help kick-staring Manitoba’s economy. The above is necessary to help correct the lack of confidence in the economy by all its sectors, the alarm, anxiety and fear of what lies ahead around the corner, and indeed where that corner is. That has led to private-sector projects being deferred or outright canceled. Those decision have resulted in lost jobs, supply and equipment sales, all of which reduces the collective ROI to GDP. Addressing consumer and investor confidence is critical to our recovery. In that regard, we understand the Province of Manitoba has communicated its commitment to flow its capital programs, harnessing investment in infrastructure to help Manitoba’s economy recover. We are told Manitoba has more than $6B in project submissions for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) with many being shovel ready. We urge the federal government to make the most of the current market conditions - competitive bid prices and extraordinarily low interest rates - to meet the formidable economic challenge in front of us.
  • How Did Environment Play in This Election? by Aaron Freeman A

    How Did Environment Play in This Election? by Aaron Freeman A

    How did environment play in this election? by Aaron Freeman A version of this article appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press on November 13, 2015. With the longest federal election campaign in modern history now behind us, and as federal officials heading to Paris for the UN Climate Meeting, the environmental community is hopeful that the new government will deliver the environmental leadership Canada urgently needs. The election’s unexpected Red Tide has meant the Liberals’ platform is now under a microscope to determine just what was promised in terms of environmental action. The platform touched on many environmental priorities, promising: a significant investment in green jobs, a national carbon price negotiated with the provinces, protections for national parks and waterways, and a modernization of Canada’s environmental assessment process. The platform also laments Canada’s loss of 71% of its clean tech market share over the previous decade, which it promises to start rebuilding. While this has led many to be cautiously optimistic about a Liberal majority, UBC political scientist Kathryn Harrison notes that many of the Liberals’ promises lacked specificity. For example: “It calls for a national price on carbon, but doesn't give any details about what that scheme would look like." Harrison adds that the Conservative, NDP and Liberal platforms all “left the door open to one or more pipelines” that would facilitate increased development of the oil sands. While Trudeau has voiced objections to the Northern Gateway pipeline, like our previous government, he supported the construction of the recently rejected Keystone XL pipeline. Ensuring that the new government’s environmental promises are kept, and reversing the years of decline in Canada’s environmental record will require leadership within all parties.

    MANITOBA ECO-NETWORK 3rd Floor 303 Portage Ave., Winnipeg MB R3B 2B4 Tel: 204-947-6511 www.mbeconetwork.org June 15 2021 The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada via email: [email protected] Mr. Terry Duguid Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of ECCC via email: [email protected] Dear Minister Wilkinson and Mr. Duguid, Since 1988, Manitoba Eco-Network (MbEN), a non-profit charitable organization, has promoted positive environmental action by supporting people and groups in our community. MbEN’s programming focuses on policy advocacy, engagement in consultation processes and developing capacity building tools that benefit the environmental non-profit sector and our member groups. Working to secure the health of our waters is a priority for us because healthy watersheds support healthy communities, ecosystems, and economies. If our water is in trouble, so are we. Climate change, urban and agricultural development, and resource extraction are putting our waters at risk. Water supply is becoming increasingly erratic, droughts and floods are becoming more common across the country, and water quality in many areas is rapidly deteriorating, impacting our drinking water and places of recreation. To address these issues and prevent a water crisis, we need strong and appropriate leadership from many governments, including the federal government. Earlier this year, we co-hosted a public forum, which focused on the regional needs of a well planned Canada Water Agency. We also joined 50 other organizations to send recommendations on what an agency could and should be. The submission detailed five cross- cutting foundational pillars that we believe need to be mainstreamed in every aspect of the Canada Water Agency’s development, structure, and operations.

  • Bibliography on Human Security

    Bibliography on Human Security

    Bibliography on Human Security Prepared by the Harvard Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research August 2001 SOURCES ON HUMAN SECURITY Prepared by the Harvard Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research Research Assistant: Stacie Waters Introduction Human security is a contested concept. There is consensus among its proponents of human that the ‘referent object’ object of security should be the individual rather than the state, but no consensus with respect to the threats to individuals that should be included under the human security rubric. The ‘broad’ conception of human security promoted by the United Nations Development Programme in 1994, and now also associated with the Japanese government, includes a broad variety of threats to human well-being – disease, hunger and pollution – as well as violence. Proponents of narrower conceptions of human security argue that conflating a range of different harms to persons serves no good analytic purpose. This bibliography is based on searches for publications in which the term ‘human security’ appears. This approach has one important drawback. Much work that that deals with the substance of human security issues does not use the term human security at all. In this sense the bibliography is incomplete and remains a work in progress. Scope of the Bibliography The bibliography includes books, chapters in books, journal and magazine articles, scholarly papers, manuscripts, speeches, presentations, reports, and government publications, including official statements, political agreements, and press releases. Search Methodology The primary source of data was the Internet, which was searched using a number of tools. Additional resources used included Harvard University’s card catalog, and other sources, including Lexis Nexis, J-Stor and CiaoNet.
