Winners tied At exactly noon Friday, two of The Auroran’s telephone lines lit up. The editor answered one, the receptionist the other. Both callers identified last week’s front page picture contest as being “reversed” and both were assured they were the first caller, according to the rules set out. So both get a non-alcoholic dinner for two at Jonathan’s, since it would be rude to call one back and say they lost when, in fact, they did- n’t. Winners were Alvin Thompson and Vicki MacNeil. Why the reversed picture? Well, since the photo was taken “from the street”, (a clue to the answer) the reflection in the window of the store across the road revealed backward lettering. The editor decided if it ran the way it was taken, it would “look wrong”, so the production department reversed the picture, making the lettering readable.

  • The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns
    Choice or Consensus?: The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns Jared J. Wesley PhD Candidate Department of Political Science University of Calgary Paper for Presentation at: The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan May 30, 2007 Comments welcome. Please do not cite without permission. CHOICE OR CONSENSUS?: THE 2006 FEDERAL LIBERAL AND ALBERTA CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGNS INTRODUCTION Two of Canada’s most prominent political dynasties experienced power-shifts on the same weekend in December 2006. The Liberal Party of Canada and the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta undertook leadership campaigns, which, while different in context, process and substance, produced remarkably similar outcomes. In both instances, so-called ‘dark-horse’ candidates emerged victorious, with Stéphane Dion and Ed Stelmach defeating frontrunners like Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae, Jim Dinning, and Ted Morton. During the campaigns and since, Dion and Stelmach have been labeled as less charismatic than either their predecessors or their opponents, and both of the new leaders have drawn skepticism for their ability to win the next general election.1 This pair of surprising results raises interesting questions about the nature of leadership selection in Canada. Considering that each race was run in an entirely different context, and under an entirely different set of rules, which common factors may have contributed to the similar outcomes? The following study offers a partial answer. In analyzing the platforms of the major contenders in each campaign, the analysis suggests that candidates’ strategies played a significant role in determining the results. Whereas leading contenders opted to pursue direct confrontation over specific policy issues, Dion and Stelmach appeared to benefit by avoiding such conflict.

    Who Framed Belinda Stronach? National Newspaper Coverage of the Conservative Party of Canada’s 2004 Leadership Race Paper presented to the 2005 Canadian Political Science Association Conference London, Ontario June 4, 2005 Linda Trimble, Professor Political Science Department University of Alberta 12-26 HM Tory Bldg. Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2H4 [email protected] 2 Who Framed Belinda Stronach? National Newspaper Coverage of the Conservative Party of Canada’s 2004 Leadership Race Paper presented to the 2005 Canadian Political Science Association Conference London, Ontario June 4, 2005 Linda Trimble, Professor Political Science Department University of Alberta 12-26 HM Tory Bldg. Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2H4 [email protected] Abstract If masculine norms define political leadership roles and shape media coverage of leadership contests they are likely to be revealed by press coverage of serious challenges by women for the leadership of competitive political parties. The new Conservative Party of Canada’s inaugural leadership race featured such a candidate, Belinda Stronach. While Stronach lost the leadership to Stephen Harper on the first ballot, she ran a well-financed, staffed and organized campaign, enjoyed considerable backing from party insiders, and placed a respectable second. This paper reports the results of a content analysis of all news stories, opinion pieces, editorials and columns published about the leadership race in Canada’s national newspapers, the Globe and Mail and the National Post, from January 13 to March 22, 2004. It reveals striking differences in the amount of coverage accorded the candidates, as well as sexist framing and gendered evaluations of the female candidate. While Belinda Stronach’s campaign received a plethora of media attention, a considerable amount of it scrutinized her looks, wardrobe, sexual availability and personal background while mocking her leadership aspirations and deriding her qualifications for political office.

  • Ministerial Staff: the Life and Times of Parliament’S Statutory Orphans
    MINISTERIAL STAFF: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF PARLIAMENT’S STATUTORY ORPHANS Liane E. Benoit Acknowledgements Much of the primary research in support of this paper was gathered through interviews with more than twenty former and current public servants, lobbyists, and ex-exempt staff. I am sincerely grateful to each of them for their time, their candour and their willingness to share with me the benefit of their experience and insights on this important subject. I would also like to acknowledge the generous assistance of Cathi Corbett,Chief Librarian at the Canada School of Public Service,without whose expertise my searching and sleuthing would have proven far more challenging. 145 146 VOLUME 1: PARLIAMENT,MINISTERS AND DEPUTY MINISTERS And lastly, my sincere thanks to C.E.S Franks, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University, for his guidance and support throughout the development of this paper and his faith that, indeed, I would someday complete it. 1 Where to Start 1.1 Introduction Of the many footfalls heard echoing through Ottawa’s corridors of power, those that often hit hardest but bear the least scrutiny belong to an elite group of young, ambitious and politically loyal operatives hired to support and advise the Ministers of the Crown. Collectively known as “exempt staff,”1 recent investigations by the Public Accounts Committee and the Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities,hereafter referred to as the “Sponsorship Inquiry”, suggest that this group of ministerial advisors can, and often do, exert a substantial degree of influence on the development,and in some cases, administration, of public policy in Canada.

  • Ontario Golf Awareness Day
    Ontario Golf Awareness Day Photo credits: Denis Drever Ontario Golf Awareness Day April 20th, 2011 The Ontario Allied Golf Association (OAGA) kicked off the golf season with a visit to Queen’s Park on April 20th. This was OAGA’s first-ever full lobby day at Queen’s Park, so the visit was designed to give Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) and their staff a proper introduction to the golf Industry in Ontario. The day emphasized the size and scope of golf in Ontario- it’s the most popular sport, contributing about 1% of the province’s GDP – and also underlined the responsible role that golf plays in protecting Ontario’s environment and working to make Ontario a better place. The day featured a breakfast roundtable on small business issues, a press conference in the Queen’s Park media studio, a legislative reception, and 30 meetings throughout the day. The Issue Ontario golf industry representatives went to Toronto to meet with Ministers and MPPs concerning the size and scope of the golf industry in Ontario, particularly in regards to the provincial economy. Through the individual contribution of many small businesses, the sport is responsible for more than $4.3 billion of Ontario’s GDP. Golf creates $11.5 billion in direct, indirect, and induced spending in the province and the industry is responsible for over 123,000 jobs and $1.2 billion in taxes paid to all levels of government. It is important that government decision makers be made aware of the fact that Ontario’s golf courses are leaders in environmentally sustainable golf course operations, and are constantly researching technologies and methods to reduce their environmental impact, having spent more than $1.2 million in recent years to research more environmentally sustainable practices.
