    Fixing What Ain’t Broke The New Norm of Fixed-Date Elections in Canada GRIFFYN G. CHEZENKO, Memorial University of Newfoundland Abstract. Since 2001, legislation implementing fixed dates for general elections has been passed by the federal government, and most provincial and territorial governments. The notion that general election dates are now fixed, however, is flawed. In my submission to Changing Political Landscapes, I will explore the fledgling norm of fixed date elections in Canada and examine the aspects of the legislation which call into doubt the fixedness of these elections. With a review of the literature on the subject, I begin by inquiring into the emergence of this foreign phenomenon into Canadian electoral politics and the justification for its extensive adoption. Comparing the legislation across jurisdictions, I analyze the basic construct of fixed date election legislation in Canada, survey similarities and differences, and discover how fixed dates for elections are ultimately avoidable. As a result, I find that election dates are not truly fixed in Canadian jurisdictions where fixed date election legislation has been enacted. Introduction Since the dawn of the 21st century, fixed dates for general elections in Canada have become a widely adopted norm. Bernard Lord, the former New Brunswick premier, once opined that folks “like to know when the elections are going to be” (as cited in Desserud, 2007: 204). This is a familiar concept to Canadian voters because we are inundated with information about what goes on with our southern neighbours. It is rather comforting, as Premier Lord knows, knowing when an election will be, and that there is nothing those rascally politicians can do about it.
  • New Brunswick PC Government Under Pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party Enjoys 11 Point Lead in Decided Vote, Time for a Change Sentiment at 56%

    New Brunswick PC Government Under Pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party Enjoys 11 Point Lead in Decided Vote, Time for a Change Sentiment at 56%

    New Brunswick PC Government under pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party enjoys 11 point lead in decided vote, time for a change sentiment at 56% Toronto – June 28, 2005 – Liberals are leading the Progressive Conservatives by 11 points among New Brunswick decided voters (46% Liberals – 35% PC – 17% NDP). Voters appear to be choosing the Liberal Party because they feel it is time for a change. Voters say they are not choosing the Progressive Conservative party because of the party’s policies (particularly healthcare) and its leader. The majority of people in New Brunswick want a change, saying that it is time to give a new person and party a chance (56%). Fifty-two per cent of the public also support a provincial election this fall to either confirm Lord’s government or elect a new one. Despite the mood for a change, PC Premier Bernard Lord enjoys a 6 point lead as Best Premier. Looking at leadership favourables, outgoing NDP leader Elizabeth Weir has the strongest favourable rating at 57%. Lord edges out Graham by 6 points in favourables, the same margin as on best Premier. However, Lord also leads in unfavourables with 38%, 21 points higher than Liberal leader Graham. A second finding that conflicts with the desire of change is the mood of the province. People in New Brunswick feel positively on the direction the province is heading. However, when it comes to issues of concern, health care, jobs and education are the most important to them personally. New Brunswick clearly appears poised for a close provincial election whenever it comes.
  • City of Fredericton and Saint Mary's First Nation Joint Submission

    City of Fredericton and Saint Mary's First Nation Joint Submission

    City of Fredericton and Saint Mary’s First Nation Joint Submission Infrastructure Canada Smart Cities Challenge FINAL DOCUMENT April 24, 2018 April 20, 2018 City of Fredericton / Saint Mary’s First Nation Joint Submission – Smart Cities Challenge On behalf of the City of Fredericton and Saint Mary’s First Nation, we are pleased to enter a joint submission for Infrastructure Canada’s Smart Cities Challenge. Saint Mary’s First Nation is one of six Wolastoqewiyik communities existing on the planet and solely unique to New Brunswick. The City of Fredericton is one of only a few urban cities in Canada to have a First Nations community within its boundaries. Both are nestled in the heart of the Wolastoqewiyik traditional ancestral territory – divided only by the Saint John River known to the Wolastoqewiyik as the Wolastoq. In addition to our many shared reciprocal benefits due to geographic proximity, we share a history, the land, and a collaborative spirit to learn from each other. In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, the City of Fredericton and Saint Mary’s have agreed to enter into a Friendship Accord; the Accord is a joint expression of interest with tangible and economic outcomes. The Accord will provide a collective approach, and will build countless mutual benefits from the creation of new start-ups driving economic growth and employment, to better land use management and cost savings in service provision, to increased community resilience overcoming barriers and social issues. Building on this, and through the Smart Cities Challenge engagement process, we have identified ‘Empowerment and Inclusion’ to be our priority focus area, as it impacts our communities at-large, and in particular the more vulnerable segments of our population.

    If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1

    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

    AIMS 4TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC4) New Brunswick Anglophone High Schools In our efforts to expand the comprehensiveness of the school report cards, we have an additional dimension in our framework this year: school-assigned grades in math and language arts. As New Brunswick (regrettably) has phased out the use of standardized testing for the Anglophone high schools, future Report Cards will see this breadth of data decline. That change is already having an impact in this Report Card, as insufficient data is available for several schools on the last round of examinations, forcing us to leave them out of the final overall rankings for the first time; Moncton High School and Sir James Dunn Academy being just two examples. Harvey High School earned the highest grade (B+) among the New Brunswick Anglophone schools. Harvey High did particularly well on the contextually adjusted scores, earning an A. Fredericton High School had the province’s second-highest ranking, earning a B. Several schools made considerable improvements over the past year, including Dalhousie Regional High School, Sussex Regional High School, Oromocto High School, John Caldwell School and J.M.A. Armstrong/Salisbury Middle School, which all improved from a C+ to a B, and Southern Victoria High School, which improved from a D to a C. Several schools declined in performance over the past year. Notably, Saint John High School fell from a B+ to a B; Cambridge-Narrows School fell from a B+ to a C+; and Sugarloaf Senior High School fell from a B to C+ as did Tantramar Regional High School, Riverview High School, and North & South Esk Regional High School.
