  • The NDP's Approach to Constitutional Issues Has Not Been Electorally

    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on the Left: The NDP’s Position in Canada’s Constitutional Debates Murray Cooke [email protected] First Draft: Please do not cite without permission.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.

    BC Parks Newsletter December 2000 Volume 11, Number 6 Welcome! Carp Lake Windstorm by Rick Heathman, Prince George District Carp Lake Park is one of my favourites and on July 31 I took my sons and their friend out camping and fishing. We arrived in early evening, and around 7:00 p.m. it really clouded up and became so unusually dark that I had to turn the lights on inside the camper to shed the gloom. A little later I noticed a breeze start to blow offshore to the south, but after a few minutes it slowed and became quite still, then suddenly reversed and started to blow briskly onshore. I went out to tie things down for the night. Suddenly I could hear a roar of Honourable Ian Waddell, wind and stems snapping like gunfire. I screamed at the kids to get out of the trees Minister of Environment, Lands and we raced the short distance into a parking lot and watched as trees crashed to and Parks the ground, branches flew by like bullets, and people ran for their lives.

    Examining the Professionalization of the Political Trade in the Ontario Legislature

    From Part-Time Worker to Full-Time Professional: Examining the Professionalization of the Political Trade in the Ontario Legislature Andrea Ernesaks 2012-2013 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1A2 [email protected] www.olipinterns.ca Draft version: Please do not cite without the author’s permission Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association 6 June 2013, Victoria, British Columbia Ernesaks 1 Introduction There is an old adage suggesting that one should never openly discuss politics or religion in polite company. The reason for this is simple: two controversial topics of conversation, it has been said, can make for one very awkward social engagement. There is, however, an unfortunate consequence that can occur as a result of being so risk averse: the emergence of a public that knows nothing about its own elected officials. In current day Ontario, few individuals fully understand the real pressures and responsibilities innate to political office. MPPs are tasked with representing their constituencies, completing their legislative duties, confronting the media and towing the party line, all whilst trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life. The majority of an MPP’s political life is spent at Queen’s Park, not in their own home ridings, and maintaining their persona as “the politician” is an almost 24/7 endeavour. On top of all of these responsibilities, MPPs are endlessly scrutinized by the public and the media, who always believe their actions to be suspect and their motives self-serving. This, however, has not always been the case.

    The Office of Premier of Ontario 1945-2010: Who Really Advises?

    The Office of Premier of Ontario 1945-2010: Who Really Advises? Patrice Dutil and Peter P. Constantinou This article focuses on the composition of the Ontario Premier’s office and uses an institutionalist approach to put the influence of advisors in context. It looks at expenditures attributed in the Public Accounts to the Premier’s Office and staffing. It assumes that the number of advisors and their placement in the decision-making hierarchy should have a material impact on the quantity and quality of the advice being received by the Premier. Among other things the articles 2013 CanLIIDocs 388 shows that the classic policy/administration divide was not clearly defined in Ontario. Instead it exhibits a back-and-forth habit of experimentation that depended on the personality of the prime minister, the capacities of political and bureaucratic advisors, and the stages of the governmental cycle. There have been discernible cycles in the hiring of political staff and in the growth of expenditures that would indicate the Premier’s Office was more concerned with campaign preparations and externalities than it was in rivaling bureaucratic influence. Compared to Ottawa, where the structures of the Prime Minister’s Office and the Privy Council Office have been far more distinct in this similar time frame, the Ontario experience reveals itself as one of constant experimentation. or almost two generations, observers of all sorts In her study for the Gomery Commission, Liane have almost unanimously lamented the growth in Benoit noted that political staff (or “exempt staff”) Finfluence of prime ministerial advisors.
