  • The Limits to Influence: the Club of Rome and Canada
    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

  • Support the Bill to Ban Canada's Asbestos Exports Send Your Letter to All Party Leaders
    Support the bill to ban Canada's asbestos exports Send your letter to all party leaders Asbestos kills and goes on killing for generations. It is impossible to manage asbestos safely and so all industrialized countries have banned or stopped using all forms of asbestos. But Canada is one of the world’s largest exporters of asbestos, mostly to poor countries. That’s why today, June 1, Member of Parliament Nathan Cullen (NDP, Skeena-Bulkley Valley) introduced a Private Member’s Bill to ban the mining and export of asbestos. It deserves everyone’s support. Send your letter to party leaders to urge them to support "An Act to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (asbestos)." We no longer use asbestos in Canada. Instead, we export it to developing countries, telling them it is a safe, desirable product for their homes and schools. The World Health Organization estimates that 125 million workers worldwide are exposed to asbestos every year and more than 90,000 workers die as a result of their exposure. This heartless double standard must stop. The Bill was inspired by three remarkable students from Smithers, a small town in north-west British Columbia, who are determined to make sure Canada is no longer disgraced by its dirty exports. Write to Party leaders to tell them to support the Bill, and to listen to the message of the students, of health organizations and of the worldwide trade union movement. Do the right thing. Help stop Canada’s export of asbestos. Thank you for speaking up for human rights! Kathleen, Peggy, Pauline, Becky Where the political parties stand: • The NDP and the Green Party support the banning of asbestos.

Otherwise known as a suboptimal result, defence acquisitions regularly fall short of established delivery schedules, accruing cost-overruns, sometimes resulting in cancellation of key materiel. One-hundred percent of the twenty-five Major Crown Projects at the Department of National Defence have experienced delays in achieving key milestones. Aside from cost, suboptimal results are injurious to Canada’s tri-force military. Fortunately, the matter has not gone unchecked. A fairly recent surge in procurement research has generated a critical mass of Canadian-focused literature.
