  • 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.

  • Canadian Federation of Students Federation
    '. c Dear Members, Under the Bylaws of the Federation, the National Executive is required to submit a written report to each national general meeting accounting for its activities and the activities of the Federation since the previous national general meeting. Amongst other.things, the Bylaws state that the Report is to clearly delineate "the disposition of all directives given the National Executive by the plenary of the previous general meeting." Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors and pressures, the National Executive did not have an opportunity to compile information on all of the previous general meeting's directives prior to the deadline for producing and translating the Report. On behalf of the National Executive, I apologize for this ommission. Nevertheless, I believe this Report provides a satisfactory overview of the Federation's activity since the previous general meeting. ~ojtruIY'i ~I/{~W lff}u~/l Michael Manci elli National Deputy Chairperson - ------- ----_ ... ------------ 1. CAMPAIGNS At the previous national general meeting, members called for a number of campaign initiatives.

  • Parachute Journalism in Haiti
    “Parachute Journalism” in Haiti: Media Sourcing in the 2003-2004 Political Crisis Isabel Macdonald York University Abstract: The Canadian media’s reliance on parachute and wire agency journal- ists during the lead-up to the 2004 coup d’état in Haiti exemplified the trends associated with recent cuts to foreign news. A content analysis of the Globe and Mail, plus interviews with journalists, reveal that the deadline pressures and hotel journalism associated with these trends contributed, in the absence of coherent official messages on the Haiti crisis, to journalists’ reliance on sources from a U.S. and Canadian government–supported political movement spear- headed by Haiti’s business and media elite that sought to overthrow the demo- cratically elected Haitian government. Keywords: Content analysis; News production studies; Newspapers; Interviews; Media sources; Haiti Résumé : Dans les jours menant au coup d’état de 2004 en Haïti, la dépendance des médias canadiens envers des journalistes d’agence de presse ou des journal- istes parachutés provisoirement dans la région illustre bien les tendances asso- ciées aux coupures récentes infligées sur la couverture de l’actualité internationale. Une analyse de contenu du Globe and Mail ainsi que des entre- vues avec des journalistes révèlent que ces coupures ont entraîné une sorte de journalisme d’hôtel et un besoin de rencontrer de très brèves échéances. Ces cir- constances ont contribué, en l’absence de messages officiels cohérents sur la crise haïtienne, à une dépendance envers des sources provenant d’un mouve- ment politique cherchant à renverser le gouvernement élu démocratiquement du pays. Ce mouvement était mené par l’élite commerciale et médiatique haïtienne et appuyé par les gouvernements américain et canadien.

  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence
