This thesis attempts to explain both the unusual degree of federal-provincial harmony that had traditionally been evident in the area of prairie wheat marketing and the federal- provincial conflict that emereed in the IWO'S. It applies interest goup. globalization and govenunent-building approaches to explain federal-provincial relations conceming the marketing of prairie wheat and the Canadian Wheat Board. The thesis argues that an initial phase of harmony was founded on an interest group consensus favouring monopoly marketing, the absence of forces associated with globalization and a Iag of province-building behind nation-building. By contrast, wnflict later enipted as the full impact of globalization led particular provincial configurations of interesr groups to demand new globalized solutions for wheat marketing. This thesis shows that societal factors are central to understanding federal-provincial relations and that federal- provincial relations may be less conflichial than is often assurned.

In the 1940's it became the sole marketer of that wheat. Although the CWB is a Crown corporation responsible to the federal cabinet, its marketing practices have also ken the subject of substantial provincial govemment interest, given the size of the wheat crop and its importance to the prairie provinces. Interestingly, despite the interaction of both orders of governrnent. federal-provincial relations in the area of wheat marketing had until recently remained strikingly cordial. By contrast to the broad array of conflict that began to emerge in the 1960 's in a number of other areas' such as the constitution. energy, îransportation, communicaîions, and fiscal arrangements, the federal-provincial relationship in maners involving the marketing of prairie wheat continued along a cooperative path. Since the beginning of the 19903, however, this tradition of hmony has been disrupted ly a federal-provincial dispute centred on Alberta over the fiiture of the CWB's wheat monopoly. This thesis will in part attempt to explain the unusual degree of federal-provincial hamony that was traditionaily evident in this area. Unlike many studies of federal- provincial relations, whîch are ofien forced to focus on conflict, ths examination has the abili- to instead consider the less common case of federal-provincial harmony. ' The case of wheat marketing provides a sWng indication that the study of federal-provincial relations may, even after the 19603, still involve an analysis of cooperation. Moreover. not only does this thesis afford an opportunity to study an anomalous area of federal- provincial relations, but it also provides an opportunity to examine the breakdown of ths anomaly. Accordingly, the thesis will thus also attempt to explain the recent emergence of federal-provincial conflict in relation to the CWB. in its attempt to account for both the tradition of hannony and the emergence of conflict in wheat marketing, the thesis uill emphasize approaches which have ûaditionally been accorded relatively little attention. Approaches focusing on govemmental factors, such as the constitution and the goverment-building ambitions of political and bureaucratie elites, have normally been emphasized in efforts to explain the nature of federal-provincial relations. However?this case study will attempt to demonstrate that an adequate explanation of both the traditional harmony and the recent conflict which have characterized federal-provincial relations in the wheat marketing field may ody be attained by introducing societal facton. Ln particular, the thesis will anempt to show that interest groups and globalization are important to understanding both the historicd and current relations between the federai govemment and the provincial goveemments in this area. For the purposes of thîs examination. the spotiight of fedeml-provincial relations will thus be seen to be focused on the social environment in which governments are embedded rather than on the govemments themselves. Chapter 2 begins the analysis of the marketing of prairie wheat with a review of the literanire dealing with the importance of various facton which influence the nature of federal-provincial relations in Canada- A nurnber of variables will be exmined: the constïtuîion, class. inmastate federalism, regio~lism~political

The loss of children from Indigenous communities due to residential schools and later on, to child welfare, has been occurring for well over a century and Indigenous people have been continuously grieving and protesting this forced removal of their children. In 1999, when the Manitoba government announced their intention to work with Indigenous peoples to expand off-reserve child welfare jurisdiction for First Nations, establish a provincial Métis mandate and restructure the existing child care system through legislative and other changes, Indigenous people across the province celebrated it as an opportunity for meaningful change for families and communities.

  • Saskatchewan Elections: a History December 13Th, 1905 the Liberal Party Formed Saskatchewan’S First Elected Government
    SaSkatcheWan EleCtIonS: A History DecemBer 13th, 1905 The Liberal Party formed Saskatchewan’s first elected government. The Liberals were led by Walter Scott, an MP representing the area of Saskatchewan in Wilfred Laurier’s federal government. Frederick Haultain, the former premier of the Northwest Territories, led the Provincial Rights Party. Haultain was linked to the Conservative Party and had advocated for Alberta and Saskatchewan to be one province named Buffalo. He begrudged Laurier for creating two provinces, and fought Saskatchewan’s first election by opposing federal interference in provincial areas of jurisdiction. RESultS: Party Leader Candidates elected Popular vote Liberal Walter Scott 25 16 52.25% Provincial Rights Frederick Haultain 24 9 47.47% Independent 1 - 0.28% Total Seats 25 AuguST 14th, 1908 The number of MLAs expanded to 41, reflecting the rapidly growing population. The Liberals ran 40 candidates in 41 constituencies: William Turgeon ran in both Prince Albert City and Duck Lake. He won Duck Lake but lost Prince Albert. At the time it was common for candidates to run in multiple constituencies to help ensure their election. If the candidate won in two or more constituencies, they would resign from all but one. By-elections would then be held to find representatives for the vacated constituencies. This practice is no longer allowed. RESultS: Party Leader Candidates elected Popular vote Liberal Walter Scott 41 27 50.79% Provincial Rights Frederick Haultain 40 14 47.88% Independent-Liberal 1 - 0.67% Independent 2 - 0.66% Total Seats 41 July 11th, 1912 The Provincial Rights Party morphed into the Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, and continued to campaign for expanding provincial jurisdiction.

In that time frame, Canada’s China policy would undergo many different shifts. A close examination shows that these shifts were closely linked to the shifting attitudes of successive Canadian leaders. Four different prime ministers would serve in office during Canada’s recognition process, and the inauguration of each prime minister signaled a shift in Canada’s China policy. The issue of recognizing the People’s Republic of China was intertwined with several other issues that were important to Canada. Among these were the economic potential of China, Canada’s need for collective agreements to ensure its security, the desire of the United States to influence Canadian policy, and the desire of Canadian officials to demonstrate the independence of Canadian policy. Of the four prime ministers, three – Louis St.

  • The Evolution of Agricultural Support Policy in Canada Douglas D. Hedley
    The Evolution of Agricultural Support Policy in Canada CAES Fellows Paper 2015-1 Douglas D. Hedley The Evolution of Agricultural Support Policy in Canada1 by Douglas D. Hedley Agricultural support programs have come under increasing scrutiny over the past two decades as successive attempts in trade negotiations have been made to curtail levels of support and to better identify (and subsequently reduce) those programs yielding the greatest distorting effects on trade. Support programs in Canada have gone through very substantial change over the past 50 years in response to these broad ranging economic, international, and social objectives and pressures. Indeed, the evolution in producer support dates back to the beginnings of the 20th century. In attempting to understand the significant turning points and pressures for change, this paper examines the origins of support policies for Canadian agriculture from the late 1800s to the present time. The paper is written with the understanding that policy changes are path dependent, that is, policies in place at any point in time condition both the nature of policy change in the future as well as the pace and direction of change. The paper is limited to an examination of the support and stabilization policies for Canadian agriculture. One closely related issue is the emergence of marketing arrangements within Canada, some of which involve support for prices or incomes for farmers. As well, the historic role of cooperatives, initially in the western Canada grains industry and subsequently in the Canadian dairy industry, has overtones of price stability and support in some cases. However, while these topics are noted throughout the paper where they specifically involve stability or support or relate to the determination of federal and provincial powers, their history is not detailed in this paper.

Reeves 2009 WATER FROM THE NORTH: NATURE, FRESHWATER, AND THE NORTH AMERICAN WATER AND POWER ALLIANCE Master of Arts Andrew W. Reeves, 2009 Department of Geography University of Toronto Thesis Abstract The North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA), a high modernist continental water diversion project drafted in Los Angeles in 1964, is examined for the impact it had upon social conceptions of nature, the scale of water diversion in North America, and the extent of American Southwestern efforts at sustaining unsustainable Northern lifestyles. Drafted to address the anxiety of perceived ecoscarcity regarding water shortages in the early 1960s, NAWAPA emerged after a century of increasingly large‐scale diversion projects, and seemed a logical continuation of such grandiose, “jet‐ age” type thinking. It proposed to re‐engineer the North American landscape to provide water from the North to the arid Southwest. Reasons for the plans failure (including the monumental shift in scale, and Canadian territorial and environmental opposition) are examined in relation to how nature was conceived – or forgotten – in the proposal.

I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract At the inauguration of John G. Diefenbaker’s 1958 election campaign, the Prime Minister announced his ‘Northern Vision,’ a bold strategy to extend Canadian nationhood to the Arctic and develop its natural resources for the benefit of all Canadians. In some ways, the ‘Northern Vision’ was a political platform, an economic platform as well as an ideological platform. Invigorated by Diefenbaker’s electoral victory in 1958, the Department of Northern Affairs and National Development (DNANR) implementing the ‘National Development Policy’ in 1958 and announced the ‘Road to Resources’ program as a major effort to unlock the natural resource potential of the Canadian north. From 1958 to 1962, DNANR implemented additional northern development programs that planned to incorporate the northern territories along with Canada’s provinces, redevelop several key northern townsites, and stimulate mining activity across Northern Canada. As a result of serious government oversight and unforeseen developments, Diefenbaker abandoned his ‘Northern Vision’ and direction of northern development in 1962. Within the broader context of northern development over the past half century, the ‘Northern Vision’ produced several positive outcome which advanced the regional development of the Arctic.

It has given us a unique chance to work on this important project, examining the relationship between Canada and China during the past forty years. With the exception of the relationship with the United States, Canada’s relationship with China is likely to be its most signifi cant foreign connection in the 21st century.
