S. 14 Ok Tw-OC1414P. Comparative Ethics Series / Collection d'Ethique Compar~e As Religious Studies in its various branches has spread out in recent years, it has met with a newly emergent discipline: Comparative Ethics as the study of moralities as cultural systems, rather than as the philosophical investigation of particular moral issues. To study a morality as a dynamic whole in its social nature and functioning requires a context in which other instances of a comparable kind are considered. Moral action-guides and religious action-guides have historically been brought together in mixed, moral-religious or religious- moral systems. The different paths followed by moralities as cultural systerns in the varying contexts demand comparative study. The series embraces three kinds of studies: (1) methodological studies, which will endeavour to elaborate and discuss principles, concepts and models for the new discipline; (2) studies which aim at deepening our knowledge of the nature and functioning, the scope and content of particular moral systems, such as the Islamic, the Hindu, the Christian and so on; (3) studies of a directly comparative kind, which bring differing moral systems or elements of systems into relationship.

Final Reflections 337 Selected Bibliography 347 Index 356 Preface We have experienced nothing short of a miracle in South Africa as we have seen apartheid disappear from the scene; as we have watched incredulous, the long lines of South Africans taking part in their first democratic elections; the inauguration of Nelson Mandela as the first-ever democratically chosen president of this new South Africa and the installation of a governmenit of national unity. We have scored a spectacular victory over one of the most vicious systems the world has known, as vicious as Nazism ever was. Its perpetrators had sought to control every aspect of the lives of the victims of this totally evil system and the perpetrators were not averse to using the most violent and repressive measures to enforce their hegemonyw-therc were bannings that condemned people to a twilight existence as prisoners at their own expense, when a gathering meant one other person and they were not permitted to attend a gatheringi-therc were detentions without trial for lengthy periods and people often died mysteriously in those detentions, as in the notorious brutal murder of Steve Biko. People were incarcerated fbr having had the audacity to imagine that they too were human beings with inalienable rights-such as the Mandelas, the Sisulus and others. Many others went into exile, and there was the constant harassment, the public vilification of those who opposed apartheid. This was a powerfid system supported by many Western governments because the perpetrators were White and the victims were largely Black and because this South African government was smart enough to exploit the often strange obsession with Communism by its declaration that it was the last bastion of Western civilisation against soviet communist expansionism. viii In Good Faith The struggle against this powerful regime was rough, but we have notched up our spectacular victory over the injustice and oppression of apartheid. But our victory would have been totally impossible without the remarkable and courageous support and commitment of many in the international community. We could not have made it without the imposition of sanctions against the apartheid monster. It is a great privilege to be able to say thank you very much to you all who supported us. Our victory is your victory. Renate Pratt's book is a ringing account of how one group in Canada struggled to galvanise Canadian public opinion to pressure business and government to take a moral stand against apartheid. It was never easy to do this. We can read what it cost the anti-apartheid stalwarts whose names must be written in letters of gold in any authentic history of the struggle for justice, peace, democracy and reconciliation in South Africa. I am honoured to have been asked to write this short preface and to urge many to read this fascinating account. Goodness, justice, love, peace-these ultimately prevail against their awful counterparts because this is a moral universe and God is in charge. The Most Reverend Desmond M. Tutu kForeword When the Centre for the Study of Religion in Canada received a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. to study the social justice activities of the United Church of Canada and its ecumenical partners, a topic with obvious relevance for our project was the Canadian churches' role in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Our initial hope was that Renate Pratt would write a background paper and give the keynote address at a consultation on this topic.

  • The Kairos Document and Its Pedagogical Implications

Solomons nature of the discourses on reconciliation is explored. It provides a conceptual analysis of how Affiliation: reconciliation is understood in the Kairos Document (1985). Regarded as an outstanding 1Department of Religion and example of a theological response to the problem of apartheid, what is often overlooked is the Theology, Faculty of Arts, tension implicit in its approach which, in turn, has serious implications for how matters of University of the Western social justice are understood and acted upon. Here, the need for political, economic and Cape, Cape Town, South Africa cultural liberation is emphasised. It is assumed that social justice can only follow upon liberation, and that reconciliation is only possible on the basis of following justice. In this Corresponding author: contribution, I contend that those who take this approach are confronted with the danger of Demaine J.

  • Here's Your NTCI 2011 Newsletter
    Here’s Your NTCI 2011 Newsletter — But We Need Your Help To Go GREEN! 100 Years of Red & Grey Each year the NTCI Foundation spends over $4,000 on postage for mailing the attached newsletter to the 8,000 alumni in our database — money which could otherwise be used for student awards and grants to support extracurricular activities. Last year we asked you, our readers, to email us your email addresses and your agreement to receive future issues of the newsletter by email. Many of you responded but there are still almost 4,000 alumni in our database for whom we have no email addresses. This year we have transmitted copies to the 4,300 alumni whose email addresses we have by emailing instructions to download it from the Foundation’s website at www.ntcifoundation.ca. We intend to move almost entirely to email distribution, except we will continue to mail the newsletter by Canada Post to those who explicitly request it. This year (2011) for the last time we are also sending it by Canada Post to alumni who haven’t yet responded and for whom we have no email addresses. Our move to email will help use the Foundation’s limited resources more effectively and will also be more environmentally friendly. So, starting in May 2012, newsletters will be sent by email only unless you explicitly request a paper copy. To do this, please inform us by email or check the appropriate box on the tear-off sheet below and mail it (along with any other relevant response forms from the newsletter) to NTCI Foundation, 17 Broadway Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4P 1T7 by July 31, 2011.

  • Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C
    Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C. Dewar Journal of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes, Volume 53, Number/numéro 1, Winter/hiver 2019, pp. 178-196 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/719555 Access provided by Mount Saint Vincent University (19 Mar 2019 13:29 GMT) Journal of Canadian Studies • Revue d’études canadiennes Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent KENNETH C. DEWAR Abstract: This article argues that the lines separating different modes of thought on the centre-left of the political spectrum—liberalism, social democracy, and socialism, broadly speaking—are permeable, and that they share many features in common. The example of Tom Kent illustrates the argument. A leading adviser to Lester B. Pearson and the Liberal Party from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, Kent argued for expanding social security in a way that had a number of affinities with social democracy. In his paper for the Study Conference on National Problems in 1960, where he set out his philosophy of social security, and in his actions as an adviser to the Pearson government, he supported social assis- tance, universal contributory pensions, and national, comprehensive medical insurance. In close asso- ciation with his philosophy, he also believed that political parties were instruments of policy-making. Keywords: political ideas, Canada, twentieth century, liberalism, social democracy Résumé : Cet article soutient que les lignes séparant les différents modes de pensée du centre gauche de l’éventail politique — libéralisme, social-démocratie et socialisme, généralement parlant — sont perméables et qu’ils partagent de nombreuses caractéristiques.

  • MARCEL CADIEUX, the DEPARTMENT of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, and CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: 1941-1970
    MARCEL CADIEUX, the DEPARTMENT of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, and CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: 1941-1970 by Brendan Kelly A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Brendan Kelly 2016 ii Marcel Cadieux, the Department of External Affairs, and Canadian International Relations: 1941-1970 Brendan Kelly Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2016 Abstract Between 1941 and 1970, Marcel Cadieux (1915-1981) was one of the most important diplomats to serve in the Canadian Department of External Affairs (DEA). A lawyer by trade and Montreal working class by background, Cadieux held most of the important jobs in the department, from personnel officer to legal adviser to under-secretary. Influential as Cadieux’s career was in these years, it has never received a comprehensive treatment, despite the fact that his two most important predecessors as under-secretary, O.D. Skelton and Norman Robertson, have both been the subject of full-length studies. This omission is all the more glaring since an appraisal of Cadieux’s career from 1941 to 1970 sheds new light on the Canadian diplomatic profession, on the DEA, and on some of the defining issues in post-war Canadian international relations, particularly the Canada-Quebec-France triangle of the 1960s. A staunch federalist, Cadieux believed that French Canadians could and should find a place in Ottawa and in the wider world beyond Quebec. This thesis examines Cadieux’s career and argues that it was defined by three key themes: his anti-communism, his French-Canadian nationalism, and his belief in his work as both a diplomat and a civil servant.

  • IN the MOUNTIES WE TRUST: a Study of Royal Canadian Mounted
    IN THE MOUNTIES WE TRUST: A Study of Royal Canadian Mounted Police Accountability by STEPHEN LORENZ WETTLAUFER A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada July, 2011 Copyright © Stephen Lorenz Wettlaufer, 2011 Abstract Police and Canadian citizens often clash during protests sometimes resulting in violent outcomes. Due to the nature of those altercations, there are few other events that require oversight more than the way police clash with protesters and there is a history of such oversight resulting in a number of Federal Parliamentary documents, Parliamentary Committee reports Task Force reports, reports arising from Public Interest Hearings of the Commission for Complaints Against the RCMP, and testimony at various hearings and inquiries which have produced particular argumentative discourses. Argumentative discourses that have a great effect on the construction of a civilian oversight agency of the RCMP is the focus of this thesis. This thesis examines how it is that different discourses, as represented by argumentative themes in these reports, intersect with one another in the process of creating a system of accountability for the RCMP. Through the lens of complaints that arise from protest and police clashes one may conclude that the current system of accountability does not adhere to a practice of protecting the most fundamental rights as prescribed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; nor would the currently proposed legislation contained within Bill C‐38 alter the system in a substantial way to allow for such protections. The power dynamic between the Commissioner of the Force and the Commission for Complaints Against the RCMP favours the police force in the current and proposed system.

  • Doors Closed and Opportunities Missed: Lessons from Failed Automotive Investment Attraction in Canada in the 1980S
    Doors Closed and Opportunities Missed: Lessons from Failed Automotive Investment Attraction in Canada in the 1980s GREIGORY D. MORDUE Department of Economics, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario Au cours des anne´es 1980, le paysage de l’industrie automobile canadienne s’est transforme´, alors que cinq nouveaux manufacturiers venant de l’exte´rieur de l’Ame´rique du Nord ont fait des investissements importants au pays. Le secteur, jusqu’alors domine´ par des inte´reˆts ame´ricains, s’est ainsi beaucoup diver- sifie´ sur le plan de la proprie´te´ des entreprises. Comme le Canada a alors re´ussi a` attirer des investisse- ments e´trangers, on pourrait penser que ceux qui ont participe´ a` ce processus avaient un plan cohe´rent, et que les re´ussites se sont succe´de´ ;lare´alite´, toutefois, est qu’il y a e´galement eu des lacunes et des e´checs. Graˆce a` des archives et a` des sources secondaires, cet article pre´sente le de´veloppement e´cono- mique de l’industrie automobile canadienne durant cette pe´riode. Les de´cideurs politiques peuvent en tirer d’importantes lec¸ons : il faut s’assurer de bien arrimer les objectifs et les politiques ; des personnes ayant beaucoup de pouvoir peuvent agir sans tenir compte des me´canismes de gouvernance, meˆme dans de grandes entreprises ; et des facteurs exoge`nes peuvent entraver la re´alisation des plans meˆme les mieux conc¸us. Mots cle´s : industrie automobile, Canada, e´chec, promotion de l’investissement, investissement e´tranger direct During the 1980s, Canada’s automotive manufacturing assembly landscape changed when five new manu- facturers from outside of North America made large-scale investments.

  • JOSHUA NKOMO Issued 27Th June, 2000
    FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF DR. JOSHUA NKOMO Issued 27th June, 2000 (Extracted from first day cover stiffener)2 Joshua's father, Thomas Nyongolo Letswansto Nkomo and his mother Mlingo, nee Hadebe, had a total of eight children. Joshua's parents worked for the London Missionary Society and brought up their family in a Christian manner, which included bible reading, hymn singing and prayers in the evenings. From Standard One until Standard Six Joshua Nkomo was a prize winning student who nearly always came out top of his class. After completing Standard Six he took a carpentry course at the Tsholotsho Government Industrial School. He studied there for a year before becoming a driver. He later tried animal husbandry before becoming a schoolteacher specialising in carpentry at Manyame School in Kezi. In 1942, aged 25 and during his occupation as a teacher, he decided that he should go to South Africa to further his education and do carpentry and qualify to a higher level. When he returned to Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in 1947 he rose to the leadership of the Railway Workers Union and then to the leadership of the African National Congress in 1952. In 1960 he became President of the National Democratic Party. He married his wife Johanna Mafuyana on 1 October 1949. After the NDP was banned by the Rhodesian government, he formed ZAPU (Zimbabwe African Peoples Union). After ZAPU was also banned he went into exile in Tanzania. On his return to Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) he was arrested by the government and then restricted to Kezi his birthplace near Bulawayo for three months.

Secretary Ruth Samuels At the same time we are saddened by the dismay, nay anger, with which his ap­ pointment has been greeted by some business leaders, by the government and by SATV which gave derisory coverage to his enthronement. It is worth noting in this regard that TV viewers in Australia were regaled with full coverage of the event; probably South African Anglicans saw less on TV of their own Archbishop than did Christians in most of the Western world. Why then the rancour from business and government? One possibility is that he is black, filling a post held hitherto only by whites. We should not forget that iust a OCTOBER 1986 century ago the Anglican Church was the official church of the Cape Colony (much i like the Church of England whose bishops are still appointed by Margaret Thatcher) until this legislation was removed from the statute books in the 1870s. Yet this alone OUTLOOK ON THE MONTH 106 fails to explain the brouhaha. The Methodist Church, the Congregational Church, the Bantu Presbyterian Church and other churches had black leaders years ago.
