  • Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature
    PAYING ATTENTION TO PUBLIC READERS OF CANADIAN LITERATURE: POPULAR GENRE SYSTEMS, PUBLICS, AND CANONS by KATHRYN GRAFTON BA, The University of British Columbia, 1992 MPhil, University of Stirling, 1994 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Kathryn Grafton, 2010 ABSTRACT Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature examines contemporary moments when Canadian literature has been canonized in the context of popular reading programs. I investigate the canonical agency of public readers who participate in these programs: readers acting in a non-professional capacity who speak and write publicly about their reading experiences. I argue that contemporary popular canons are discursive spaces whose constitution depends upon public readers. My work resists the common critique that these reading programs and their canons produce a mass of readers who read the same work at the same time in the same way. To demonstrate that public readers are canon-makers, I offer a genre approach to contemporary canons that draws upon literary and new rhetorical genre theory. I contend in Chapter One that canons are discursive spaces comprised of public literary texts and public texts about literature, including those produced by readers. I study the intertextual dynamics of canons through Michael Warner’s theory of publics and Anne Freadman’s concept of “uptake.” Canons arise from genre systems that are constituted to respond to exigencies readily recognized by many readers, motivating some to participate. I argue that public readers’ agency lies in the contingent ways they select and interpret a literary work while taking up and instantiating a canonizing genre.

  • Ontario Firefighters' Wages in Neoliberal Times
    Braedley 129 A LADDER UP: ONTARIO FIREFIGHTERS’ WAGES IN NEOLIBERAL TIMES Susan Braedley Postdoctoral Fellow, CHSRF/CIHR Chair in Health Services Research, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada INTRODUCTION They deserve it. You can’t put a price on people that are in a profession of saving people’s lives…You cannot compare people who save lives to people who pick up garbage or cut grass. If they [the other unions] try to use that comparison, we will blow them out of the water. (Toronto City Councillor Rob Ford, quoted in Gray 2007, commenting on firefighters' wage increase). he seismic economic shifts that came to the surface in 2008, dumping thousands of workers out of private sector work. They Tare beginning to hit public sector workers, who are experiencing pressure to make concessions and apprehension that they will be next for lay- offs. Although some governments have shown willingness to accumulate debt in these times, public sector workers are bracing themselves for an expected round of re-structuring, justified by declining government revenues. As this economic crisis closes the curtain on rampant neoliberalism and opens on what, at first glance, looks like a “revisionist” neoliberal next act, it is worth considering how one public sector unionized occupation – professional firefighting 1 - has been able to adapt to neoliberalism better than other public sector occupations. How and why have firefighters been able to maintain and even strengthen their labour position during a neoliberal period characterized by attacks on public sector wages and working conditions? This paper contributes to discussions about labour inequities by investigating the relations that have supported this masculinized labour sectors’ position.

  • City of Toronto Emergency Services Is in Agreement with the Introductory Statements and Observations
    Frank Pappone Division Chief William A. Stewart Emergency Services Tel: 416 338-9401 Fire Chief Head Quarters Fax: 416 338-9404 4330 Dufferin St. William Blair Toronto ON M3H 5R9 Police Chief Bruce Farr Emergency Medical Services Chief April 4, 2008 Director General, Spectrum Engineering Branch, Industry Canada, 1943B, 300 Slater Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0C8. Canada Gazette Notice SMSE-004, Proposed Revisions to the Frequency Plan for Public Safety in the Band 700 MHz. The City of Toronto’s Emergency Services welcomes the opportunity to provide comment on Canada Gazette Notice SMSE-004, Proposed Revisions to the Frequency Plan for Public Safety in the Band 700 MHz. Since 2000 the City of Toronto has operated a common voice radio system infrastructure utilizing approximately 7000 terminals for its Emergency Services agencies. Collectively, Toronto Police Services, Toronto Fire Services and Toronto Emergency Medical Services form one of the country’s largest Public Safety groups representing over 10,000 first responders. Because of this common interest and the impact of the proposed revisions to the frequency plan we felt it best to provide comment as a single unified voice. The comments contained herein represent the consensus of the three agencies. The decision by the FCC in the United States, in August 2007, to amend the 700 MHz band plan to accommodate broadband services in that band has caused a great deal of concern and uncertainty for Toronto’s public safety agencies. Toronto is currently planning a radio system replacement with every intention of operating in the 700 Mhz band. It is imperative that revisions to this plan be finalized and implemented in the most expedient manner possible that recognizes and prioritizes the needs of the public safety community above other interest groups.
