And if they “Yeah, I know,” he giggles. “Pretty cool, eh?” don’t learn their lessons on the convention floor, they’ll have another opportunity elsewhere, thanks to a remarkable line-up of world-class speakers, which includes: former New Brunswick Premier and Canadian Ambassador to the United States Frank McKenna; Kevin O’Leary, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, host of CBC’s “O’Leary Excha nge”, and judge on that network’s “Dragon Den”; Canadian summer and winter Olympian Clara Hughes; Farley Flex, music promoter and former “Canadian Idol” judge; and Stuart McLean, host of CBC Radio’s “The Vinyl Café”. Rounding out the list is author and inspirational speaker Martin LaTulippe; Ron Buist, former marketing director for Tim Hortons; and Richard St. John, author of The eight traits successful people have in common. Still, as if this were not enough firepower to impress the madding crowd, LeBlanc and his compatriots at Momentum Group scored their signature coup by persuading British industrialist, billionaire and humanitarian Sir Richard Branson to headline the entire event. “I wanted Richard for what he stands for, which is fearlessness and ingenuity,” he says. “By participating, he’s lending an enormous amount of credibility to the Festival; he’s building up our brand.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

  • L'assemblée Législative Du Nouveau-Brunswick À L'ère Du XXI Siècle
    L’Assemblée législative du Nouveau-Brunswick à l’ère du XXIe siècle Donald Desserud, Institut des études urbaines et communautaires Stewart Hyson, Département d’histoire et de sciences politiques Université du Nouveau-Brunswick (campus de Saint John) Saint John (Nouveau-Brunswick) E2L 4L5 Courriels : [email protected] et [email protected] Produit pour le Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements, Ottawa, 20111 Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements Introduction Lorsque le Nouveau-Brunswick est entré dans la Confédération, en 1867, les fondations du modèle de Westminster de démocratie législative (à savoir un gouvernement représentatif et responsable) étaient déjà en place. De telles institutions étaient typiques dans les colonies britanniques de l’époque, caractérisées par un électorat relativement restreint, une activité gouvernementale de portée limitée et des méthodes de prise de décisions élitistes. Toutefois, si les institutions parlementaires et la culture politique d’autres anciennes colonies britanniques ont évolué de la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXe siècle, il semble que le Nouveau-Brunswick, lui, se soit figé dans le temps. Au sujet de la propension au clientélisme et à la corruption dans la province, Patrick Fitzpatrick a écrit, en 1972, qu’on pourrait décrire la politique provinciale au Nouveau-Brunswick comme fermée, stagnante et anachronique et qu’elle rappelle, sous certains abords, la politique qui avait cours au XIXe siècle en Grande-Bretagne avant le mouvement de réforme (116; voir également Doyle, 1976, et Thorburn, 1961). Quoi qu’il en soit, les bases de la réforme avaient déjà été jetées.
