Crash Landing: Citizens, The State and Protest Against Federal Airport Development, 1968- 1976 ii Crash Landing: Citizens, The State and Protest Against Federal Airport Development, 1968- 1976 By Michael Rowan, B.A., M.A. Supervisor: Dr. Ken Cruikshank Committee Members: Dr. Richard Harris, Dr. John Weaver, Dr. Penny Bryden A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Michael Rowan, January 2019. iii McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2018) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: Crash Landing: Citizens, The State and Protest Against Federal Airport Development, 1968-1976 AUTHOR: Michael Rowan, B.A. (York University), M.A. (York University) PROFESSOR: Ken Cruikshank NUMBER OF PAGES 206 iv Abstract During the 1960s both the federal and provincial governments continued to take on new and larger responsibilities. During this same time period citizens began to mobilize and challenge the state on a number of social issues including race, gender, labour, urban sprawl and the environment. Citizens believed that not only did they have the right to challenge the authority of government in planning public policy, but they also had a right to participate in the decision- making process as much as any bureaucrat, expert, or elected official. In planning airports in Pickering, Ste. Scholastique and Sea Island, the federal government was opposed by citizen groups in each of these three cases. Citizens believed their voices were not being heard and that government officials did not respect them. As a result, they disrupted the meticulously laid out plans of elected officials and policy planners by drawing on evidence and expert advice. -

Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: the Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League
Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: The Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League by John Valentine A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 John Valentine ii Abstract In 1974, Canada’s Liberal minority government acted to protect the Canadian Football League (CFL) from competition by introducing Bill C-22, which promised harsh penalties for anyone operating a football franchise connected to a foreign-based league or team. This legislation was the culmination of a series of measures by which the government had protected the CFL in the early 1960s and 1970s. A number of factors combined to prompt government involvement. From its earliest days, Canadian football was a nationalist concern. The desire to create a distinctly Canadian pastime led early organizers to differentiate it from English rugby and American football by developing and defending distinctive rules for the game. Football associations developed as domestic rather than cross-border organizations, fostering a congruence of the national territory and the Canadian version of the game. The organizational structure of Canadian football reinforced the east-west axis of transcontinental transportation and communications infrastructure fostered by the state since Confederation. Team and regional rivalries became a staple of print and radio news and commentary, integrating football into the national discourse. Following the Second World War, the identification of Canadian football with the Canadian nation intensified as televised games provided fans with more shared experiences of the only Canadian sports league. -
