  • Understanding Stephen Harper
    HARPER Edited by Teresa Healy www.policyalternatives.ca Photo: Hanson/THE Tom CANADIAN PRESS Understanding Stephen Harper The long view Steve Patten CANAdIANs Need to understand the political and ideological tem- perament of politicians like Stephen Harper — men and women who aspire to political leadership. While we can gain important insights by reviewing the Harper gov- ernment’s policies and record since the 2006 election, it is also essential that we step back and take a longer view, considering Stephen Harper’s two decades of political involvement prior to winning the country’s highest political office. What does Harper’s long record of engagement in conservative politics tell us about his political character? This chapter is organized around a series of questions about Stephen Harper’s political and ideological character. Is he really, as his support- ers claim, “the smartest guy in the room”? To what extent is he a con- servative ideologue versus being a political pragmatist? What type of conservatism does he embrace? What does the company he keeps tell us about his political character? I will argue that Stephen Harper is an economic conservative whose early political motivations were deeply ideological. While his keen sense of strategic pragmatism has allowed him to make peace with both conservative populism and the tradition- alism of social conservatism, he continues to marginalize red toryism within the Canadian conservative family. He surrounds himself with Governance 25 like-minded conservatives and retains a long-held desire to transform Canada in his conservative image. The smartest guy in the room, or the most strategic? When Stephen Harper first came to the attention of political observers, it was as one of the leading “thinkers” behind the fledgling Reform Party of Canada.

This inquiry provides a review of a moment in Canadian political history and its statesmen that stands as an example of the practice that shaped Canadian nationhood. Sir John A. Macdonald and Louis Riel were the only “Fathers of Confederation” to meet in pitched battle. Their conflicts between 1869 and 1885 shaped two separate and core elements of the Canadian regime: English-French and East-West tensions. Through a lens of statesmanship, this inquiry analyzes the thoughts and actions of these two men.

  • Forward by the Governor-General
    Office of the Governor-General Corporate Plan 2016-2018 Forward by the Governor-General Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is represented in the State of Grenada by a Governor - General, appointed by the Crown, on the advice of the Grenadian Prime Minister. The core functions of the office of the Governor-General are Constitutional – ensuring the legitimacy and continuity of Government, signing the writ that dissolves Parliament before a General Election, appointing the Government after an election, giving the throne speech at the state opening of Parliament, swearing in members of the judiciary, among others. In her Ceremonial role, the Governor-General represents the Queen and Grenadians at important public ceremonies. The Governor-General provides non-partisan community leadership and is the patron of many charitable, service, sporting and community organizations in Grenada. Other community functions have a ceremonial dimension such as addresses to open conferences, presenting awards or launching special appeals. For her international role, the Governor-General represents Grenada abroad on official visits, receives foreign dignitaries and the like. The Government House Corporate Plan is a working document that sets out the blue print for the effective and efficient execution of the functions of the office. It is a practical reference for the Governor-General and the dedicated staff of the Governor-General’s Office, geared to enabling the office to achieve its stated objectives and established priorities. Notable among these is the restoration of Government House destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The activities surrounding the restoration of Government House features prominently in our Corporate Plan as we strive to restore this historic building to its former glory, befitting of our rich cultural heritage, a true symbol of national pride.

  • The Parliamentary Calendar
    7 The parliamentary calendar The appointment of the times for the holding of sessions of Parliament, the prorogation of the Parliament and the dissolution of the House, is a matter for decision by the Governor- General. The Constitution states: The Governor-General may appoint such times for holding the sessions of the Parliament as he thinks fit, and may also from time to time, by Proclamation or otherwise, prorogue the Parliament, and may in like manner dissolve the House of Representatives.1 In practice however these vice-regal prerogatives are exercised with the advice of the Executive Government.2 Once a Parliament (session), or a further session within that Parliament, has commenced, the days and times for the routine meetings and adjournments of the House are a matter for the House to decide, yet in practice, by virtue of its majority support, these decisions rest with the Executive Government. The Constitution also provides that the House of Representatives can continue for no longer than three years from the first meeting of the House.3 The significance of this to the concept of a representative Parliament and Government is that a Parliament is of limited duration on the democratic principle that the electors must be able to express their opinions at regular general elections. On the other hand a Parliament of short fixed-term duration may be viewed as undesirable in that too frequent elections have disruptive and/or negative effects on the parliamentary and governmental processes. Of further significance is the principle that Parliament should be neither out of existence nor out of action for any undue length of time.
