The Mowat Centre is Ontario’s non-partisan, evidence-based voice on public policy. It undertakes collaborative applied policy research, proposes innovative research-driven recommendations and engages in public dialogue on Canada’s most important national issues. Director’s Message We at the Mowat Centre are proud to share our second annual report with you. 2012-13 was marked by growth, diversification and maturation. Our work on intergovernmental policy and Ontario’s place in the federation remained our core business. Our projects on equalization, fiscal balance, changes to Employment Insurance, monetary policy and the new federal electoral boundary map set the terms for many public debates and had a direct impact on several policy changes. Our record of quality has allowed us to focus additional resources on two growing areas of importance: the future of the Ontario economy and the transformation of government. Our partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and many of Ontario’s economic stakeholders has produced our Emerging Stronger series. This policy work has set the stage for upcoming major research projects on the future of the manufacturing sector, the economic importance of diaspora networks and the federal corporate tax system. Together, these projects are coming together to outline a broad, non-partisan economic agenda for Ontario. MOWAT CENTRE 2013 ANNUAL REPORT | CENTRE 2013 ANNUAL REPORT MOWAT Our partnership with KPMG and many public sector stakeholders has allowed us to invest time and resources in our Shifting Gears series, which identifies transformative efforts to make government smarter and faster. We are proud that some of our recommendations have been acted upon by government and are helping deliver more public value to citizens. 1 As our research streams expand, we have also been able to take up additional challenges. We played a catalytic role in creating the new Council of the Great Lakes Region and Mowat will incubate this new organization during its start-up phase. With our Foundation partners and the not-for-profit sector, we have launched a new program of work – MowatNFP – designed to modernize the policy frameworks that govern the not-for-profit sector. And with our industry and public sector partners, we have strengthened our MowatEnergy hub. Both of these research hubs have released their first major works and are having a real impact on the policy conversations in their respective sectors. The past year has been marked both by rapid growth and the departure of some key staff. These changes have required more focused business planning, consistent with a more mature organization. In 2013-14 we will produce our first formal strategic plan, which is currently being developed with the support of staff, our Board and key partners. The Mowat Centre is experiencing two positive changes that will nonetheless challenge us as an organization in coming years. Our funding and revenue streams are becoming much more diverse, with $500,000 in secured research contracts in the first half of 2013-14 already. And we are increasingly being seen not only as Ontario’s voice on public policy, but an important national public policy think tank. Both of these developments are important to our long-term sustainability. But they also require us to remain nimble, make smart choices when faced with exciting opportunities, continue to refresh our organization, and more rigorously assess our performance and outcomes. All of these will be necessary in order to remain a high performing organization that continues to deliver excellence in research and value in the face of increasing demands and a larger number of partners. I am confident that the choices we have made over the past year and will make in coming years will continue to reflect our commitment to modernizing Canadian public policy frameworks and strengthening the province of Ontario. All of us at the Mowat Centre would like to express our ongoing gratitude to the School of Public & Governance and the University of Toronto and its administration for the supportive and nurturing academic home they provide us. Our work would not be possible without their continued support. CENTRE Matthew Mendelsohn, Director MOWAT | 2 Mowat Publications May 2012 - April 2013 What the New EI Rules Mean The Mowat Centre JULY 10, 2012 This report is an overview of legislative changes that were made to the federal Employment Insurance program and it provides an in-depth analysis of what they mean for Canadians. Expanding Our Routes To Success: The Final Report by Ontario’s Expert Roundtable on Immigration OCTOBER 15, 2012 The advice of the Expert Roundtable on Immigration on the development of an Ontario immigration strategy is presented in this Ontario government report. The Mowat Centre was pleased to act as the Policy Secretariat to the Roundtable. Moving Toward Voter Equality: Mowat Centre Report on the Proposed Federal Electoral Boundaries for Ontario Michael Pal & Melissa Molson NOVEMBER 15, 2012 The map proposed by the Federal Electoral Boundary Commission for Ontario as part of the 2012 Redistribution is evaluated in this Mowat Note. The research indicates that while the proposed map makes progress overall, it still deviates considerably from the central principle of voter equality. Homelessness: Closing the Gap Between Capacity and Performance James Hughes | CENTRE 2013 ANNUAL REPORT MOWAT DECEMBER 06, 2012 Despite the development of a national strategy in the mid-1990s to tackle the significant rise in homelessness, best estimates suggest that the number of homeless people in Canada has not actually been reduced. This report examines Canada’s national homelessness program since its launch and makes the case for fully implementing a “Housing First” approach. 3 Integrating Human Services in an Age of Fiscal Restraint: A Shifting Gears Report Jennifer Gold and Josh Hjartarson DECEMBER 11, 2012 This report from the Mowat Centre’s Shifting Gears series of research papers evaluates one of Canada’s most innovative integration schemes–the ongoing integration of human services in Ontario’s Peel Region–and identifies the possibilities and challenges presented by service integration. Back to Basics: The Future of the Fiscal Arrangements Matthew Mendelsohn DECEMBER 20, 2012 In the fifth paper in the Mowat Centre’s Fiscal Transfers series, the report argues that Canada’s system of fiscal arrangements is misaligned with current economic realities. The paper recommends combining the CHT, CST and Equalization into one means- tested transfer. Emerging Stronger 2013 The Mowat Centre & the Ontario Chamber of Commerce JANUARY 29, 2013 Developed in cooperation with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Emerging Stronger 2013 is the second paper in the series. It surveys the progress that business, government, and civil society have made over the past year and identifies the challenges that Ontario still faces and sets out the tangible steps to take for an even more prosperous future.

  • The Use and Misuse of Antisemitism Statistics in Canada
    THE USE AND MISUSE OF ANTISEMITISM STATISTICS IN CANADA by Sheryl Nestel, PhD THE USE AND MISUSE OF ANTISEMTISM STATISTICS IN CANADA 1 The Use and Misuse of Antisemitism Statistics in Canada “Canadian Jews Most Targeted Group for Third Year in a Row” [1] proclaimed B’nai Brith Canada in a press release issued on July 22, 2019. Jews and others who are deeply troubled by the spread of antisemitism worldwide must have been alarmed to learn that Canada was being added to the growing list of countries where antisemitism is on the rise.[2] But how accurate are B’nai Brith’s claims? Upon close examination, it turns out that B’nai Brith’s interpretation of the state of antisemitism in Canada is misleading at best, perhaps deliberately so. The alarming headline actually obscures a complex web of established facts, dubious claims, overt and covert political agendas, avoidable inaccuracies, methodological opacity and unexplained exclusions - all of which demand examination. Since 1982, B’nai Brith Canada has published an Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents which the organization claims to be an “authoritative document on antisemitism in Canada.”[3] Indeed, the Audit is very widely cited. It has been employed for decades by Canada’s unfailingly pro-Israel governments as well as by an impressive range of media outlets including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, The Globe and Mail, the Calgary Herald, Radio Canada, the U.S. State Department and THE USE AND MISUSE OF ANTISEMTISM STATISTICS IN CANADA 2 numerous other mainstream news sources Moreover, B’nai Brith’s claim that Jews are the and civil institutions.

  • Mark Steyn and the Canadian Human Rights Commissions
    ‘Reasonable limits on the expression of hatred’: Mark Steyn and the Canadian Human Rights Commissions Matthew Omolesky I. On 20 October 2006, the website of the Canadian weekly current affairs magazine Maclean’s featured an article entitled ‘The future belongs to Islam,’ excerpted from the conservative polemicist Mark Steyn’s book America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. [1] This provocative opinion piece presented a vision of European ‘demographic decline; the unsustainability of the social democratic state; and civilisational exhaustion,’ all of which paved the way for the continent’s ‘remorseless transformation into Eurabia.’ [2] Since ‘the salient feature of Europe, Canada, Japan and Russia is that they’re running out of babies,’ Steyn contended, ‘Europe has age and welfare,’ but ‘Islam has youth and will.’ [3] The article ended ominously, with a quotation from the Norwegian imam Mullah Krekar, who had recently told the Oslo newspaper Dagbladet: ‘We’re the ones who will change you [Europeans]. Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children… Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours.’ [4] One question of Steyn’s, concerning this allegedly existential demographic and geopolitical threat, was meant to linger: ‘How does the state react?’ Ironically, it would be how the state reacted to Steyn – rather than immigration – that would take centre stage. One key non-state reaction to Steyn’s article was that of Mohamed Elmasry, president of the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC), who eventually submitted complaints against Maclean’s and its editor, Kenneth Whyte, to the human rights commissions of British Columbia and Ontario, as well as the federal Canadian Human Rights Commission.
