Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY PETER TABUNS MPP/DÉPUTÉ PROVINCIALE Toronto-Danforth Canadian Centre for Bio-ethical Reform Box 123 5 - 8720 Macleod Tr SE Calgary, AB, T2H 0M4 Attention: Nick Rosendal, President July 18, 2017 Dear Mr. Rosendal, We are writing to let you know that large numbers of our constituents object to the delivery of your literature to their homes. In particular, the use of disturbing images have upset small children who often go out to collect the mail from mailboxes, women who have suffered a miscarriage, and pregnant women who plan to carry their pregnancy to term. Obviously, the parents of the children and the partners of the women in question are upset that their family members are traumatized in this way, or risk such trauma. Many others simply do not want to be subjected to such images. While you have the right to make certain arguments, people also have the right to protect themselves and their families from anxiety and upset. We will be working with our constituents to assist them in providing your organization with warnings that trespass is not authorized on their private properties for purpose of delivering your flyers. A copy of the notice is appended. We ask you to respect the law and the wishes of the constituents who send you notice prohibiting trespass on their property. Sincerely, Peter Tabuns, MPP Bhutila Karpoche, MPP Toronto-Danforth Parkdale – High Park Paula Fletcher, Councillor Mary Fragedakis, Councillor Ward 30 Toronto Ward 29 Toronto Sarah Doucette, Councillor Jennifer Story, Trustee Janet Davis, Councillor Ward 13 Toronto TDSB Ward 15 Ward 31 Toronto 923 Danforth Ave.

  • Local Solutions to a Global Problem? Canadian Municipal Policy
    LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO A GLOBAL PROBLEM? CANADIAN MUNICIPAL POLICY RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHANGE by Elizabeth Schwartz B.P.A.P.M., Carleton University, 2006 M.A., University of Toronto, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Elizabeth Schwartz, 2016 Abstract Urbanization and global warming are two of the most pressing issues facing humanity over the next 50 years. Why do some local governments enact more climate change mitigation policies than others? What makes some cities leaders in urban sustainability, while others lag far behind? Over the past decade, global climate change negotiations have repeatedly failed to produce binding commitments and robust responses by national governments. These failures have led academics and practitioners to put increasing emphasis on the potential for sub-national governments, including cities, to undertake commitments that might substitute for national action on climate change. Applying concepts from the comparative public policy literature to the study of urban politics, this dissertation puts forward and tests a new theory to explain variation in Canadian cities’ climate change policy. I find that political economy factors reduce the likelihood that cities will adopt climate change policy that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the presence of independent municipal environment departments makes the adoption of such policy more likely. This dissertation employs a systematic and explicit process tracing methodology. It examines the decision-making of four Canadian cities (Brampton, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver) across four policy areas (landfill gas management, fleet services, cycling infrastructure and building standards).
