    The Canadianisation of the Holocaust: Debating Canada‟s National Holocaust Monument jason chalmers Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies Department of Classics and Religious Studies Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © jason chalmers, Ottawa, Canada, 2013 ii Abstract Holocaust monuments are often catalysts in the „nationalization‟ of the Holocaust – the process by which Holocaust memory is shaped by its national milieu. Between 2009 and 2011, the Parliament of Canada debated a bill which set out the guidelines for the establishment of a National Holocaust Monument (NHM), which ultimately became a federal Act of Parliament in early 2011. I examine the discourse generated by this bill to understand how the memory of the Holocaust is being integrated into the Canadian identity, and argue that the debate surrounding the NHM has been instrumental in the „Canadianisation‟ of the Holocaust. I summarise my findings by placing them into dialogue with other national memories of the Holocaust, and identify three distinct features of Holocaust memory in Canada: a centrifugal trajectory originating in the Jewish community, a particular-universal tension rooted in multiculturalism, and a multifaceted memory comprising several conflicting – though not competing – narratives. Résumé Monuments de l‟Holocauste sont souvent des catalyseurs de la «nationalisation» de l'Holocauste – le processus par lequel mémoire de l'Holocauste est formé par son milieu national. Entre 2009 et 2011, le Parlement du Canada a débattre un projet de loi qui crée les lignes directrices pour la mise en place d'un Monument national de l'Holocauste (MNH), qui est finalement devenu une loi fédérale du Parlement au début de 2011.

  • Oh, Oh! Modeling Parliamentary Interruptions in Canada, 1926-2015
    Oh, oh! Modeling Parliamentary Interruptions in Canada, 1926-2015 Tanya Whyte Department of Political Science, University of Toronto Presented at Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference Ryerson University, Toronto, May 27-June 2, 2017 Abstract Literature on the Canadian "democratic deficit" argues that parliamentary decorum in the Canadian House of Commons, including disruptive be- haviours like heckling and cheering, has been worsening over recent decades. Such questions of long-term change in parliamentary behaviour are amenable to text as data methods, a rapidly emerging field in quantitative social sci- ence. This analysis uses the Lipad dataset, a new machine-readable digi- tization of the complete text of the Canadian House of Commons Debates (Hansard), to investigate disruptive behaviour (measured via parliamentary interruptions) in the House of Commons from 1926-2015. Five hypotheses are tested using a multinomial logit model: that interruptions have increased in probability over time; that ministers are likeliest and backbenchers least likeliest to be interrupted; that women MPs are more likely to be interrupted; and that interruptions are more common under majority government condi- tions. Preliminary version: Please do not cite or distribute until a final version is posted. Thanks to Arthur Spirling for his advice and feedback. PARLIAMENTARY INTERRUPTIONS IN CANADA, 1926-2015 2 Introduction The conduct of elected representatives in the House of Commons has been a fre- quent target of criticism in the Canadian "democratic deficit" literature. One root of voter malaise in Canada and in other Westminster-style democracies, it is argued, is public re- pugnance for adversarial and crude political debate, particularly during Question Period (Docherty, 2005; Grisdale, 2011).
