In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.

    February 25, 2015 The Right Hon. Stephen Harper Prime Minister House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Fax: 613-941-6900 Email: [email protected] Re: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women National Roundtable Dear Prime Minister, We write today to encourage your support for and participation in the upcoming National Roundtable on Indigenous Women and Girls on February 27, 2015. The Canadian Council of Churches Human Trafficking Working Group is confronted all too often with the appalling realities many Aboriginal women and girls in Canada face on a daily basis. This reality was confirmed for us late last year in a presentation to our group by the Native Women’s Association of Canada where we learned that Indigenous women and girls are at a higher risk of being trafficked and of facing violence than non-Indigenous women and girls in Canada. While the Government’s leadership in passing the Protection of Communities and Vulnerable Peoples Act evidenced a clear understanding of the challenges facing many vulnerable Canadians, one need only pick up a newspaper to see how uniquely vulnerable Indigenous women and girls are to violence, exploitation and trafficking. More needs to be done. This past summer, Tina Fontaine was brutally murdered in Winnipeg only a month after arriving in the city. Sadly, her story is far from an anomaly; stories like these are repeated too often across this country. We urge the government to demonstrate strong leadership and action, in partnership with Indigenous communities and leadership, to listen to Indigenous women, courageously uncover the causes, and develop holistic and responsive solutions.

It also marks 2013 as the 30th time Canada has hosted an Assembly on behalf of the Organization, which now comprises 191 Member States. “ICAO is very grateful to Canada for this excellent exhibit which will now be permanently located within our Montréal Headquarters,” commented ICAO Secretary General, Raymond Benjamin. “Its depictions of ICAO’s long history here in Montréal are particularly fitting given Canada’s strong historic commitment to our Organization and, by extension, to the entire global civil aviation community we serve.” “Canada is proud of its rich history with this important UN organization, in particular, our contribution through government support at various levels as well as synergies with private industry and academia. The new photo exhibit celebrates this history, while motivating us to keep that legacy going forward,” said Minister Lebel. “As an international leader in aviation safety and security, Canada supports ICAO’s efforts to ensure aviation worldwide is not only safe and secure, but also economically and environmentally sustainable.
