Welcome to members of ISA-Canada. On behalf of the Programme Committee, I want to express my thanks to Michelle Hopkins, without whom the organisation of this conference would simply not have been possible. I would also like to thank the CPSA’s Executive Director, Sally Rutherford, and CPSA President, Keith Banting, for their help in preparing the programme that follows, Kimberley Manning (Concordia), for organizing the Women’s Caucus dinner, and Johanne Bilodeau for help organizing the CPSA dinner. I would finally like to express my deepest thanks to each member of the Programme Committee. Being a committee member requires a tremendous amount of time and effort, and I am so thankful for the quality and commitment of this year’s section chairs. Each chairperson has made a contribution, not just to the shape of their section at this particular conference but to the state of the discipline. Mebs Kanji, this year’s local organiser, has been a particularly valuable, and tireless, member of the team. The strength of this year’s programme, readily evident in the pages that follow, is due entirely to their good work. 2 REMERCIEMENTS Stuart Soroka, Université McGill L’ACSP tient à exprimer sa reconnaissance aux organisations suivantes qui, par leur aide inestimable, nous ont permis d’organiser le congrès de cette année: • le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada pour les fonds obtenus dans le cadre du Programme de subventions pour les frais de déplacement ainsi que pour le soutien accordé aux diverses activités de notre association; • le Centre pour l’étude de la citoyenneté démocratique de l’Université McGill, commanditaire de la séance plénière du congrès de l’ACSP; • pour le dîner de l’ACSP : • le département de science politique de l’Université McGill; • le département de science politique de l’Université du Québec à Montréal; • le département de science politique de l’Université de Montréal; • le département de science politique de l’Université Concordia pour le soutien apporté non seulement pour le dîner du congrès, mais aussi pour la réception du département et le congrès en général.

    Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 8 (1) Winter 2012 state. Academic freedom risks being cast as an inconvenient fetter on the untrammeled commercialization of universities and their reorientation towards providing the human resources and innovative intellectual properties to drive corporate profitability. This silencing campaign must be opposed because it opens the door to wider attacks on academic freedom at a time when such attacks are to be expected. But it should also be opposed in the name of justice for Palestinians, including their academic freedom which is constrained by conditions of occupation, exile or second-class citizenship within the State of Israel. The organizers of the Mapping Models conference did the important work of bringing together key experts engaged in leading edge debates about possible solutions to the issues in Israel/Palestine. The conference was not balanced in that it was a presupposition of its framing that any real solution to the issues in the region must genuinely address the historic claims of Palestinians. The solutions currently on the negotiating table do not meet this criterion, and are unlikely to be acceptable to the bulk of Palestinians even in the unlikely event that the Israeli state were to seriously pursue negotiations. This is why over 170 Palestinian civil society organizations issues a call for a global campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israeli institutions on July 9, 2005, a year after the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion on the illegality of Israel’s Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. At very least, this call must be debatable on our campuses and in our communities, or we will have utterly failed the test of defending academic freedom and supporting justice for Palestinians.

  • Defeat of the Pawley Government 100
    DEFEAT OF PAWLEY GOVERNMENT 35 hhe Defeat of the Pawley Government 100 uch has been said about the instability of minority governments. While MaccountabUity plays a greater role-the government must acquire and maintain the support of members beyond its own party-this often comes at the expense of stability. One bad vote and the government can fall. Little did Premier Howard Pawley know in early 1988 that his relatively safe majority government would succumb to this same instability. After the 1986 election, Howard Pawley's NDP held 30 of the legislature's 57 seats. Gary Fitmon's Conservatives held 26 and Sharon Carstairs held the remaining seat as the sole liberaL The NDP selected Myrna Phillips to serve as Speaker of the House, leaving the governing party with 29 votes (the Speaker can only vote in cases of a tie). This still left the government with a two vote advantage in the House. Then, in February 1988, Laurent Desjardins, Pawley's Health Minister, resigned his seat. Pawley decided not to call a by, election immediately which left Desjardin's seat vacant and left the government with a precarious one vote advantage in the House. At the time, it was evident to most members that Jim Walding, a former Speaker and now a Pawley government backbencher, was the loosest cannon in the House. Opposition Leader Gary Filmon would later note, "I was watching him, because obviously, every time there's a vote in the House, the most likely person to defeat the government is Jim Walding."lol Walding's discontent with his Pawley government had started years earlier.

  • Interview with Andy Anstett 145
    INTERVIEW WITH ANDY ANSTEIT 71 }Interview with Andy Anstett 145 Any politician who gets too far out in from of his or her electorate will not be there for too long. What people fail to understand is that although that statement is true, it also leaves the other half unstated and that is when politicians believe that the polity should be headed in a particular direction, they have an obligation to lead that electorate and move them in that same direction so that they are not too far out in front of them. The failure to do that is political cowardice and we see more of that in public life today than we see leadership. - Andy Anstett The concern with minority governments, I do not share. Governments passed a lot more legislation, a hell of a lot more happened under minority governments under Pearson from 1963- 68. These were some of the most productive periods in Canadian post-war history and people say minority governments aTe terrible? - Andy Anstett I. INTRODUCTION efore being elected in 1981, Andy Anstett served as Deputy Clerk and BDeputy Electoral Officer in the Manitoba Legislative Assembly for eight years. Very experienced with the procedures of the House,. Mr. Anstett served as the Pawley government's House leader and Minister of Municipal Affairs from 1983 to 1986 before being defeated, likely as a result of being thrust to the forefront of the French~language debate. Since then, Mr. Anstett has served in a number of capacities, including Chair of Manitoba's Municipal Board, Chair of Ontario's Assessment Review Board, and currently as Vice President of Corporate Affairs for AEC Valuations Inc.

The couple’s fi ve-year-old daughter, Emiliya, who was just sixteen months old when the family arrived in Canada in 2012, is struggling to comprehend the potential reality of having to move back to Ukraine from the country she proudly calls home. The Vasylievs continue to struggle with the fact that Tetiana and Emili- ya’s visas have only been extended a short time while Olesksii’s has been denied. Tetiana and Emiliya have until May of 2016 when they will be forced return to the Ukraine. However, Olek- sii was not granted his most recent re- quest for an extension and is trying to apply for a 90-day extension as a last resort to stay with his family. The family is in the Interlake doing religious work within the community. When they fi rst arrived in the Inter- lake, they took on the roles of program directors at Eagle Bay Camp (Hilbre Bible Camp).
