Occasional Research Reports UKRAINIAN CANADIANS AND THE 1981 CANADA CENSUS (A Supplement to the Statistical Compendium on Ukrainians in Canada, 1891-1976) William Darcovich, editor Paul Yuzyk, associate editor Boris Myhal and Zenon Yankowsky, contributors Research Report No. 22 — 1988 Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/ukrainiancanadia22darc FOREWORD The work team which undertook the preparation of this Supplement included William Darcovich, Boris Myhak Zenon Yankowsky and Paul Yuzyk, nil of whom were involved in the preparation of the comprehensive parent volume, the “Statistical Compendium on the Ukrainians in Canada, 1891-1976.” It should not be surprising, therefore, that in content and format, the Supplement resembles much of the Compendium. Work on the Supplement was interrupted by the unexpected death of Paul Yuzyk. He was a Senator for many years and, though the responsibilities of public office were demanding, he gave generously of his time and effort to the preparation of the Compendium and Supplement and contributed beyond his professional involvement. The work team had two prime objectives for the Supplement: to include in full the revised data on Ukrainian origin which had become available in the 1 98 1 census as a result of the change in definition of ethnicity; and to “do something” about the break in the comparability with 1971 series created by that change. The first objective was realized by including the ethnic output of the 1981 census, single and multiple origin, side-by-side in the main tabulations of the Supplement, an inclusion which increases substantially the data on Ukrainian origin available in the public domain. The second objective was realized by the development of a data correction method which improves comparability of 1981 with 1971 series and serves as a “bridge” to the large pool of 1 97 1 and earlier data available in the Compendium. The Supplement could not have been undertaken without the financial support received from government, university and other sources. The work team is grateful to the Multiculturalism Sector, Department of the Secretary of State for providing a grant to purchase census data from Statistics Canada and to contribute to word processing costs; to the SUS (Ukrainian Self-Reliance League) Foundation, Toronto, for a further contribution to word processing costs; and to the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta, for assuming publication costs of the Supplement. The team wishes to express its thanks to John Kralt of the Multiculturalism Sector, for his assistance and advice in the planning stages of the Supplement, and for providing copies of Statistics Canada ethnic tabulations. Thanks are due to Mark Wright, Consultant, Census Customer Services, Statistics Canada, who helped with custom data IV specification and retrieval. Members of the professional staff of Statistics Canada were consulted on sev- eral data problems. Thanks are due to Pamela White for comments on intercensus comparability of ethnic statistics; to Brenda Clarke for help in resolving some farm data problems; to J. Norland for advice on data for common-law relationships, and to George Mori for advice on school attendance data. Tamara Kandyba typed the manuscript on word processor. The work team is appreciative of her contribution in presenting a large body of data compactly and clearly. W.D.

  • The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics
    SPP Research Papers Volume 4•Issue 6• May 2011 IS THIS THE END OF THE TORY DYNASTY? The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics Anthony M. Sayers and David K. Stewart1 University of Calgary ABSTRACT The Alberta Tory dynasty begun by Peter Lougheed is now 40 years old. With only four leaders across four decades, the party has managed to maintain its hold on the political imagination of Albertans. It has weathered a number of storms, from minor party assaults during the tumultuous 1980s to the Liberal threat of 1993 and the stresses associated with the global financial crisis. Now it confronts a new challenge in the form of the Wildrose Alliance led by Danielle Smith. Just as the Tories stole the centre ground from beneath Social Credit in the 1970s, the Wildrose leadership team hopes to take what was a fringe right wing party and turn it into a broad coalition capable of appealing to a large number of Albertans. What challenges do they face in repositioning the party? And how will the Tories protect their home turf? In brief, the Wildrose Alliance must modify its policies and present them in such a manner as to be able to plausibly claim that it now reflects the core values of Albertans better than the current government. For its part, the government must select a new leader capable of successfully painting Wildrose as outsiders who cannot be trusted to cleave to the values that Albertans hold dear. What are these values? Strong support for individualism, a populist view of government – including wariness of the federal government – combined with a deep commitment to a role for government in providing core programs in areas such as health care, the environment, and social welfare.

  • S:\CLERK\JOURNALS\Votes & Proceedings
    Legislative Assembly Province of Alberta No. 35 VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS Second Session Twenty-Sixth Legislature Monday, May 8, 2006 The Speaker took the Chair at 1:30 p.m. Speaker’s Comment The Speaker commented that Alberta’s longest serving MLA is Gordon Edward Taylor who was first elected to the Alberta Legislature on March 21, 1940 and he served to March 14, 1979. That was a total of 38 years, 11 months, and 3 weeks. But then there’s the question of who was Alberta’s shortest serving Member, and there are actually three ways of defining this. Alberta’s shortest serving Member is William Morrison. He was elected as a Social Credit MLA in the constituency of Okotoks-High River in the general election held on August 22, 1935. He resigned on October 7, 1935, to allow William Aberhart to run in the by-election held November 4, 1935. Mr. Aberhart was elected by acclamation. Mr. Morrison’s length of service was 46 days. On July 19, 1921, Percival Baker, the United Farmers of Alberta Member for the constituency of Ponoka died. He had been elected in the general election held the previous day, July 18, 1921. Mr. Baker was a Member who unfortunately was hit in the head by a tree when he was stumping trees several weeks before the election that was held on July 18. He was elected on July 18, was moved from the hospital in Ponoka to the Misericordia hospital in Edmonton, and he died the following day. Mr. Baker's service was less than one day, but he was never sworn in as an MLA.
