One magazine cannot hold all of the wonderful stories we could tell of our graduates who are doing good work wherever they are, but it is nice to be able to focus on a few. Our story on Frank Mc Kenna ’70 went through several changes on its path to publication. Initially we decided to focus on our new ambas- sador to the United States. We saw the emphasis starting to change when speculation started about his potential to become the next leader UNIVERSITY of the Liberal Party of Canada and then again when he announced that he was resigning as ambassador and would not seek the leadership.

At the age of 34, StFX alumnus Rodney MacDonald captured the Leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia. Only a few short weeks later he was sworn in as Premier of Nova Scotia. But the new Premier’s experience goes well beyond his years. He has been MLA for the riding of Inverness for seven years, and has shown leadership as Minister of Tourism, Culture and Heritage, Minister of Health Promotion and Minister of Immigration. During the dramatic 2006 Nova Scotia PC Leadership Convention held in Halifax on Feb. 10 and 11, MacDonald clinched the leadership title over two well-seasoned candidates; well-known Halifax business leader Bill Black and former provincial finance minister Neil LeBlanc. 4 StFX Alumni News • Spring 2006 For those who know Premier MacDonald personally, they know him as Rodney - a strong leader and kind man, willing to take time to listen to others and share in their common concerns. He has always held the utmost respect for Nova Scotia traditions, its history and for its oldest institutions such as StFX. “StFX prepared me to always aspire to new heights,” said Premier MacDonald. “The university’s curriculum, professors and senior ad- ministration are invaluable to students. They provide the leadership quali- ties and necessary tools to meet life’s challenges.” Premier MacDonald graduated from StFX in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. Before entering the political arena, the Mabou, Cape Breton native taught for Nova Scotia’s Strait Regional School Board and the Mi’kmawey School on Chapel Island, Nova Scotia. Premier MacDonald is also known for his professional music career. He received two nominations for East Coast Music Awards in 1998 and has released two CDs. As a professional fiddler he traveled across Canada and parts of the United States and Europe. Premier MacDonald is married to Lori-Ann (Gillis). They have an eight- year-old son Ryan.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

    L’Assemblée législative du Nouveau-Brunswick à l’ère du XXIe siècle Donald Desserud, Institut des études urbaines et communautaires Stewart Hyson, Département d’histoire et de sciences politiques Université du Nouveau-Brunswick (campus de Saint John) Saint John (Nouveau-Brunswick) E2L 4L5 Courriels : [email protected] et [email protected] Produit pour le Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements, Ottawa, 20111 Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements Introduction Lorsque le Nouveau-Brunswick est entré dans la Confédération, en 1867, les fondations du modèle de Westminster de démocratie législative (à savoir un gouvernement représentatif et responsable) étaient déjà en place. De telles institutions étaient typiques dans les colonies britanniques de l’époque, caractérisées par un électorat relativement restreint, une activité gouvernementale de portée limitée et des méthodes de prise de décisions élitistes. Toutefois, si les institutions parlementaires et la culture politique d’autres anciennes colonies britanniques ont évolué de la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXe siècle, il semble que le Nouveau-Brunswick, lui, se soit figé dans le temps. Au sujet de la propension au clientélisme et à la corruption dans la province, Patrick Fitzpatrick a écrit, en 1972, qu’on pourrait décrire la politique provinciale au Nouveau-Brunswick comme fermée, stagnante et anachronique et qu’elle rappelle, sous certains abords, la politique qui avait cours au XIXe siècle en Grande-Bretagne avant le mouvement de réforme (116; voir également Doyle, 1976, et Thorburn, 1961). Quoi qu’il en soit, les bases de la réforme avaient déjà été jetées. Les années 1960, en particulier, ont été balayées par de grands changements sur le plan de la gouvernance, des services sociaux, de l’éducation et de la redistribution des revenus, grâce au programme visionnaire « Chances égales pour tous » du premier ministre libéral Louis Robichaud, au pouvoir de 1960 à 1970 (Stanley, 1984; Young, 1986, 1987; ICRDR, 2001; Cormier, 2004).
