Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • The 1974 Federal General Election in British Columbia JOHN TERENCE MORLEY
    Comment: The 1974 Federal General Election in British Columbia JOHN TERENCE MORLEY There are many who would insist, no doubt with a certain justification, that it is the height of folly for one but newly arrived in British Columbia to hazard conclusions (particularly in print) about the nature of politics in this tumultuous province. Yet, by taking de Tocqueville as my scholarly muse, there is surely some excuse for recording first blush impressions, even at the risk of being called to order by more seasoned political analysts. In any event, in terms of comment about the results of the last federal election in B.C. it is with these seasoned political analysts, or the bulk of them at any rate, that I wish to deal. Certainly what most forcibly strikes a would-be Tocquevillian emigre from Ontario is the extraordinary self-confidence of the political commentators who appear in the various forms of British Columbia mass media. It matters not if they are profes­ sional journalists, politicians seeking a wider venue for their pronounce­ ments, ordinary folk whose thought about politics has been, as if by acci­ dent, immortalized in cold type or warm videotape, or even the occa­ sional academic of variegated description — all who parade on the media seem to speak with divinely inspired authority. The causes and conse­ quences of political events in B.C. are revealed with a certainty that would even bring a blush (albeit momentary) to the cheek of a Peter Newman or an Anthony Westall. I should like to examine some problems with this cultural trait of self- confident, unquestioning assurance in political commentary by investi­ gating six publicly proclaimed hypotheses about the results of the July 8th federal election.
