  • Selecting Selinger: the 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗
    Selecting Selinger: The 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗ Jared J. Wesley, University of Manitoba [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Abstract In a delegated convention held in October, 2009, the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP) selected former Finance Minister Greg Selinger to replace Canada's longest-serving and most popular premier, Gary Doer. Official appeals filed by the victor’s chief rival, Steve Ashton, and persistent criticism of the process in the media raised significant concerns over the method by which the new premier was selected. These complaints proved a fleeting fixation of the media, and have not harmed the NDP’s popularity or affected the smooth transition of the premiership from Doer to Selinger. Yet, questions persist as to whether the 2009 leadership race marked the last delegated convention in the history of the Manitoba New Democratic Party. This paper examines the 2009 leadership race in the context of contests past, analyzing the list of criticisms directed at the process. Grounding its findings in the comments of delegates to the 2009 Convention, it concludes with a series of probable choices for the party, as it begins the process of considering reforms to its leadership selection process. Leading contenders for adoption include a pure one-member, one-vote system and a modified version similar to that of the federal NDP. ∗ Funding for the 2009 Manitoba NDP Convention Study was provided by the Faculty of Arts, Duff Roblin Professorship, and Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Politics and Governance.

Eugene attended Ralph Brown Elementary School, Isaac Newton Junior High School and St. Johns High School. While Eugene did not initially complete high school, he went on to obtain his GED and, after retiring, received an honourary high school diploma from St. Johns, where he is celebrated as a distinguished alumni. Eugene first worked as a clerk-typist and later as a journeymen electrician, before getting involved in the labour movement and the New Democratic Party (NDP) – movements to which he would go on to dedicate much of his life, working tirelessly to make life better for people and build a more just and equitable world.

  • Some Personal Reflections on Manitoba Political Journalism
    DRAFT Some Personal Reflections on Manitoba Political Journalism By Frances Russell Prepared for the Roblin Professorship Conference, St. John’s College, University of Manitoba, Nov. 20‐22, 2008 Manitoba political journalism As a veteran of 46 years in journalism, I’ve witnessed one of the most profound and dramatic revolutions in the news business since Gutenberg invented the printing press. I began my career at the Winnipeg Tribune in May, 1962 after graduating with a BA in history and political science. Back then, Winnipeg was a fiercely competitive newspaper market, boasting two broadsheet dailies representing the nation’s two major newspaper chains: Southam, owned by the family of the same name and FP Publications, owned by the Siftons. Both the Trib and its bigger rival, the Winnipeg Free Press, put out a morning and up to three afternoon editions daily, re-plating the front page as necessary to carry breaking news. This was the era before computers, before tape recorders, before the internet, before the blackberry. Reporters scribbled their notes on copy paper using thick yellow newsprinter pencils. They pounded out their stories on blank sheets of newsprint wadded, along with carbon paper, into heavy black Underwood typewriters. Sometimes as many as four or five copies were required, the first for the all-important Canadian Press wire and the remainder for various editors. If they were on deadline, reporters would rip each page out as soon as they had completed a paragraph, shout “Copy” and hand it to a “copy boy” who would rush one page to the city editor, another to his assistant and literally skewer a third on CP’s long, very sharp metal spike resting on the city editor’s desk.
