Mr. Green quickly resummarized what proportional representation means in an electoral context. He then used Lego ™ blocks to make a comparative analysis of the results of the 2015 Canadian federal elections under a FPTP system versus a system using proportion- al representation.

  • Mass Cancellations Put Artists' Livelihoods at Risk; Arts Organizations in Financial Distress
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau March 17, 2020 ​ Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Steven Guilbeault The Honourable William Francis Morneau Minister of Canadian Heritage Minister of Finance The Honourable Mona Fortier The Honourable Navdeep Bains Minister of Middle-Class Prosperity Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Associate Minister of Finance The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages Re: Mass cancellations put artists’ livelihoods at risk; arts organizations in financial distress Dear Prime Minister Trudeau; Deputy Prime Minister Freeland; and Ministers Guilbeault, Morneau, Fortier, Joly, and Bains, We write as the leadership of Opera.ca, the national association for opera companies and professionals in Canada. In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector.

    The Right to Authentic Political Communication by Ann Elizabeth Rees M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2005 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1980 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Communication Faculty of Arts and Social Science Ann Elizabeth Rees 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Ann Elizabeth Rees Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: The Right to Authentic Political Communication Examining Committee: Chair: Katherine Reilly, Assistant Professor Peter Anderson Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Catherine Murray Supervisor Professor Alison Beale Supervisor Professor Andrew Heard Internal Examiner Associate Professor Political Science Department Paul Thomas External Examiner Professor Emeritus Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Date Defended/Approved: January 22, 2016 ii Abstract Increasingly, governments communicate strategically with the public for political advantage, seeking as Christopher Hood describes it to “avoid blame” and “claim credit” for the actions and decisions of governance. In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.

    June 3, 2021 Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, P.C., M.P. Minister of Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Mr. Dan Albas, M.P. Conservative Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Ms. Laurel Collins, M.P. NDP Critic for Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Mme Monique Pauzé Bloc Québécois Critic for Environment [email protected] Ms. Annamie Paul Leader of the Green Party of Canada [email protected] Dear Minister Wilkinson, Mr. Albas, Ms. Collins, Madame Pauzé, Ms. Paul, As organizations concerned with environmental health, we have long advocated for modernization of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and recognition in law of the right to a healthy environment. We therefore welcomed the introduction of Bill C-28, the Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act and urge all political parties to prioritize its passage with improvements. These are our initial recommendations for strengthening Bill C-28. As you know, CEPA provides the legislative framework for protecting human health and the environment from pollution and toxics. The law has not been significantly amended for more than two decades, yet sources of pollution and our scientific understanding of risks have 1 changed dramatically over this time. Four years ago, the House Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development reviewed CEPA and all parties agreed it should be modernized. Now, the climate emergency, global plastic pollution and a respiratory illness pandemic make strengthening CEPA an even more urgent priority, to protect the environment and the health of all people in Canada — particularly those who are marginalized and those in vulnerable situations, including Indigenous people, women, workers and racialized communities.
