  • The NDP's Approach to Constitutional Issues Has Not Been Electorally
    Constitutional Confusion on the Left: The NDP’s Position in Canada’s Constitutional Debates Murray Cooke [email protected] First Draft: Please do not cite without permission. Comments welcome. Paper prepared for the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, June 2004, Winnipeg The federal New Democratic Party experienced a dramatic electoral decline in the 1990s from which it has not yet recovered. Along with difficulties managing provincial economies, the NDP was wounded by Canada’s constitutional debates. The NDP has historically struggled to present a distinctive social democratic approach to Canada’s constitution. Like its forerunner, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the NDP has supported a liberal, (English-Canadian) nation-building approach that fits comfortably within the mainstream of Canadian political thought. At the same time, the party has prioritized economic and social polices rather than seriously addressing issues such as the deepening of democracy or the recognition of national or regional identities. Travelling without a roadmap, the constitutional debates of the 80s and 90s proved to be a veritable minefield for the NDP. Through three rounds of mega- constitutional debate (1980-82, 1987-1990, 1991-1992), the federal party leadership supported the constitutional priorities of the federal government of the day, only to be torn by disagreements from within. This paper will argue that the NDP’s division, lack of direction and confusion over constitution issues can be traced back to longstanding weaknesses in the party’s social democratic theory and strategy. First of all, the CCF- NDP embraced rather than challenged the parameters and institutions of liberal democracy.

  • 2018 Conference of the Universities Art Association of Canada Congrès 2018 De L’Association D’Art Des Universités Du Canada
    Session 1 | Séance 1 : Theuaac-aauc Artery 2018 Conference of the Universities Art Association of Canada Congrès 2018 de l’Association d’art des universités du Canada October 25–28 octobre, 2018 University of Waterloo uaac-aauc.com Congrès UAAC-AAUC Conference October 25-28 octobre 2018 University of Waterloo 1 Welcome As someone who started attending UAAC conferences three decades ago, I can say that no two are alike: continuities exist, but there’s always something new. This year, for example, along with the customary launch of the Fall RACAR–a “Critical Curating” special issue edited by Marie Fraser and Alice Ming Wai Jim–and the perennial opportunity to renew old relationships and start fresh ones, we’ll kick off UAAC’s new website. Also, rather than a keynote lecture, we’ll have keynote performances by Louise Liliefeldt and Lori Blondeau, an exciting outgrowth of performance’s rising importance as a mode of presentation at our conference. Thanks to the conference organizers, Joan Coutu and Bojana Videkanic, for their insight in suggesting this shift, and for the rest of their hard work on this conference. The programming committee– Joan Coutu, Bojana Videkanic and Annie Gérin– also must be recognized for its great work reviewing session proposals. And, as always, huge applause for Fran Pauzé, UAAC’s administrator, who has kept us on track day in and day out for years now. As you know, our conference’s dynamism flows from the continued broadening and revitalization of UAAC’s constituency. However, the difficult state of culture and education today makes participation by students and precariously-employed faculty harder and harder.

  • In Nanaimo Byelection
    LATEST NEWS Where did Emma Fillipo go? Mom hopes new lead sheds light on 2012 disappearance Vancouver Island Party hopeful sees ‘sweet spot’ in Nanaimo byelection Carla Wilson / Times Colonist NOVEMBER 7, 2018 06:00 AM Robin Richardson Photograph By SUBMITTED The rst step in Robin Richardson’s plan to separate from B.C. and turn Vancouver Island into a province is to get himself elected in the upcoming Nanaimo byelection. Should the Vancouver Island Party candidate win the provincial seat, he promises to demand the NDP government hold a referendum in October 2019 asking if voters favour creating VanIsle as a province. And if a majority say “yes,” Richardson then wants the NDP to boost the number of Island ridings to 28 from 14. From there, he’s optimistic that an expected provincewide election in 2021 would give his party a majority, allowing it to begin negotiations with Ottawa. Richardson, 76, gures he’s found the “soft spot” in Nanaimo’s future byelection. He predicts that a Progressive Conservative candidate will take votes from the Liberals, and that the Greens will attract NDP votes. He expects to be able to pick up support from citizens who did not vote in the 2017 election. “I gure if I can get 9,000 votes, I can win,” he said. Current ve-term NDP MLA Leonard Krog won with 12,746 votes in 2017. Krog was sworn in Monday as Nanaimo’s new mayor and has said he will give up his legislature seat. A byelection has not yet been called. But Premier John Horgan said it would be held before February’s budget.
