  • Multiculturalism and the De-Politicization of Blackness in Canada: the Case of Flow 93.5 Fm
    MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM by Kisrene McKenzie A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Kisrene McKenzie 2009 MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM Master of Arts 2009 Kisrene McKenzie Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract This thesis presents a case study of Canada‟s first Black owned radio station, FLOW 93.5 FM, to demonstrate how official multiculturalism, in its formulation and implementation, negates Canada‟s history of slavery and racial inequality. As a response to diversity, multiculturalism shifts the focus away from racial inequality to cultural difference. Consequently, Black self-determination is unauthorized. By investigating FLOW‟s radio license applications, programming and advertisements, this thesis reveals just how the vision of a Black focus radio station dissolved in order to fit the practical and ideological framework of multiculturalism so that Blackness could be easily commodified. This thesis concludes that FLOW is not a Black radio station but instead is a multicultural radio station – one that specifically markets a de-politicized Blackness. As a result, multiculturalism poses serious consequences for imagining and engaging with Blackness as a politics that may address the needs of Black communities in Canada. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I extend my deepest gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sherene Razack, for her guidance, constant support, encouragement and initial interest in my thesis topic.

  • Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario
    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy.

  • Chair's Letter to Shareholders
    CHAIR’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS April 15, 2020, On behalf of the Board of Directors, management and employees of Northland Power, I am pleased to invite you to this year’s Annual and Special Meeting (“Meeting”) of shareholders to be held on Friday, May 22, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time). This year, as a precautionary measure to ensure the health and safety of our shareholders, employees and other stakeholders amid the public health concerns of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we will hold the Meeting in a virtual-only format. The Meeting will be conducted via a live audio webcast and Shareholders will have an equal opportunity to participate in the Meeting online, regardless of location. At the Meeting, shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions and vote on a number of important topics. Further details on how shareholders can participate in the Meeting are enclosed in the attached Management Information Circular. As Northland continues to grow and diversify its business globally, operating and developing projects across 4 continents, so does the need to ensure we maintain the highest standards of corporate governance, ethics and corporate responsibility. In response to this continued evolution and to shareholder feedback, the Board undertook a detailed analysis of the opportunities to enhance the Corporation’s governance policies as well as strengthen its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. Significant progress was made on these initiatives, with the adoption of certain key policies intended to enhance our governance best practices. Among these were the adoption of guidelines and targets for diversity at the Board and senior management levels, enhancements to the composition of the Board of Directors through the adoption of age and term limits and changes to improve the alignment of executive compensation with the interests of Northland’s shareholders and other stakeholders.
