  • MARKUS BUCHART Has a BA (Hons.)
    Number 77 WITH Markus Buchart, former leader, the Green Party of Manitoba MARKUS BUCHART has a B.A. (Hons.) from the University of Manitoba and an M.A. from McGill University, both in economics. He worked for six years as a Manitoba government economist, primarily in the finance department in tax policy and federal- provincial fiscal relations, and later in the environment department. He subsequently earned an LL.B. from the University of Manitoba and currently practices law, mostly civil litigation, at the Winnipeg firm of Tupper & Adams. Mr. Buchart was the leader of the Green Party of Manitoba from 1999 to 2005. He sometimes describes himself as "a recovering economist and politician.” This interview followed a speech, “Dissipated Energy,” delivered at a Frontier Centre breakfast on September 6, 2006. Frontier Centre: To what degree do you think the power. But they become efficient in other ways, too. Take, Province of Manitoba is under-pricing the domestic sale for example, Japan or Germany, or some of the western of electricity? It’s called “power at cost,” but isn’t it European economies. They have high-cost energy, but they actually “power below cost”? Manitoba Hydro says it get used to that cost environment and they end up costs about four cents a kilowatt hour to produce, but becoming more competitive generally, not just in terms of they sell it locally for about three. their power consumption. In a way, we’re attracting the dinosaurs and non-competitive industries to come here, and Markus Buchart: Yes, they admit that. At a Public Utility that’s just a losing game.

  • EU-Canada Urban Policy Cooperation Outcomes of the First Working Meeting 6-10 July 2015 the EU-Canada Cooperation on Urban Policy
    EU-Canada Urban Policy Cooperation Outcomes of the First Working Meeting 6-10 July 2015 The EU-Canada Cooperation on Urban Policy How much can eight cities - four from Europe and four from Canada - possibly have in common? If the First Working Meeting of the EU-Canada Urban Policy Cooperation is any indication, then the answer is “plenty!” For although they are separated by an ocean and possess disparate histories of development, the eight delegations which met for the frst time in Toronto, Canada on 6 July 2015 demonstrated that they are very much alike in at least one important detail: their commitment to a sustainable urban future. The fve day duration of the First Working Meeting allowed the eight delegations which comprise the Cooperation to participate in an innovative framework for peer-to-peer cooperation. The frst two days of the Cooperation were held in Toronto, where the eight delegations exchanged knowledge in an example of ‘cities-to-cities’ cooperation. Here the participants presented a selection of the initiatives and projects which have made them each recognized civic leaders in sustainability. Following these two days, the eight cities broke into four pairings and engaged in ‘city-to-city’ cooperation in the form of feld visits. Each European delegation visited a Canadian partner and engaged in an interactive, on-the-ground knowledge exchange. This report highlights the outcomes of the frst of the three working meetings which will take place during the EU-Canada Cooperation on Urban Policy. The city pairings To carry out the EU-Canada Urban Policy Cooperation, four cities were selected from both Canada and the EU.

  • I the EFFECTS of STATE SUBVENTIONS to POLITICAL
    THE EFFECTS OF STATE SUBVENTIONS TO POLITICAL PARTIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE GREEN PARTY OF CANADA LOIS ANNE (LISA) LAMBERT B.A., University of Lethbridge, 1991 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTERS OF ARTS Department of Political Science University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © L.A. (Lisa) Lambert, 2007 i For Dad ii Abstract State subventions to parties have been introduced in many Western democratic states with little discussion about the effect that such payments from a state to a political party have on the party. Political scientists, though, have conducted a lively debate about the effect of these state subventions on parties and party systems. With the introduction of state subventions in Canada, there is a significant opportunity to study the effects of the subsidy on parties. This thesis is a case study of the Green Party of Canada during the first three years after the introduction of state subventions to parties. The Green Party of Canada offers us a unique opportunity to see a party emerge from fringe status with the assistance of a state subvention to the party. There are many important findings we can draw from this party’s experience of the state subvention. iii Acknowledgments I am grateful for the financial support provided by a SSHRC grant of which Dr. Lisa Young was the principal investigator. I also benefited from the support of a Canada Graduate Scholarship and the Keith and Hope Ferguson Memorial Scholarship at the University of Lethbridge.
