Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

    THECORD WEEKLY I Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario Thursday, March 31, 1983 Volume 23 Number 22 Coaches to leave en masse to T.O.? by Chuck Kirkham Laurier's athletic program could be losing two coaches next year to the University of Toronto. Three ofLaurier's coaches have applied for two openings at Toronto. One of the coaches that could be leaving is Athletic Director "Tuffy" Knight. "I can make no comment, either way, at this time."' Knight replied when asked if he has or has not applied for the job at Toronto. Gib Chapman, Toronto's Director of Athletics, would only comment that "Whatever speculation you have made is probably correct," when asked which Laurier coaches have applied for the positions in Toronto. Coaches that have confirmed they applied for jobs in Toronto are: Associate Athletic Director, Rich Newbrough, and hockey coach, Wayne Gowing. Gowing has been the hockey coach at Laurier for ten years, twice being named coach of the year in Ontario, and this past' year coached the Hawks to a provincial championship and a berth in the national tournament. Knight, who has been Laurier's Athletic Director for 17 years and head football coach for sixteen is one of the most successful football coaches in Canadian University history. This year past he became only the third coach to win 100 games in Canadian football at the university level. In his career at Laurier he has won 5 Western Ontario titles and participated in 7 post season bowl games. Newbrough, who has been at Laurier for 15 years, has also applied for the job of head football coach at Toronto.

  • Are Politicians Rational Actors? Political Careers in the Canadian House of Commons
    POLITICAL CAREERS IN THE CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS ARE POLITICIANS RATIONAL ACTORS? POLITICAL CAREERS IN THE CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS By David Docherty A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University e September 1990 MASTER OF ARTS (1990) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Political Science) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Are Politicians Rational Actors? Political Careers in the Canadian House of Commons AUTHOR: David Campbell Docherty, B.A. (Wilfrid Laurier) SUPERVISOR: Professor M. M. Atkinson NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 239 -iii- ABSTRACT Conventional analysis suggests that the Canadian House of Commons suffers from a lack of experienced parliamentarians. This thesis attempts to provide an analysis of political careers in Canada, and suggests that not all careers are of such a short duration. An initial analysis of Canadian political careers found some evidence to support the argument that there is little opportunity for advancement within Parliament, and that this affects the choices individuals make about staying in political life. Politicians who made it to cabinet have had longer careers than MPs who spent their entire career as a private member. An analysis of exit patterns of politicians however, found that advancement within Parliament is not the only inducement for a long political career. MPs, both cabinet ministers and backbenchers, who leave parliament by choice tend to leave after a career that is much longer than that of members who leave through electoral defeat. This indicates that a number of MPs are not making decisions to leave office, based on their inability to receive quick promotions to positions of authority (namely cabinet or positions of authority within their parties) • The thesis concludes by suggesting that the rational choice model has helped our understanding of political careers, but does not offer an encompassing explanation.
