    Fixing What Ain’t Broke The New Norm of Fixed-Date Elections in Canada GRIFFYN G. CHEZENKO, Memorial University of Newfoundland Abstract. Since 2001, legislation implementing fixed dates for general elections has been passed by the federal government, and most provincial and territorial governments. The notion that general election dates are now fixed, however, is flawed. In my submission to Changing Political Landscapes, I will explore the fledgling norm of fixed date elections in Canada and examine the aspects of the legislation which call into doubt the fixedness of these elections. With a review of the literature on the subject, I begin by inquiring into the emergence of this foreign phenomenon into Canadian electoral politics and the justification for its extensive adoption. Comparing the legislation across jurisdictions, I analyze the basic construct of fixed date election legislation in Canada, survey similarities and differences, and discover how fixed dates for elections are ultimately avoidable. As a result, I find that election dates are not truly fixed in Canadian jurisdictions where fixed date election legislation has been enacted. Introduction Since the dawn of the 21st century, fixed dates for general elections in Canada have become a widely adopted norm. Bernard Lord, the former New Brunswick premier, once opined that folks “like to know when the elections are going to be” (as cited in Desserud, 2007: 204). This is a familiar concept to Canadian voters because we are inundated with information about what goes on with our southern neighbours. It is rather comforting, as Premier Lord knows, knowing when an election will be, and that there is nothing those rascally politicians can do about it.

  • New Brunswick PC Government Under Pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party Enjoys 11 Point Lead in Decided Vote, Time for a Change Sentiment at 56%
    New Brunswick PC Government under pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party enjoys 11 point lead in decided vote, time for a change sentiment at 56% Toronto – June 28, 2005 – Liberals are leading the Progressive Conservatives by 11 points among New Brunswick decided voters (46% Liberals – 35% PC – 17% NDP). Voters appear to be choosing the Liberal Party because they feel it is time for a change. Voters say they are not choosing the Progressive Conservative party because of the party’s policies (particularly healthcare) and its leader. The majority of people in New Brunswick want a change, saying that it is time to give a new person and party a chance (56%). Fifty-two per cent of the public also support a provincial election this fall to either confirm Lord’s government or elect a new one. Despite the mood for a change, PC Premier Bernard Lord enjoys a 6 point lead as Best Premier. Looking at leadership favourables, outgoing NDP leader Elizabeth Weir has the strongest favourable rating at 57%. Lord edges out Graham by 6 points in favourables, the same margin as on best Premier. However, Lord also leads in unfavourables with 38%, 21 points higher than Liberal leader Graham. A second finding that conflicts with the desire of change is the mood of the province. People in New Brunswick feel positively on the direction the province is heading. However, when it comes to issues of concern, health care, jobs and education are the most important to them personally. New Brunswick clearly appears poised for a close provincial election whenever it comes.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

  • L'assemblée Législative Du Nouveau-Brunswick À L'ère Du XXI Siècle
    L’Assemblée législative du Nouveau-Brunswick à l’ère du XXIe siècle Donald Desserud, Institut des études urbaines et communautaires Stewart Hyson, Département d’histoire et de sciences politiques Université du Nouveau-Brunswick (campus de Saint John) Saint John (Nouveau-Brunswick) E2L 4L5 Courriels : [email protected] et [email protected] Produit pour le Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements, Ottawa, 20111 Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements Introduction Lorsque le Nouveau-Brunswick est entré dans la Confédération, en 1867, les fondations du modèle de Westminster de démocratie législative (à savoir un gouvernement représentatif et responsable) étaient déjà en place. De telles institutions étaient typiques dans les colonies britanniques de l’époque, caractérisées par un électorat relativement restreint, une activité gouvernementale de portée limitée et des méthodes de prise de décisions élitistes. Toutefois, si les institutions parlementaires et la culture politique d’autres anciennes colonies britanniques ont évolué de la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXe siècle, il semble que le Nouveau-Brunswick, lui, se soit figé dans le temps. Au sujet de la propension au clientélisme et à la corruption dans la province, Patrick Fitzpatrick a écrit, en 1972, qu’on pourrait décrire la politique provinciale au Nouveau-Brunswick comme fermée, stagnante et anachronique et qu’elle rappelle, sous certains abords, la politique qui avait cours au XIXe siècle en Grande-Bretagne avant le mouvement de réforme (116; voir également Doyle, 1976, et Thorburn, 1961). Quoi qu’il en soit, les bases de la réforme avaient déjà été jetées. Les années 1960, en particulier, ont été balayées par de grands changements sur le plan de la gouvernance, des services sociaux, de l’éducation et de la redistribution des revenus, grâce au programme visionnaire « Chances égales pour tous » du premier ministre libéral Louis Robichaud, au pouvoir de 1960 à 1970 (Stanley, 1984; Young, 1986, 1987; ICRDR, 2001; Cormier, 2004).
