    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report

    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

    Student Vote Results

    Notley and the NDP win majority government in province-wide Student Vote Edmonton, May 5, 2015 – More than 85,000 students under the voting age cast ballots in Student Vote Alberta for the 2015 provincial election. After learning about the democratic process, researching the candidates and party platforms, and debating the future of Alberta, students cast ballots for official candidates running in their electoral division. By the end of the school day today, 792 schools had reported their election results, representing all 87 electoral divisions in the province. In total, 82,474 valid votes, 2,526 rejected ballots and 2,123 declined ballots were cast by student participants. There were many close races in the province, with 16 divisions decided by less than 25 votes. Students elected Rachel Notley and the NDP to a majority government with 56 seats, including all 19 seats in Edmonton and 15 of 25 seats in Calgary. The NDP increased their share of the popular vote to 37.1 from 12.9 per cent in 2012. Party leader Rachel Notley easily won in her electoral division of Edmonton-Strathcona with 74 per cent of the vote. The Wildrose Party won 23 seats and will form the Student Vote official opposition. The party also won 23 seats in the last Student Vote, but the party’s share of the popular vote decreased to 24.4 per cent, down from 28.2 per cent in 2012. Leader Brian Jean was defeated in his riding of Fort McMurray-Conklin by just three votes. The Progressive Conservatives took 6 seats, down from 54 in 2012 when they won a majority government.

    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017

    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017 JASON KENNEY ELECTED LEADER OF THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ALBERTA Introduction In a victory surprising for its size and decisiveness, Jason Kenney won the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) on Saturday, October 28. Kenney took 61.1 per cent of the almost 60,000 votes cast, besting former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean with 31.5 per cent, and 7.3 per cent for Doug Schweitzer, who managed the late Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2014. Background The win capped a fifteen-month process that began when Kenney launched the idea of uniting Alberta Conservatives into one party, and is a significant tribute to his organizational skills and superior ground game. Kenney’s success had several key steps: • On July 16, 2016, he announced he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party on a platform of merging with Wildrose. • On March 18, 2017, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party with more than 75 per cent of the delegate votes. • Two months later, Kenney and Brian Jean announced a merger referendum among the membership of the PCs and Wildrose to be held on July 22. • The referendum was strongly passed by both parties by identical approvals of 96 per cent, which created the United Conservative Party and led the way to last Saturday’s leadership victory. Deep Political & Government Experience Born in Toronto and raised in Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney began his political life as a Liberal in 1988, serving as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, then leader of the provincial Liberal Party.
