I love Canada. I love how it is beautiful and vast and diverse and complicated. And to me, this play is important to the creation of the Canada that I love. It represents a significant moment in Canadian theatre history by reflecting a significant period in Canadian political history. Linda Griffiths, along with a number of visionary contemporaries, set out to create work that would help to establish a Canadian Identity. Maggie & Pierre chronicles a time when our country was developing a voice of our own, and it is in telling that story that Linda first established her voice as a writer. It is such a blessing to have a play like this in our country’s theatrical canon, and I feel so lucky to have been able to revisit this seminal work with such a talented group of artists. We dedicate this production to Linda Griffiths, and to both the rigor and hope that she inspires.

  • The Limits to Influence: the Club of Rome and Canada
    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

    COMMUNIQUÉ Volume 27, Issue 30 July 28, 2020 WE Scandal Highlights the PM’s Ethical Incoherence Rod Taylor Leader, CHP Canada There are limits to public credulity and tolerance for blatantly reckless behaviour with public funds. The failed attempt by Prime Minister Trudeau to funnel $43.5 million of taxpayer money to his friends at the WE Charity Foundation fell outside those limits. The optics were bad. The amounts were staggering. The lies uttered to cover it up were appalling. This was not simply a Prime Minister’s error in judgment. This was a campaign to divert public funds into behind-the- scenes partisan grooming. The idea of passing nearly a billion dollars ($912 million, to be exact) into the hands of a charity connected with the Liberal brand raises questions on its face. Investigators have also discovered that the since- aborted contract to administer $912 million was not even made directly with WE Charity but with the WE Charity Foundation, a separate (sort of) charity that has only been registered for just over a year. It has no significant assets and no proven track record; it appears the reason for using a separate charity was to minimize liability risk for We Charity.1 The fact that the WE Charity Foundation would have pocketed about $43.5 million for distributing the rest of the money makes one blink hard, especially when Canada already has an army of civil servants who have proven themselves quite capable of handing out taxpayers’ money. Side-stories, new angles and “footnotes-of-interest” seem to be sprouting up all along the trail.

  • Canada Day As Part of a Political Master Brand
    Celebrating the True North: Canada Day as part of a political master brand Justin Prno Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Department of Communication Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Justin Prno, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 CELEBRATING THE TRUE NORTH ii Abstract In Canada, the rise of political branding coincided with the adoption of the permanent campaign, creating an environment in which politicking is now normalized and politicization is expected. With Canada Day 2017 as a case study, this thesis adopts Marland’s Branding Lens Thesis (2016) as a conceptual framework to analyze if a national holiday became part of the Liberal Party of Canada’s master brand. The key conclusion of this thesis is that the Liberals integrated their ‘master brand’ into Canada Day 2017 by integrating political branding into their government communications. This thesis also shows that Justin Trudeau played a bigger role during Canada Day than expected by a Prime Minister. Significantly, this thesis shows the Liberal government altered the themes and messaging of Canada 150 to parallel that of their master brand, applying a Liberal tint to Canada Day and Canada 150. CELEBRATING THE TRUE NORTH iii Acknowledgements I’ve been known to talk a lot, but when it comes to the written word, I often come up short. Either way here goes... I would like to thank the community of people that surround me, near and far, past and present. Having you as part of my life makes taking these trips around the sun far more enjoyable.

  • HIST 5222 Topics in Canadian Social History Fall 2014 Antimodernism, Modernism, and Postmodernism in Twentieth-Century Canadian Culture
    HIST 5222 Topics in Canadian Social History Fall 2014 Antimodernism, Modernism, and Postmodernism in Twentieth-Century Canadian Culture This year’s version of HIST 5222 can be organized in two ways. There are currently 11 undergrads enrolled in HIST 4222; there is an additional undergrad who will be taking it as a GWST credit. Also, others have expressed interest in the course, but are “shopping around,” as Dalhousie undergrads do. HIST 4222 is scheduled for Mondays, 10:35-1:25. If the final numbers shrink, graduate students can join the undergraduate version without any quality- based questions arising. If, however, undergrad demands remains high, and depending on graduate interest, it may be more productive to have a second version of the class, with the graduate students & a few undergrads with similar research interests. In terms of the graduate workload, greater than that of the undergraduate version: 1. The case study essay is to be approximately 3000 words (10 pages, with footnotes) in length. 2. The research essay is to be approximately 6000 words (20 pages, with footnotes) in length. 3. Finally, each graduate student will be assigned two additional articles, agreed to by the student and instructor after consultation. Interested students are asked to email me, [email protected], between Friday, Sept 4th, and Sunday, Sept 6th, so that I can assess demand before Monday’s first meeting. Once we have decided on the final format of HIST 5222, I will draw up an official syllabus with proper meeting dates.

  • Parliamentary Language Canada[Edit]
    Parliamentary Language Parliaments and legislative bodies around the world impose certain rules and standards during debates. Tradition has evolved that there are words or phrases that are deemed inappropriate for use in the legislature whilst it is in session. In a Westminster system, this is called unparliamentary language and there are similar rules in other kinds of legislative system. This includes, but is not limited to the suggestion of dishonesty or the use of profanity. The most prohibited case is any suggestion that another member is dishonourable. So, for example, suggesting that another member is lying is forbidden.[1] Exactly what constitutes unparliamentary language is generally left to the discretion of the Speaker of the House. Part of the speaker's job is to enforce the assembly's debating rules, one of which is that members may not use "unparliamentary" language. That is, their words must not offend the dignity of the assembly. In addition, legislators in some places are protected from prosecution and civil actions by parliamentary immunitywhich generally stipulates that they cannot be sued or otherwise prosecuted for anything spoken in the legislature. Consequently they are expected to avoid using words or phrases that might be seen as abusing that immunity. Like other rules that have changed with the times, speakers' rulings on unparliamentary language reflect the tastes of the period. Canada[edit] These are some of the words and phrases that speakers through the years have ruled "unparliamentary" in the Parliament
