As Lawrence Soloway, the son of Hy Soloway, one of the Foundation’s founders explained, the Foundation was launched in 1971 with a gift of $100,000. By March of this year, the Foundation’s assets had reached $61 million. Soloway conducted a short interview with the Foundation’s two surviving founders, Bernard Shinder and Norman Zagerman, who explained the idea behind the Foundation was to go beyond the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Annual Campaign – then known as the UJA Cam- paign – to create mechanisms to ensure the long-term future of Ottawa’s Jewish community.

    H. H. F. Binhammer CANADA'S MONEY MUDDLE IN RETROSPECT QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONTROL OF MONEY are as old as the use of money as a measure and store of value and a medium of exchange. Relevant to developments in the post~war period in Canada is the controversy of the mid-nineteenth century between the so-called Banking School and the Currency School. The Banking School maintained that control over the supply of money should be left in the hands of private commercial banks. The Currency School, on the other hand, among other things, maintained that control over the money supply should be vested directly or indirectly in the hands of government. Settlement in favour of the Currency School led to the establishment of central banks, mainly under the sponsorship of govern­ ments. These banks were to provide an umbrella over the private commercial banks. In Canada, interference with the money supply by a central authority started with the Finance Act of 1914. This was followed by the establishment of the Bank of Canada in 1935, first with limited government participation and later with com~ plete government control. The degree to which the central bank should assert its influence over the economy and in particular over the private commercial banks was not questioned until the fifties. During the thirties, the war, and the immediate post-war period, the central bank, on the whole, accommodated the activities of the chartered banks without question. That is to say, the central bank, in a more or less routine fashion, assisted the chartered banks to meet the demands of business.

  • Inflation Targeting in Canada
    In‡ation Targeting in Canada: Optimal Policy or Just Being There? Peter Howitt Brown University October 2, 2006 Paper presented at the Festschrift in Honour of David Laidler, University of Western Ontario, August 18-20, 2006. Parts of the paper are drawn from my unpublished essay entitled “Learning Abnout Monetary Theory and Policy,” which bene…tted from many conversations on the subject with David Laidler and also with Joel Fried. John Crow, Chuck Freedman, Nicholas Rowe, T.K. Rymes and seminar participants at Carleton University and the Laidler Festschrift provided valu- able comments. 1 Introduction David Laidler has had the good sense not to have taken too seriously the notion that people are rational maximizers, always acting under rational expectations. One of the central themes of his work is that money is a device for economizing on the costs of processing information. People use it as a bu¤er stock that automatically absorbs unforeseen changes in income and expenses without the need for deliberation. They also use it as a unit of account, measure of value and standard of deferred payment because it is convenient to use, conventional and easily understood, even if this seems to introduce biases and ine¢ ciencies into their decision making and even if economists can think of better measures and standards.1 In this respect David stands apart from the mainstream of macroeconomics, which has been characterized over the years by what he has called an irrational passion for dispassionate rationality. But unlike many other critics of unbounded rationality, David does not put his ideas forth as an attack on free market economics.

  • The International Development Research Centre a Brief History
    The International Development Research Centre A Brief History G. Newkirk, IDRC Green, IDRC F. IDRC C. Sanger, Cover photos, IDRC: Peter Bennett Lorra Thompson Daniel Buckles Neil McKee Yves Beaulieu The International Development Research Centre A Brief History “This is an idea whose time has come.” The sentiments expressed by Maurice Strong on the creation of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) in 1970 echoed those of many distinguished persons in the decades before the birth of this new Canadian entity. For some years, it had become apparent that the spectacular benefits science and technology were bringing to the rich countries were not reaching the developing world. In 1935, after taking note of the global imbalance in scientific develop- ment, eminent biologist Julian Huxley called for a truly scientific approach to the problem of development. United States President Harry Truman declared in his 1949 inaugural address that it was time to mobilize science for worldwide development. He was convinced that the technology that had worked for the devel- oped countries would provide the same benefits when transplanted to underdeveloped regions. 1 In the mid-1960s, the UN Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Technology to Development observed that “Only a very small fraction of the world’s scientific and technical resources is devoted to the problems of the developing countries; the overwhelming propor- tion of the world’s intellectual capital, as well as its physical capital, is applied toward … the highly developed countries.” And in her 1966 benchmark essay, Spaceship Earth, British economist, journalist, and educator Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson) declared that “… mankind is … a single, equal and fraternal community” and that “… new technological resources, properly deployed, will conquer ancient shortage.” By the late 1960s, a climate of disillusion and distrust surrounded for- eign aid programs.

  • Canada's IMF Executive Director
    Bessma Momani Canada’s IMF executive director Abstract: This article provides empirical evidence of the autonomy and agenda- setting capabilities of Canada’s International Monetary Fund executive director in Washington, D.C., for further theoretical debate. Little is known about this position in the public service. This article seeks to assess the degree of autonomy of Canadian directors from Ottawa, the nature of the IMF’s agenda items proposed by Canada’s executive directors, and, most importantly, whether these agenda items originate from the Department of Finance and the Bank of Canada or from the directors’ office in Washington directly. The author also seeks to better understand the hiring and re- cruitment of Canada’s IMF executive directors. Sommaire : Cet article tente de fournir une e´vidence empirique sur les capacite´s d’autonomie et de choix des questions a` l’ordre du jour dont jouit l’administrateur du Fonds mone´taire international pour le Canada a` Washington, D.C., dans le but de favoriser le de´bat the´orique. Ce poste est peu connu dans la fonction publique. L’ar- ticle cherche a` e´valuer le degre´ d’autonomie des administrateurs canadiens par rapport a` Ottawa ; la nature de certaines questions a` l’ordre du jour du FMI propose´es par les administrateurs du Canada ; et, plus important encore, il cherche a` savoir si ces questions proviennent du ministe`re des Finances et de la Banque du Canada ou bien directement du bureau de l’administrateur a` Washington.

  • Destruction and Human Remains
    Destruction and human remains HUMAN REMAINS AND VIOLENCE Destruction and human remains Destruction and Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass violence and human remains genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute Disposal and concealment in the end of the executors’ work. Their victims’ remains are often treated genocide and mass violence and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering with often remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based Edited by ÉLISABETH ANSTETT on extensive primary and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts have been committed through recent history. and JEAN-MARC DREYFUS The book opens this line of enquiry by investigating the ideological, technical and practical motivations for the varying practices pursued by the perpetrator, examining a diverse range of historical events from throughout the twentieth century and across the globe. These nine original chapters explore this demolition of the body through the use of often systemic, bureaucratic and industrial processes, whether by disposal, concealment, exhibition or complete bodily annihilation, to display the intentions and socio-political frameworks of governments, perpetrators and bystanders. A NST Never before has a single publication brought together the extensive amount of work devoted to the human body on the one hand and to E mass violence on the other, and until now the question of the body in TTand the context of mass violence has remained a largely unexplored area.
