  • Backgrounder Global Centre for Pluralism Mission
    Global Centre for Pluralism: Backgrounder Global Centre for Pluralism Mission: The Global Centre for Pluralism serves as a global platform for comparative analysis, education and dialogue about the choices and actions that advance and sustain pluralism. Vision: The Centre’s vision is a world where human differences are valued and diverse societies thrive. The Global Centre for Pluralism is an independent, charitable organization created to advance positive responses to the challenge of living peacefully and productively together in diverse societies. Why Canada Founded in Ottawa by His Highness the Aga Khan in partnership with the Government of Canada, the Centre takes inspiration from Canada’s experience. Respect for diversity has developed into a defining characteristic of Canada and a core element of the country’s identity. Although still a work in progress, Canada is a global leader in the way it has valued and managed its diverse multi-ethnic, multicultural fabric. The Centre’s headquarters will be a platform for analysing and sharing Canada’s ongoing pluralism journey with the world. His Highness the Aga Khan His Highness the Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam (Spiritual Leader) of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims. For His Highness the Aga Khan, one manifestation of his hereditary responsibilities has been a deep engagement with development for almost 60 years. Ties with Canada: His Highness has long been interested in Canada’s experience of pluralism. His close ties with Canada go back almost four decades to the 1970s when many thousands of Asian refugees expelled from Uganda, including many Ismailis, were welcomed into Canadian society.

  • The Office of Premier of Ontario 1945-2010: Who Really Advises?
    The Office of Premier of Ontario 1945-2010: Who Really Advises? Patrice Dutil and Peter P. Constantinou This article focuses on the composition of the Ontario Premier’s office and uses an institutionalist approach to put the influence of advisors in context. It looks at expenditures attributed in the Public Accounts to the Premier’s Office and staffing. It assumes that the number of advisors and their placement in the decision-making hierarchy should have a material impact on the quantity and quality of the advice being received by the Premier. Among other things the articles 2013 CanLIIDocs 388 shows that the classic policy/administration divide was not clearly defined in Ontario. Instead it exhibits a back-and-forth habit of experimentation that depended on the personality of the prime minister, the capacities of political and bureaucratic advisors, and the stages of the governmental cycle. There have been discernible cycles in the hiring of political staff and in the growth of expenditures that would indicate the Premier’s Office was more concerned with campaign preparations and externalities than it was in rivaling bureaucratic influence. Compared to Ottawa, where the structures of the Prime Minister’s Office and the Privy Council Office have been far more distinct in this similar time frame, the Ontario experience reveals itself as one of constant experimentation. or almost two generations, observers of all sorts In her study for the Gomery Commission, Liane have almost unanimously lamented the growth in Benoit noted that political staff (or “exempt staff”) Finfluence of prime ministerial advisors.

  • Lorne Pierce, Ryerson Press, and the Lmakters of Canadian Literature Series
    Lorne Pierce, Ryerson Press, and The lMakters of Canadian Literature Series Margery Fee Probably every university library in Canada has, scattered through its Cana- dian Literatuire section, most of the thirteen blue and gold volumes of Ryer- son Press's Makers of Canadian Literature series.' It is just as probable that some of these volumes rarely leave the shelves: who is likely to want a book on Robert Norwood, Arthur Stringer, or Peter McArthur today? Charles G.D. Roberts, Isabella Valancy Crawford, and Stephen Leacock are still widely taught, but the canon has shifted away from William Henry Drum- mond, Thomas Haliburton, William Kirby, and even John Richardson. Louis Fréchette, Frangois-Xavier Garneau, and Antoine G6rin-Lajoie are all impor- tant figures in Quebec history, but none is now claimed as a great poet or novelist. Still, the history of the series is of interest to bibliographers, anti- qluarian book dealers, and literary historians. Lately, critical attention has turned to such matters as the economics of literary production, the history of the audience's 'reception' of particular works, the formation of national canons, and the description of the institutions connected with any special- ized discourse. The history of the Makers of Canadian Literature series touches on all these matters. The series can by no means be described as an unequivocal success: it failed financially, and some of its volumes are uncritical and badly written. Still, other volumes are readable and makte good critical sense. And the mere process of preparing the series generated, uncovered, and preserved a great deal of information about Canada's early literary history that, while it remains to be fully exploited, will undoubtedly be useful to both scholars and critics.

  • The Honourable Leo Bernier
    The Honourable Leo Bernier The Honourable Leo Bernier (born 1929) is a former provincial politician in Ontario. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1966 to 1987, and was a Cabinet Minister in the governments of Bill Davis and Frank Miller. Bernier was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party. Bernier was born in Hudson and educated in the area. He became the general manager of Bernier & Sons Contractors, and served as President of the Hudson Chamber of Commerce. He is an honorary member of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Knights of Columbus. Bernier first ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1963 provincial election, and lost to Liberal-Labour candidate Robert Gibson by 840 votes in Kenora. Gibson died in 1966, and Bernier was elected in a by-election to replace him. He was returned by an increased margin in the 1967 provincial election, and served as a backbench supporter of the John Robarts administration. When Bill Davis succeeded Robarts as Premier, he appointed Bernier as his Minister of Mines and Northern Affairs. Bernier was easily re-elected in the 1971 provincial election and he was given additional responsibilities as Minister of Lands and Forests. During the same year, his portfolios were restructured as the Ministry of Natural Resources. Bernier was re-elected without serious opposition in the elections of 1975, 1977, 1981 and 1985. He was named Minister of Northern Affairs in February 1977 and held this position for more than eight years. Bernier was the most powerful minister for Northern Ontario in the Bill Davis government, and was sometimes called “King of the North”.
