January 4, 2019 Karen Goodings Peace River Regional District Box 810 Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4H8 Dear Karen, It is my pleasure to provide you with a complimentary issue of our new political newsletter, The Composite Advisor. British Columbia today is in the midst of an exciting political drama — one that may last for the next many months, or (as I believe) the next several years. At present, a New Democratic Party government led by Premier John Horgan and supported by Andrew Weaver's Green Party, holds a narrow advantage in the Legislative Assembly. And after 16 years in power, the long-governing BC Liberals now sit on the opposition benches with a relatively-new leader in Andrew Wilkinson. B.C.'s next general-election is scheduled for October 2021, almost three years from now, but as the old saying goes: 'The only thing certain, is uncertainty." (The best political quote in this regard may have been by British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan who, asked by a reporter what might transpire to change his government's course of action, replied: "Events, dear boy, events." New research suggests that MacMillan never said it — but it's still a great quote!) Composite Public Affairs Inc.

  • Governance Through Social Learning the CENTRE on GOVERNANCE SERIES
    Governance Through Social Learning THE CENTRE ON GOVERNANCE SERIES Governance is about guiding: it is the process whereby an organization steers itself. Studying governance means probing the distribution of rights, obliga- tions, and power that underpins organizations and social systems; under- standing how they co-ordinate their parallel activities and maintain their coherence; exploring the sources of dysfunction and lacklustre performance; and suggesting ways to redesign organizations whose governance is in need of repair. Governance also has to do with the complex ways in which the private, public, and civic sectors co-ordinate their activities, with the manner in which citizens produce governance through their active participation in a democra- tic society, and with the instruments and processes required to ensure good and effective stewardship. This series welcomes a range of contributions - from conceptual and the- oretical reflections, ethnographic and case studies, and proceedings of con- ferences and symposia to works of a very practical nature - that deal with particular problems or nexus of issues on the governance front.

The Europeans who occupied British Columbia in the nineteenth century placed the natives under a colonial style of administration. Without citizenship o r representation in t h e federal or provincial government for m a n y years, the Indians tried t o present their grievances to the government mainly through protest organizations. The effectiveness of Indian protest organizations was weakened by the inability of the natives to unite i n one provincial a s s o c i a t i o n .

  • The Tailings of Canadian Politics: the North-South Political Divide
    The Tailings of Canadian Politics: The North-South Political Divide TRACY SUMMERVILLE AND GREG POELZER The Northern Review #25/26 (Summer 2005): 106–122. Regionalism continues to be a central concern of scholars of Canadian politics. Most scholars focus on Western alienation, Quebec separatism, or Atlantic economic disparities. Yet little attention has been given to the North-South political cleavages within provinces.1 The concerns of resi- dents over land claims in northern British Columbia and the transporta- tion of garbage to Kirk land Lake from Toronto, to cite but two examples, suggest the existence of a distinctly northern provincial identity. This paper argues that there is clear evidence that residents across Canada’s provincial Norths see them sel ves as distinct from the larger provincial political communities of which they are a part. Moreover, we suggest the residents of the provincial Norths have com monalities in their political perceptions and responses to important policy issues. Our paper begins with a discussion of the relationship among culture, institutions, and internal colonialism as factors in the development of re- gional political identity and a brief outline of the issues of northern iden- tity in scho larship on the North. We then illustrate through three cases— gun con trol and the related bear hunting moratoriums, health care, and economic devel opment—that policies designed in the provincial South are framed with in a very diff erent set of beliefs, values, and attitudes than in the provincial North. Clearly, the outcomes of these policy decisions have very diff erent impacts in the provincial Norths because of these disparate beliefs and values.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Michael Curran Degree: Master of Science Title: Bedrock Structural Influences on River Morphology Examining Committee: Chair: Rosemary Collard Assistant Professor Jeremy G. Venditti Senior Supervisor Professor John J. Clague Supervisor Professor Emeritus Doug Stead Supervisor Professor Allison Pfeiffer External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of Geology Western Washington University Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2020 ii Abstract Bedrock rivers largely set the pace for landscape evolution in unglaciated terrain and yet little is known about what controls their morphologies. I examine the role that geologic structure plays in the alignment and morphology of bedrock canyons at different scales. At the watershed scale, I examine the striking alignment of the Fraser River with the Fraser River Fault zone and its largely unmapped secondary fault structures. I explore how large sediment inputs affect bedrock canyons alignment and their morphological characteristics. At the reach scale, I investigate how geological structure influences bedrock canyon width. I find that width constrictions coincide with dominant sub- horizontal joint sets whereas widenings coincide with dominant sub-vertical joint sets. I consider this in the context of sequential constrictions and widenings and propose a conceptual model where sub-vertical jointing makes canyon walls more susceptible to failure due to river undercutting than horizontal jointing.
