  • Local Option Laws in Ontario Sacred Boundaries: Local Opi'ion Laws in Ontario
    SACRED BOUNDARIES: LOCAL OPTION LAWS IN ONTARIO SACRED BOUNDARIES: LOCAL OPI'ION LAWS IN ONTARIO By. KATHY LENORE BROCK, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University September 1982 MASTER OF ARTS (1982) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (Political Science) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Sacred Boundaries: Local Option Laws in Ontario AUTHOR: Kathy Lenore Brock, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor T.J. Lewis NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 162 ii Abstract The laws of Ontario operate on the principle that indivi­ duals should govern their own conduct unless it affects others adversely. The laws are created to protect individuals and their property and to ensure that citizens respect the rights of others. However, laws are protected and entrenched which defy this principle by permitting and fostering intolerance. This thesis addresses the local option laws of Ontario's liquor legislation which protect and legitimize invasion of personal liberty. These laws permit municipalities to prohi­ bit or restrict retail sale of liquor within their boundaries by vote or by COQ~cil decision. Local option has persisted t:b.roughout Ontario's history and is unlikely to be abolished despite the growing acceptance of liquor in society. To explain the longevity of these la.... ·ts, J.R. Gusfield' s approach to understanding moral crusades is used. Local option laws have become symbols of the status and influence of the so­ ber, industrious middleclass of the 1800's who founded Ontario. The right to control drinking reassures people vlho adhere to the traditional values that their views are respected in society.

À l’époque, les États-Unis et toutes les provinces canadiennes à l’exception du Québec ont adopté la prohibition de la vente d’alcool. Mais même au Québec, environ la moitié de la population de la province est alors touchée par des prohibitions locales (votées au niveau municipal), des prohibitions qui ont largement perduré tout au long de la période à l’étude. Durant cette ère de prohibition de l’alcool nord-américaine, Montréal est la plus grande ville, et une des seules sur le continent non régie par une loi sur la prohibition. C’est aussi celle qui dispose des lois les plus libérales envers l’alcool des deux côtés du 49ème parallèle grâce à la création de la Commission des Liqueurs de Québec (CLQ), le premier système de contrôle gouvernemental de l’alcool en Amérique du Nord.

  • Evaluating the Canadian Law on Surrogacy and Surrogate Motherhood
    REGULATING REPRODUCTION ‐ EVALUATING THE CANADIAN LAW ON SURROGACY AND SURROGATE MOTHERHOOD by Nisha Menon A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Nisha Menon 2009 Regulating Reproduction Evaluating the Canadian Law on Surrogacy and Surrogate Motherhood Nisha Menon Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2009 ABSTRACT Certain provisions of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act 2004 appear to have been enacted as a legislative response to the objections to surrogacy noted by the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies in 1993. However, the legislation may not be successful in tackling concerns generated by recent developments in assisted reproductive technologies. This thesis identifies the shortcomings of the AHRA provisions that impact its ability to effectively regulate the surrogate act in Canada. The discussion suggests shifting the existing regulatory framework away from the imposition of legislative prohibitions on commercial surrogacy and towards a model that is more effective in dealing with the current reality of the surrogate arrangement. Upon consideration of regulatory regimes in Israel and the United Kingdom, a framework for surrogacy is suggested that balances the reproductive rights of the individuals who participate in such an arrangement, while minimizing the potentially exploitative aspects of the surrogate act. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It has been a tremendous privilege to work on this subject under the supervision of Professor Bernard Dickens. My deepest gratitude to him for all the advice, attention and encouragement he has given me and the knowledge he has shared with me in this field.

  • Canadians and Prohibition: an Analysis of the 1898 Referendum
    Canadians and Prohibition: An Analysis of the 1898 Referendum BY RUTH DUPRÉ AND DÉSIRÉ VENCATACHELLUM HEC MONTRÉAL – PRELIMINARY DRAFT – MARCH 2005 To be presented at the Canadian Network for Economic History Conference, Queen’s University, April 15-17, 2005. We wish to thank Tania Rakotonirina for her very able research assistantship and Fonds Mercure HEC for financial aid. Our email addresses are: [email protected] and [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION While the American episode of alcohol prohibition (1919-1933) is notorious and has been extensively studied, very little work has been done in a comparative international perspective. Yet, the prohibition movement was international and quite a few countries, particularly the ones with a significant Anglo-Saxon Protestant majority, went through a long-lasting and vigorous struggle over this issue. Our larger research program is concerned with an international exploration to shed new light on the American experiment with prohibition. In this first paper we examine the Canadian case and more specifically, the national referendum on the prohibition of alcohol of 1898. The story of the temperance movement struggle to suppress the liquor trade can be divided into four phases: the 1840s-50s, the 1870s-80s, the 1890s-First World War and the 1920s. In the two first phases, Canada followed a road very similar to the US. From the turn of the 20th century, their roads began to diverge as the movement to prohibition intensified in the U.S. while it subsided in Canada until First World War. The 1898 referendum was thus a turning point in the Canadian history of alcohol regulation.

Abstract In popular culture and in historiography, the temperance movement has often been depicted as a movement by women to control men's drinking. Forgotten have been the thousands of men who identified themselves with the campaign for prohibition, creating for themselves an image of temperate masculinity that exemplified the attributes of responsibility and respectability. In nineteenth- century Ontario, men who had never taken a drink and those who struggled with the habit often joined fraternal lodges centered around the temperance cause, looking for common ground and assistance in avoiding alcohol in a society where alcohol use was normative.

  • From Temperance to Prohibition in 19Th Century Nova Scotia' Nova
    Ernest J. Dick From Temperance to Prohibition in 19th Century Nova Scotia' Nova Scotians dramatically changed their attitudes towards, and appetites for, intoxicating beverages in the 19th century. Where alco­ hol was initially considered an essential part of daily life, Nova Sco­ tians came to consider personal temperance desirable and complete abstinence preferable. The prohibtion of the manufacture, import, or sale of all liquor came to be promoted as a political solution for the whole of society. The rethinking of the proper place and role of intoxicating beverages literally touched all corners of society. This rethinking signalled in Nova Scotia, as it did elsewhere, the first mass movement in colonial society to control and modify its own behaviour, with little help from the usual elites. It reflected a fundamental shift in the role and responsibility of government for the conduct of its citizenry. There has been little critical attention paid to the nineteenth-century development of the temperance-prohibition phenomenon in Nova Scotia or in Canada in general though not for lack of documentation chronicling the efforts of the friends of temperance and prohibition.2 Admittedly, those not so friendly to the campaign tended to be more reticent and cautious, for their apprehensions seemed to fly directly in the face of good and righteous intentions. The understanding of their case requires a good deal more reading between the lines. As in any situation where one side succeeds in claiming all the morality, those that are more pessimistic have difficulty in speaking their true minds. However, the temperance-prohibition challenge was flung with such vigour at the political, administrative, and religious attitudes and institutions of the day that society had to respond and archives have abundant records of those responses.
