  • The NDP's Approach to Constitutional Issues Has Not Been Electorally
    Constitutional Confusion on the Left: The NDP’s Position in Canada’s Constitutional Debates Murray Cooke [email protected] First Draft: Please do not cite without permission. Comments welcome. Paper prepared for the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, June 2004, Winnipeg The federal New Democratic Party experienced a dramatic electoral decline in the 1990s from which it has not yet recovered. Along with difficulties managing provincial economies, the NDP was wounded by Canada’s constitutional debates. The NDP has historically struggled to present a distinctive social democratic approach to Canada’s constitution. Like its forerunner, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the NDP has supported a liberal, (English-Canadian) nation-building approach that fits comfortably within the mainstream of Canadian political thought. At the same time, the party has prioritized economic and social polices rather than seriously addressing issues such as the deepening of democracy or the recognition of national or regional identities. Travelling without a roadmap, the constitutional debates of the 80s and 90s proved to be a veritable minefield for the NDP. Through three rounds of mega- constitutional debate (1980-82, 1987-1990, 1991-1992), the federal party leadership supported the constitutional priorities of the federal government of the day, only to be torn by disagreements from within. This paper will argue that the NDP’s division, lack of direction and confusion over constitution issues can be traced back to longstanding weaknesses in the party’s social democratic theory and strategy. First of all, the CCF- NDP embraced rather than challenged the parameters and institutions of liberal democracy.

  • REDUCING POVERTY 1952-1967 Summary
    REDUCING POVERTY 1952-1967 Summary Old Age Security (OAS), the first universal pension for Canadians, was introduced in 1952: · The maximum pension was $40 per month or $480 per year. · The pension was available to Canadians 70 years of age and over who had lived in Canada for at least 20 years. · Status Indians were included. · For the first time, Canadian seniors could receive a pension without undergoing a “means test1 ”. However, retirement still meant a drastically reduced standard of living for many people. There was growing public and political support for a universal, employment-based pension plan that would be portable from job to job. The provinces agreed to another Constitutional amendment to extend federal government powers beyond legislati that applied only to old age. As a result, the contributory Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP)2 were established in 1966: 1 The "Means Test" The "means test" was used to determine a senior's income, or means. The test involved provincial pension authorities calculating all aspects of a senior's income (e.g., pensions, income from boarding house operations, etc.) as well as the value of "perks" they received, such as free room and board. The means test, however, did not take into account how much money a person needed to pay for food, shelter, clothing, fuel, utilities or household supplies. If a senior's annual income, including pensions, was greater than $365, he or she was not eligible for the Old Age Pension. The income each received determined the amount of assistance to which he or she was entitled.

  • The Manitoba New Democratic Party Through the Prisms of Leadership, Performance, Ideology, and Policy
    The NDP: Manitoba’s Natural Governing Party? (Draft) September 2008 For a Conference: “Manitoba Politics and Government into the 21st Century” University of Manitoba Winnipeg November, 2008 Nelson Wiseman Dept. of Political Science University of Toronto 1 This paper peers at the Manitoba New Democratic Party through the prisms of leadership, performance, ideology, and policy. It traces the party’s development, membership, and changing bases of support. It probes the interplay of leader, party, and society, of biography and history. To understand the party, its ideas and leaders, requires an appreciation of Manitoba’s ever-evolving political sociology. The provincial NDP’s meteoric rise to power came exactly 50 years to the day after the Winnipeg General Strike ended. The party’s 1969 victory was remarkable because the NDP and its predecessor parties – the Independent Labor Party (1920-1936) and then the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) – had never been more than third parties in the legislature. Within a few short years of the NDP’s creation, however, the party catapulted into government and moved from the periphery to the centre of provincial power and from the margins into the mainstream of provincial society. The party has held office in every decade since its initial election, in 26 of the last 40 years, winning seven of 11 elections. This raises the question: Has the NDP become Manitoba’s natural governing party? What accounts for the party’s success? Consciously constructed as a mass party, it is principle, philosophy, and the membership that ostensibly drive the NDP rather than opportunism, expedience, and leaders.

  • Remembering Robert Stanfield: a Good- Humoured and Gallant Man
    REMEMBERING ROBERT STANFIELD: A GOOD- HUMOURED AND GALLANT MAN Rod McQueen At his passing in December, Robert Lorne Stanfield was once again remembered as “the best prime minister Canada never had.” As his longtime press secretary recalls in this appreciation of the former Progressive Conservative leader, Stanfield was untroubled by his three successive election losses to Pierre Trudeau — including his near-victory in the 1972 election. As Rod McQueen writes, though he would rather have won, Stanfield always kept losing in perspective and never allowed himself to be bitter. McQueen remembers Stanfield for his wry and self-deprecating humour, his debating skills in the House, and above all his convictions and principles. Lors de sa disparition en décembre dernier, Robert Lorne Stanfield fut de nouveau qualifié de « meilleur premier ministre que le Canada n’a jamais eu ». Comme le rappelle dans cet hommage celui qui fut longtemps secrétaire de presse de l’ancien chef du Parti progressiste-conservateur, Robert Stanfield n’a jamais perdu sa sérénité malgré trois échecs électoraux successifs contre Pierre Elliott Trudeau, dont sa quasi- victoire de 1972. Il aurait certes préféré gagner, note Rod McQueen, mais l’homme savait mettre les choses en perspective et s’interdire toute amertume. L’auteur évoque son ironie subtile et son sens de l’autodérision, ses talents de polémiste à la Chambre des communes et, par-dessus tout, la fermeté de ses convictions et principes. et me begin with the worst moment in my life as As Stanfield’s press secretary since 1970, such was my press secretary to Robert Stanfield.

(HONOURS) A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Christine Robin Hughes, February, 1992 McMASTER UNIV~RSITY UBRARY MASTER OF ARTS (1992) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Anthropology) Hamilton. Ontario TITLE: "You never get lonely here": Community Creation in a Seniors' Housing Co-operative AUTHOR: Christine Robin Hughes, BA (Honours) (University of Waterloo) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Matthew O. Cooper NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 205 -ll- ABSTRACf As improved medical technology lengthens the time that old people are able to remain at home, the need for appropriate housing becomes more important. Housing designed for independent senior citizens should be more than a place to live. Housing options should provide residents with opportunities for friendships and a sense of community. This thesis applies an anthropological interpretation to the process of community building among the members in a senior citizens' housing co-operative located in Toronto, Ontario. Research was based upon participant observation, structured interviews with key informants, and written sources. In addition to identifying factors which promoted or obstructed a sense of community in this particular co-op, comparisons are made to other age-segregated housing options, as described in the literature. Co-op housing is affordable and the opportunities for self­ management and participation in decision-making are qualities which lend themselves to the lifestyle of older, retired individuals, with the necessary time and experience.
