  • Interview with Rana Bokhari, Liberal Party Leader†
    An Interview with Rana Bokhari, Liberal Party Leader† R A N A B O K H A R I BPS: How did you end up in law school? RB: Well I spent most of my life as a farmer. My family had a large chicken farm in Anola, so for much of my life, my day to day was filled with gathering eggs and feeding chickens and other work in the barns. As a young girl, I wanted to be a doctor and my parents were encouraging me to do so. As I got older I realized that medicine wasn’t for me. It was too sterile, too dry, and it didn’t fit my personality at all. I admire anyone in the profession but it was not my calling. In my late teens, early twenties I went through a very creative phase, I started designing clothes. I had no formal fashion design education but I loved tearing things apart and putting them back together, it was just this quirk I had. At that point, my dad who was a business man and a wonderful supportive male role model in my life, encouraged my creativity, but felt I needed a solid educational foundation. I went back to university when I was 28 years old, and with the encouragement of my parents I made the decision I was going to go to law school. And after a degree in Psychology, a degree in Criminology, my pre-Masters in Criminology, I got into law school at Robson Hall, University of Manitoba. BPS: Did you do it because you saw a career as a lawyer or because you already had some intimation about a career in politics? RB: I went into law as a stepping stone to public service.

  • Manitoba Liberal Party Today Is a Small ‘L’ Liberal Party Similar to the Moderate Centre-Left Federal Liberal Party
    MANITOBA’S LIBERALS: SLIDING INTO THIRD November 9, 2008 For presentation to the conference: “Manitoba Politics, Government and Policy into the 21st Century” St. John’s College, University of Manitoba Winnipeg November 20-22, 2008 Introduction The essential task in analyzing the history of the Liberal Party of Manitoba is explaining how it became Manitoba’s third party. Manitoba’s Liberals have deep roots in the province’s history, including participation in a government that lasted three and half decades in the mid-20th century. Why then have they arrived at their current diminished state: two seats in the legislature, just 12% of the vote in May 22, 2007 provincial election? When viewed from elsewhere in Canada there is much about Manitoba that suggests one could expect to find a strong Liberal presence here. For example, it has much of the urban, ethnically diverse character traditionally associated with Liberal strength in Ontario. Indeed Nelson Wiseman characterized Manitoba as the “Ontario of the prairies” because the wave of immigrants from Ontario during Manitoba’s first few decades had a formative impact on its political culture.1 However, the Ontario immigrants were British and prosperous, settling the good farmlands in Manitoba’s south and west. Indeed it helps to understand the state of Manitoba’s Liberals by comparing their situation to that of the Liberal Party in Ontario. Today Ontario Liberals are in a markedly different position than their Manitoba counterparts. The Ontario party has had considerable electoral success over the past few decades. Since 1987 it has won three decisive majority victories in Ontario elections, and by 2011 will have governed the province for 13 out of 26 years.

  • ANNUAL REPORT Each One of Us Brings Something Special, Something Necessary to Making Winnipeg a Better Place to Live
    2003 | 2004 ANNUAL REPORT Each one of us brings something special, something necessary to making Winnipeg a better place to live. When “we” work together, our individual contributions multiply into the strength and confidence of “we”. And “we” all benefit. United Way makes “we” happen. It’s about “We” A few years ago, the Board of Trustees and other Winnipeggers envisioned a renewed United Way – one that would centralize around a community mandate and engage the community in meaningful ways to achieve it. They envisioned a United Way that would measure impact over the long-term, impact that would be sustainable, measured in changed lives and improved conditions, for all of us. Since the articulation of this vision, each consecutive board has laid important pieces of a foundation that has rebuilt and redefined United Way from a fundraising and fund allocating organization into a catalyst for community change. This year, the Board has not only continued to build upon this vision, as you will see in the pages of this annual report, it has set a course for the future with a three- year plan that focuses on three key elements of community building – engagement, capacity building and impact. The three-year plan recognizes that real community change happens as people: acknowledge the need for change and begin to take active interest in making it happen; build their capacity to effect the change; and focus their efforts in a way that will make the change meaningful, relevant and sustainable over the long term. It’s a plan for the future on which we can all place our hands.

Remember . ? Coffee in the cafeteria; the noon-hour volleyball games; cramming for exams; the long bus ride out to Fort Garry; the 'Toban twice a week; worrying about a date for the next dance; the welcome vacation. A be­ wildering array of activities that makes us wonder how we could ever pass the exams. Within the pages of the 1955 Brown and Gold. we have tried to re­ captur� some of the already fading moments of the past year. Carousel. the winning Bisons, another McGoun Cup victory, a new university president. Many memorable events we could not cover, but who can forget the anxiety of the Formosa crisis; Marilyn Bell's crossing of Lake Ontario; Mendes-France's reforms as France's premier; the shooting of Beria and the fall of Malenkov, and the British Empire Games in Van- couver. As you turn the pages, you'll ndtice several photos of events from earlier years. For the safekeeping of all these memories, we present the 1955 Brown and Gold.
