    APRIL 2008 VOLUME 15 / NUMBER 2 $3 PM# 40064924 NOTE FROM THE CHAIR The MPWWA is committed to the improved operation of water and wastewater treatment plants through the better understanding of the design, construction and manage - ment of these facilities. Through the provision of regular “hands on” workshops and seminars, the association has enabled operators to upgrade their knowledge and has provided operators, especially those in smaller Maritime centres, with the opportunity to receive proper train - ing. The MPWWA encourages and facilitates an interchange of ideas between operators, professional and consultant engineers, contractors and other wastewater associations. In effect, the MPWWA provides an open forum for Atlantic Canada and has improved communications among operators, provincial govern - ments, industry and wastewater consultants across Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. What training opportunities are on the way? We have our 28th annual training seminar planned for April 20 to 23. At the event, we will be touching on several new technologies and introducing some of the latest equipment that is being used in the treatment of water and wastewater. In the coming months, there are also the following workshops lined up: • Electrical workshops at PEI's Holland College, Module #1 (May 5 to 6) and Module #2 (May 7 to 8). • Fire hydrant and valves workshops this spring, date and place TBA. MPWWA's training committee will hold a meeting shortly after the April conference to plan the workshops for the coming year. Have an idea? Send it our way. Go to www.mpwwa.ca and Photo courtesy of HRM press the "Contact Us" link or forward your idea to your local Mayor Peter Kelly (left) thanks project manager Ted Tam and project director Brad Anguish for their hard work.

  • Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention
    Canadian Political Science Review 4(1) March 2010 Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention Ian Stewart and David K. Stewart (Acadia University, University of Calgary)* Abstract Since Confederation, the electorate responsible for the selection of Canadian political party leaders has progressively widened; by the end of the twentieth century, most parties were employing some variant of the universal ballot (thereby giving all party members a voice in leadership selection). Nevertheless, the 42 person executive of the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservatives rolled back this democratic tide by organizing a delegated convention to replace departing leader John Hamm. The Conservatives justified their decision by claiming that such a convention would be the most fair, the most equal, and the most exciting way to select their new leader. This article demonstrates, however, that these claims are difficult to substantiate. There was much drama on voting day, but the Conservatives were, in fact, very fortunate in that respect. Equality between constituencies was heightened, but only at the cost of introducing a substantial inequality between individual party members. As to fairness, it seemed entirely irrelevant to the proceedings. Ultimately, not even a majority of delegates approved of the change in process. Even in “counter-revolutionary” Canada, democratizing claims are difficult to resist. Since Confederation, changes in the federal franchise have widened the pool of Canadian citizens able to participate in the electoral process by eliminating restrictions based on class, gender, and race. Once members of a social group have become eligible voters their subsequent disenfranchisement has rarely been contemplated and never achieved.
