I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

    National Women's Liberal Commission Our Politics - Our Future

    2005 Biennial Convention Liberal Party of Canada NATIONAL WOMEN'S LIBERAL COMMISSION OUR POLITICS - OUR FUTURE THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2005 WESTIN HOTEL, OTTAWA I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings to you on the occasion of the Liberal Party of Canada’s 2005 Biennial Policy Convention in Ottawa from March 3 to 6, 2005. As Leader of the Liberal Party, I am tremendously proud to see so many Liberal Women in attendance, and am grateful for the enthusiasm and ability you will bring to this event. Indeed, I am proud to say that we have accomplished much of what we have set out to do, and our progress has been more than impressive. In fact, we have asserted our country’s role on the international stage, increased transparency and accountability, signed a historic Health Accord with the provinces and presented a clear picture of the Canada we envision for the future. One can measure our Party’s success by the devotion of individuals, such as yourselves, and we are very thankful to have such a wonderful group of dedicated women working for the betterment of our country. You can all take great pride in having upheld our Party’s principles, while contributing to the advancement of the political initiatives on behalf of all women in Canada. I look forward to joining you and discussing our objectives while renewing several ties of friendship with many members and organizers present. Please accept my warmest regards and best wishes for a most productive and exciting Convention.

  • Canada's Defence Budget

    Canada's Defence Budget

    Canada’s Defence Budget September, 2017 In June, Canada’s Minister of National Defence Harjit Sajjan announced a 73% increase in military spending, which, if it happens, would take Canada’s military budget to $32.7 billion a year. 1 This is a complete about face from policies under the previous government, which cut Canada’s defense spending (along with other cuts to government spending). 2 Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland said in her speech about Canada’s new foreign policy priorities, “Canadian diplomacy and development sometimes require the backing of hard power.”3 Freeland suggested in discussion with the press that there are “many threats to the liberal international order” and so Canada must be ready to fight wars internationally to protect our values and human rights. 4 Taken together, it appears that a push is being made to increase Canada’s involvement in wars abroad. The logic offered by Minister Freeland for this move is not compelling. A key point from her speech is that the US is no longer interested in being a leader on the world stage and that “Canada’s geography has meant that we have always been able to count on American self- interest to provide a protective umbrella beneath which we have found indirect shelter” but this is for some reason no longer appropriate. There is no good explanation as to why. In fact, the government of the US is seeking to greatly increase its military budget, already by far the biggest in the world. 5 And there is no threat to Canada’s territory or “our values” that hasn’t existed for years.

  • Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, CC

    Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, CC

    Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, CC: Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna Re: Please don’t fund climate change with the Massey Bridge! We the undersigned would like to thank you for making climate change a priority of your new government. We are writing to you today out of concern that some of the federal infrastructure money you have promised may go to a project that jeopardizes the progress Canada is making to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed Massey Bridge in Metro Vancouver is a project straight out of the 1950s. A ten-lane bridge will do nothing to improve traffic congestion, but threaten the Fraser ecosystem and encourage communities south of the river to tear up valuable farmland and build vehicle-dependent sprawl. Imposing a freeway-driven car culture on local communities for the next 100 years does not fit in with the regional growth strategy. Building new freeways when climate change is already impacting BC communities is irresponsible. Adding just one mile of new highway lane increases carbon emissions by 100,000 tonnes over 50 years, according to the Sightline Institute.1 This bridge proposal feeds a continuing dependence on fossil fuels and is at odds with the ambitious climate goals your government committed to in Paris last year. This unnecessary project’s $3.5 billion price tag should be put towards funding public transit. In 2008, the provincial government promised a “RapidBus BC” service to White Rock which would have eased congestion on Highway 99. Instead, transit service through the tunnel has actually been cut.
