  • An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
    Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta By Saman Chamanfar A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Saman Chamanfar 2017 Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Saman Chamanfar Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study seeks to explain why partisanship—contrary to what we might expect based on the findings of other studies concerning social policies—is generally not a useful explanatory variable when examining the primary and secondary education policies of three Canadian provinces (Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) during two periods (the 1970s and 1990- 2008). Four specific areas of the education sector of the provinces will be examined: objectives of curricula; spending; ministry relations with school boards; and government policies concerning private and charter schools. Utilizing a qualitative approach and building on the findings of other studies on provincial education systems, it will be argued that in order to understand why the three provinces generally adopted similar policies in both periods, regardless of the differences in the ideologies of governing parties, we need to consider the causal effect of key ideas in both periods. In addition, it will be shown that opposition parties in most instances did not present policies that differed from those of governing parties or criticize the policies of such parties. This will further illustrate the limited usefulness of adopting a partisanship lens when seeking to understand the policy positions of various parties in the provinces concerning the education sector.

  • What Went Wrong with Ontario's Energy
    What went wrong with Ontario’s energy policy? Comparing spin & reality Compiled for CENTRAL BRUCE-GREY WIND CONCERNS ONTARIO By Keith Stelling, MA, (McMaster) MNIMH, Dip. Phyt., MCPP (England) 10 April, 2010 http://windconcernsontario.wordpress.com/ [email protected] Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 4 Background 4 About this report 9 I. Feasibility: Where are the CO2 emission savings? 9 II. Cost/benefit accounting: How much? Who pays? Who knows? 17 III. Job creation: 50,000 new “green” jobs? But how many job losses? 39 Conclusion 56 References 55 2 Executive Summary By referring to the economic experience of those European countries that have vigorously promoted wind energy over the last two decades, this report demonstrates that the decisions of the Ontario government did not take into consideration the reality of introducing large scale industrial wind energy onto the grid. In fact, the government’s enthusiasm to embrace what it claimed to be cheap, “clean”, environmentally benign electricity at the same time as diminishing CO2 emissions appears to have ignored all the realistic information that was available, leaving an energy policy based on little more than a leap of faith. Wind energy is neither cheap nor environmentally benign, as this report will demonstrate. This compilation of recently published information demonstrates that Ontario’s energy policy is seriously flawed. It is based upon assumptions that never have and never will be substantiated in practice. Using European reports, it shows that industrial wind turbine and solar panel complexes do not lower CO2 emissions when added in any quantity to the grid.
