Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: the Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League
Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: The Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League by John Valentine A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 John Valentine ii Abstract In 1974, Canada’s Liberal minority government acted to protect the Canadian Football League (CFL) from competition by introducing Bill C-22, which promised harsh penalties for anyone operating a football franchise connected to a foreign-based league or team. This legislation was the culmination of a series of measures by which the government had protected the CFL in the early 1960s and 1970s. A number of factors combined to prompt government involvement. From its earliest days, Canadian football was a nationalist concern. The desire to create a distinctly Canadian pastime led early organizers to differentiate it from English rugby and American football by developing and defending distinctive rules for the game. Football associations developed as domestic rather than cross-border organizations, fostering a congruence of the national territory and the Canadian version of the game. The organizational structure of Canadian football reinforced the east-west axis of transcontinental transportation and communications infrastructure fostered by the state since Confederation. Team and regional rivalries became a staple of print and radio news and commentary, integrating football into the national discourse. Following the Second World War, the identification of Canadian football with the Canadian nation intensified as televised games provided fans with more shared experiences of the only Canadian sports league. -

ATTEMPTING CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Gordon HA
HEADING OFF BILODEAU: ATTEMPTING CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Gordon H.A. Mackintosh* Never has litigation been as disruptive in Manitoba as it was during Bilodeau y. Attorney-General of Manitoba1and the related Manitoba Lan- guage Reference.2 The legal turmoil created by these cases is discussed elsewhere in this volume. This article deals with the intense political con- troversy that the litigation generated in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. The matter came to the fore in 1983 when Premier Howard Pawley's N.D.P. government proposed amendments to the French language guar- antees in the province's constitution to prevent the Bilodeau case from proceeding to a hearing by the Supreme Court of Canada. The legislative scene became increasingly bitter, divisive and exciting until February 27, 1984, when, unique to Commonwealth experience, the government called the Lieutenant-Governor to prorogue the House while the division bells, rung to summon members to vote on the first phase of the proposai, were 1986 CanLIIDocs 160 still ringing. Opposition members had refused to return to the chamber in response to the bells, and government attempts to persuade the Speaker to proceed in the absence of the opposition had been unsuccessful. The gov- ernment finally conceded that the only way to break the impasse was to abandon the proposed amendments and allow the litigation to proceed. This brought an end to the longest session in the history of the provincial legislature. An attempt is made here to offer a fair representation of this contro- versial event in hope of providing not only an insight into the legal concerns and politics of language and constitutional change in a Canadian province, but also an opportunity to re-examine the conventional roles of government, opposition and the speakership in the parliamentary system.
