As Aboriginal Affairs critic for the NDP, I have been proud to listen alongside our Leader, Tom Mulcair and our Northern Affairs critic, Dennis Bevington to Yukon First Nations and Yukoners. Together, we brought the messages from Yukon to Parliament. S-6 cannot be supported. We have been clear; First Nations deserve a federal government that will work, nation-to- nation, and respect the work of Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act. Ottawa should not be dictating to First Nations and Yukoners. As Official Opposition, we made every effort to make sure that Yukon voices were being heard loud and clear throughout the process. In Ottawa, our Leader Tom Mulcair hosted Yukon First Nations to hear concerns first hand. In Ottawa and Whitehorse, we met with Yukon First Nations, Yukon leaders, members of the legislature, members of community and environmental organizations, members of industry and Yukoners who were part of putting together YESAA. The messages we heard guided our opposition in Parliament.

Liber [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7863-3906 © Alex C. Liber 2020 Dedication For Lindsey and Sophia. 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.

  • NDP Response Rural Ontario Priorities
    Rural Ontario Institute 1. Access to quality medical services nearby is a long-standing concern for rural and small town. Ontarians typically some distance from urban facilities and services. What is your party’s platform with respect to the accessibility of health care and quality medical services near to rural and small town residents? Is the current situation satisfactory? How would your party’s approach to a Health Accord and/or the Canadian Health Transfer improve things for rural Ontarians? NDP Response: After eight years in government, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have failed to improve public health care. This is simply unacceptable. New Democrats have a practical plan to strengthen public health care, all Canadians deserve the best quality care, regardless of where they live. Tom Mulcair is committed to better home care, long-term care, palliative care and expanded public coverage for prescription drugs. We’ll put patients at the centre of primary care, and tackle the social determinants of health while recognizing the importance of mental health. These initiatives will benefit all Canadians—including rural and small town residents. 2. Rural and small town Ontario has an older demographic than urban places making services for an aging population, aging in place/home-care/seniors housing a priority for many. Does your party have a proposed policy agenda that it would implement relevant to a rural/small town context? NDP Response: Over the next 25 years, the number of seniors in Canada will double. We need to be ready. But instead of taking action, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives raised the age of eligibility for OAS and GIS from 65 to 67.

  • Levy-Canadian Elections-ENG.INDD
    Holding Pattern The 2019 Canadian Election By Andrea Levy In the parlance of the horse-race terminology favoured by election commentators, the 2019 Cana- dian Elections were a squeaker, or too close to call up until the last minute. Yet given the living fossil of Anglo-American representative democracy that is Canada’s winner-take-all electoral system, the outcome of the 2019 election held few real surprises. There was little doubt that it would be either the incumbent Liberal Party or the opposition Conservative Party which would walk away from elec- tion night victorious, if chastened, perhaps, by minority status. The French have a word for it: alter- nance, two parties governing by turns in a protracted holding pattern. And the periodic alternation of the Liberals and the Conservatives, both parties of capital whose concrete policies have diverged chiefly in the details, has characterized Canadian politics virtually since Confederation. The perpetuation of this holding pattern can only exacerbate the country’s many afflictions and con- tradictions: from spiralling inequality of income and wealth to an economy embedded in extractiv- ism; from the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous peoples to the catastrophe of climate change, with recent research revealing that Canada is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. With a turnout just shy of 65 percent, the 21st century pattern of voter disaffection held steady. When a third of the electorate stays home, even a majority government cannot claim a strong popular mandate. In this election, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party was re-elected with thirteen seats short of a majority, and roughly a third of the ballots cast by those who were motivated enough to go to the polls (a share of the popular vote that was actually a notch lower than that of the rival Conserva- tives).
