  • 'Solidarity Wave' on Canadian An
    ‘It’s Our Patriotic Duty to Help Them’: the Socio-Cultural and Economic Impact of the ‘Solidarity wave’ on Canadian and Polish- Canadian Society in the Early 1980s Michal Mlynarz, University of Alberta 56 | This paper examines the economic, social, and cultural impact made on Canadian and Polish-Canadian society as a result of the mass influx of refugees from the People’s Republic of Poland to Canada in the early to mid 1980s. Although a brief overview and examination of Polish immigration history to Canada over the last few centuries is provided, the paper focuses upon the significant effect caused by the arrival of a new wave of Polish immigrants, largely consisting of highly educated and politically vocal individuals, into the country. The paper argues that this period constituted a significant turning point in Polish-Canadian history. Throughout this period, Polish communities across the country organized and rallied around the plight of the refugees and their ancestral homeland in an unprecedented fashion, supporting them through a wide variety of means, including the mass organization of protests, food and medicine drives, and sponsorship schemes to bring in as many people as possible. Mainstream Canadian society was also made more aware of and became more involved in the issue, with both politicians and average citizens nation-wide lending their support to the cause. As a result of the unique socio-cultural nature of the refugees, the great level of support displayed by Polish-Canadians, and the significant level of sympathy and

  • Neoliberal Heritage Redress at a Time When Global Financial Regulation and the Partial Nationalization of Industries Are Mainstr
    Matt James Neoliberal Heritage Redress At a time when global financial regulation and the partial nationalization of industries are mainstream items of political discussion, using the word “neoliberal” in a chapter title suddenly feels anachronistic. Discussing the topic fifteen years after the appearance of pioneering works such as political scientist Stephen Gill’s “Disciplinary Neoliberalism” might seem superfluous in any event.1 Yet when it comes to the subject of this collection and chapter, Canadian redress politics and the broader arena of diversity politics in which it is situated, it remains illuminating to speak of neoliberalism in the present tense: or, at least, so this chapter will argue. The chapter proceeds as follows. Stressing neoliberalism’s concern to remake the conditions under which organized groups communicate with government and society, I outline how this concern has reshaped Canadian multiculturalism. Although astute criticisms of Canada’s multiculturalism policy abound, the policy’s importance for groups challenging the terms of belonging within the Canadian settler society ought equally to be noted; this role has made multiculturalism a particularly important target of neoliberal change in this 2 country.2 While the profile of Canadian multiculturalism has diminished in recent years, the debates around coming to terms with historical injustice have not. In the remainder of the essay, I show how the characteristic tactics and tools of a neoliberalized multiculturalism have latterly been transported and applied
