Three Views of Atlantic Canada's Future
THREE VIEWS OF ATLANTIC CANADA’S FUTURE Three people who have thought a lot about the problems of Atlantic Canada and what to do about them are Brian Crowley, President of the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies, Elizabeth Beale, President of the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council and Wade Locke, professor of economics at Memorial University. Policy Options’ editor William Watson sought their views on the region’s problems and what to do about them in a conference call in the second week of November. Au cours de la deuxième semaine de novembre, le rédacteur en chef d’Options politiques, William Watson, s’est entretenu par téléphone avec trois personnes qui ont longuement étudié les problèmes des provinces atlantiques et les solutions à y apporter, soit Brian Crowley, président du Atlantic Institute for Market Studies, Elizabeth Beale, présidente du Conseil économique des provinces atlantiques, et Wade Locke, professeur d’économique à la Memorial University.

If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
“If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit. -

Beyond Quotas Private Property Solutions to Overfishing
Beyond Quotas Private Property Solutions to Overfishing ELIZABETH BRUBAKER In March 1996, Glen Clark, the premier of British Columbia, pre- dicted that the Fraser River commercial sockeye fishery would be shut down for the year. “It’s pretty clear from the numbers,” he explained, “that it won’t sustain a commercial fishery” (Cernetig 1996a). The warning followed two nearly disastrous years in Brit- ish Columbia’s salmon fishery. In 1994, several million Fraser Riv- er salmon failed to appear at their spawning grounds. The board reviewing their disappearance concluded that fishermen had come within 12 hours of wiping out the province’s most impor- tant sockeye run. “The resource is now, more than ever before, critically endangered,” it warned. “If something like the 1994 sit- uation happens again, the door to disaster will be wide open” (Fraser River Sockeye Public Review Board [FRSPRB] 1995: xii, 12). Academics agreed that a crisis loomed. Biologist Carl Walters cautioned that, in the absence of profound restructuring, the Pa- cific salmon fishery would likely go the way of the Atlantic cod fishery (Walters 1995: 4). The following season again saw salmon shortages. In August 1995, with the returning salmon numbering two-thirds less than pre-season estimates, federal Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin closed the Fraser River sockeye fishery with a grim comment: “As it stands now, we don’t have a fishery. Period. And unless the 151 Fish or Cut Bait! numbers change, we won’t have a fishery in the future” (Damsell 1995). In a news release on November 8, 1995, British Columbia’s fisheries minister, David Zirnhelt, described the year’s salmon returns as “the worst in memory,” noting that harvest volumes had declined 42 percent from recent averages (Valhalla 1996). -
