Issue The issue of the "press pool mom", which houses The SPECTRUM offices on SSU's campus, has been brought up OF as a campaign issue in the Assembly contest. SPECTRUM OPINION. Ir seems that we had several requests as to what was our locafion on campus, so we arranged with the administration, ~~a~rn~aasm ruith their permission, to use room 11 of the student services building. To identify the room, we placed a sign oa the &or, staring, "this room contains the office of The SPECTRUM-- you ace welcome." Now,, one candidate for the assembly has brought up this issue, claiming Tbe SPECTRUM should not be "allowed office space" at SSU, since 'the paper is profit-oriented, a t*going concern", "being a free enterprise concern, it should not be allowed free space in order to create personal revenues" First of all, the room is the "press pool room". If it is used only by Tbe SPECTRUM, it is because The SPECTRUM is the only press media on campus every day. The theory of a press room in a government building has been proven by usuage and precedeot throughout the state and nation-he City, state, and Capitol buildings all have press rooms for the exclusive use of the working press. These rooms are, in fact, used by some media more than others. We never did claim to be sole proprietors of room 11; it is open to all working press for their use. However, we question whether there is anything evil about 'free enterprise' on campus. Both the bookstore and the can- teen are allowed space on campus; both are for profit; and boh were given permission for their enterprise by the university. In addition, the Journal-Register is selling papers on campus, using 'allowed free space in order to create personal revenues." We feel this attack was a politically-motivated action, calculated to win votes rather than rectify ills. This is probably a part of what one caadidate has called the 'snob- bish appeal of opposition', that is, it is seemingly fashion- able and 'in' oppose anything and everything here at SSU. Which is frightening. We are involved in a great academic experiment here, open minds,are of the greatest necessity. There is nothing which will hurt SSU more &an a rampant negaavism being allowed to dominate the thinking hae. We must have optimism terspered with reason and patience- patience not to reject anything because it does not achieve perfection instantly. Our tendency here at SSU is to measure everythingnot against other items in the field; or against a reasonable standard; but against perfection. In manyarays, SSU measures up well against perfection; but we canmt reject all that is not perfect. We must temper our criticism with reality; and accept much for what it is--pact of a growing, but not yet great university. If we do not keep this perspective, we may never become a truly great university. COMPETITION? WHERE? Well, the SPECTRUM is going to hate a competitor, if we can trust to the word of Todd Domke; Good, we say, we need a measuring stick of sorts, and since most of our critics have been judging us versus perfection or the Journal-. 'Register (paradox of Paradoxes) another .student neswpaper is welcome and even encouraged. We think we can do a' better job, shott of staff or no. Just one problem, where the hdl are/is these/this other newspaper/s? Domke has put up signs apparently criticizing The SPECTRUM and the Journal-register; ok, we're both \open to criticism. let's see the effort of our aiticizas. 1 THE SPECTRUM 1 Wrnber Cdlege Press Service An independent srudenc wi 1 L make space I newspaper published available for pub.

Introduction Canadian politics, like politics in other societies, is a public conflict over different conceptions of the good life. Canadians agree on some important matters (e.g., Canadians are overwhelmingly committed to the rule of law, democracy, equality, individual rights, and respect for minorities) and disagree on others. That Canadians share certain values represents a substantial consensus about how the political system should work. While Canadians generally agree on the rules of the game, they dis- agree—sometimes very strongly—on what laws and policies the government should adopt. Should governments spend more or less? Should taxes be lower or higher? Should governments build more prisons or more hospitals? Should we build more pipelines or fight climate change? Fortunately for students of politics, different conceptions of the good life are not random. The different views on what laws and policies are appropriate to realize the ideologies Specific bundles of good life coalesce into a few distinct groupings of ideas known as ideologies. These ideas about politics and the good ideologies have names that are familiar to you, such as liberalism, conservatism, and life, such as liberalism, conserva- (democratic) socialism, which are the principal ideologies in Canadian politics.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery AMERICAN REVIEW OF CANADIAN STUDIES, VOLUME 46.2 PUBLISHED ON-LINE 6 JUNE 2016 A Quiet Revolution in Diplomacy—Quebec–UK Relations Since 1960 Tony McCulloch University College London Abstract Quebec’s modern international outlook and its current paradiplomacy can be dated largely from the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Since then, the provincial government in Quebec City and the Federal Government in Ottawa have had to tread a fine line in accommodating each other’s constitutional rights in the field of international relations—a line that has occasionally been breached, especially in the years following the Quiet Revolution and in critical periods such as those prior to the 1980 and 1995 referenda. Foreign governments have also had to engage in careful diplomacy in order to avoid upsetting either Ottawa or Quebec City—and this has been especially true in the case of the countries historically most involved with Canada and Quebec—France, the US, and Britain. But whereas there has been some academic writing on Quebec’s relationships with France and the US, very little attention has been devoted to Quebec–UK relations since the Quiet Revolution. This article seeks to fill that gap and argues that the Quebec–UK relationship since the 1960s can itself best be characterized as a “quiet revolution” in diplomacy that has largely avoided the controversies that have sometimes dogged Quebec’s relations with France and the US. Keywords: Quebec; United Kingdom; Quiet Revolution; patriation; monarchy; paradiplomacy Introduction While diplomatic relations between Quebec and the UK can be dated back to before the First World War—the first Quebec legation in London opened in 1908—it was not until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, associated with Jean Lesage and the Quebec Liberal party, that the province began to take full advantage of its international potential.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Pierre Elliott Trudeau's ideas on liberal democracy and political philosophy are relevant to Canadian life. He is a modern liberal democrat with a vision of the 'Good' society - what he terms the Just Society. The values of a Just Society are numerous, but perhaps, the most important are freedom, equality, and tolerance. These values are core to his theory and are often revealed in his battle against nationalism. Trudeau is radically opposed to notions of ethnic nationalism, such as French Canadian and Aboriginal nationalism, but he supports a type of civic nationalism within a federal, pluralistic system.

As a contribution to Canadian political and intel- lectual history, and as a commentary on public engagement by intellectuals, The Teeth of Time is a valuable, and often entertaining, addition to the literature. Matthew Hayday University of Guelph William Tetley, The October Crisis, 1970: An Insider’s View (Montreal & Kingston, McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2007). Before opening the book, my initial reaction was, “Not another book on the 1970 October Crisis!” There is a sense that so much has been written on this tragic event and if someone decides to publish a book on this, he has something new to reveal. Unfortunately this book does not bring a new perspective on this event that cap- tured Canadians’ attention in 1970. Even the author seems to have anticipated my reaction and those of others since he devoted a portion of his introduction to a jus- tification for the publication of another book on the October Crisis. I have to confess that I expected a lot from this book since the author was a member of Premier Robert Bourassa’s cabinet. At that time, he was Minister of Financial Institutions. Although William Tetley warns his readers that his book is “not a work of history … it is a commentary on a particular event …” (XXV), I was disappointed because the book does not contain many new elements that would make this a must read.

  • Great Darkness
    From the “Great Darkness” to the “Quiet Revolution”: Michel Tremblay’s Reinterpretation of the Frontier between the Francophone East and the Anglophone West of Montreal in Some Night My Prince Will Come By Marie-Claude Legault “Throughout my childhood I hadn’t even known that Anglos existed, that Montreal was divided in two, with the east end belonging to us Francophones and the west to the Anglos, that there was a conflict between the two solitudes, as we used to say, a conflict dating back to the Conquest in 1760 and that it was doubtful we’d ever see a way out of it” (26). “For a long time I’d thought it strange that there were two Santas, one, Francophone at Dupuis Frères, the other, Anglophone, at Eaton’s. Every December my mother took me to meet both of them and I asked each one for the same presents, in French, suspecting that the second didn’t understand me” (27). Introduction From 1944 to 1959, the province of Québec lived in an oppressive atmosphere called “période de la grande noirceur.” In this period of cultural, social, and sexual darkness, the Catholic Church controlled the government of Maurice Duplessis and the lives of countless Canadiens Français (the term Québécois was not used yet). Families were encouraged to procreate. Birth control was strictly forbidden. As a result, families of 10, 15, and even 20 children were common. Of course, most of those families were extremely poor and destitute. The Catholic Church also controlled what people could read and what people could watch.
