  • Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario
    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy.

  • CSA Gets Meeting with Minister of Education Lord Mayor and Members of CSA Will Sit Down with Minister at AMO Conference in Ottawa
    CSA gets meeting with Minister of Education Lord Mayor and members of CSA will sit down with Minister at AMO conference in Ottawa Melinda Cheevers, Niagara-on-the-Lake Aug 14, 2009 The Lord Mayor and other members of the Community Schools Alliance will get their meeting with the Minister of Education, Kathleen Wynne. The meeting will happen next week during the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in Ottawa. Gary Burroughs and other members of the Community Schools Alliance (CSA) will be asking the minister to put a smart moratorium on disputed school closures in Ontario, including Niagara District Secondary School (NDSS). Burroughs said the meeting will be partially about NDSS, but mostly about what is happening to schools all across Ontario. “There are many schools that are facing closure because of declining enrolment,” he said. “And there are some schools closing where there’s no dispute, but for those schools where there is a disagreement about whether it should be closed, there needs to be an appeal process for the people in the community.” Burroughs said the smart moratorium the CSA is calling for will put a hold on any school closures that are in dispute until something can be worked out where communities and school boards agree. He also said the smart moratorium isn’t a delay tactic. “It’s just putting things on hold until the communities have a better relationship with their school boards,” he said. “It’s not indefinite, it’s only until we work with the government to do what is best for our communities and our children.” Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor said the proposal put forward by the CSA has merits to it.

  • Whips and Party Cohesion in the Ontario Legislature
    ‘Just try to keep them happy’: Whips and party cohesion in the Ontario Legislature By Craig Ruttan 2011-12 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A2 Phone: 416-325-0040 [email protected] www.olipinterns.ca DRAFT: Do not cite without permission of the author. Paper presented at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Edmonton, Alberta. Friday June 15, 2012. 1 Introduction Among the various leadership roles within a party caucus, few are less well understood than that of the whip. Party whips are often unknown in the public, rarely sit in their party’s front bench, and are seldom quoted in the media. In addition, very little academic literature exists on the roles and functions of the office. When discussion of a whip does arise, it is usually about the imposition of sanctions on another member for disobeying a whipped vote. Because of this, whips are perceived as the secret enforcers of party discipline, threatening and bullying members into following the party line. While maintaining party cohesion is a prime objective for whips, the role is much more complex than has been presented. This paper explores the dynamics of the whip within the broader context of party politics in the Ontario Legislature. Drawing on the existing literature, personal interviews, and experiential research, I identify the characteristics of the whip’s office unique to Queen’s Park and, more specifically, the current parliament wherein no party holds a majority of seats. This paper focuses on two questions: how a whip’s role is affected by organizational structures and minority government, and to what extent whips are able to maintain party cohesion.
