  • 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.

  • Readers Say Marijuana Growing Concern
    --> Bob Aaron [email protected] July 30, 2005 Readers say marijuana growing concern Judging from the flood of emails and faxes I received following my July 9, 2005 Title Page column ("Grow house disclosure is critical," archived at http://aaron.ca/columns/2005-07-09.htm), it seems that the issue of disclosure of grow house operations on police web sites and in agreements of purchase and sale is quite a hot topic among real estate stakeholders. I suggested in the column that the Toronto police should list known grow house locations on their web site. I also suggested that a warranty clause that a property has never been used as a grow operation become part of the standard form used for Ontario house purchases. I pointed out that police websites in Winnipeg and London, Ont., list locations where search warrants have led to the seizure of marijuana plants. Along the lines of my suggestions, back in March, Cambridge MPP Gerry Martiniuk introduced a private member's bill at Queen's Park. Bill 181, the Protection Against Illicit Grow Houses Act, 2005, would require a vendor to reveal in any agreement of purchase and sale if the building or structure has been used to grow any illicit drugs. Peter Boesener, of Top to Bottom Inspections in Brampton, emailed to say that he has seen his share of grow houses. One house he inspected recently had been totally cleaned up and the local police wouldn't reveal anything about its history. After the new owners moved in, they discovered it had been a grow house and busted by the police several months earlier.

  • The Limits of Compassion and Risk Management in Toronto School Safety from 1999-2007
    ‘Don’t Under React’: The Limits of Compassion and Risk Management in Toronto School Safety from 1999-2007 by Zachary P. Levinsky A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Zachary P. Levinsky 2020 ‘Don’t Under React: The Limits of Compassion and Risk Management in Toronto Schools Safety 1999-2007 Zachary P. Levinsky Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies University of Toronto 2020 Abstract The purpose of this dissertation is to situate school safety policies within the emergence of organizational risk management. I argue that the turn to a risk management of everything re-shapes safety and discipline in the school system. Concomitantly, the compassionate and pastoral aspects of schooling re-shapes risk management. This is important because risk management and school discipline practices are often described as cold exclusionary turns whereas my research shows that the inclusionary pull and dream of mandatory education, if never fully realized, impacts how risk management is achieved in the school system. The main question addressed by this dissertation is how does the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) manage risk to students, educators and its reputation by looking at three distinct areas: 1) the disappearance of zero-tolerance policies; 2) the role of the centralized Safe Schools Office in handling student discipline; and 3) the organizational responses to school shooters via lockdown and threat assessments. As part of this turn to risk management, institutions are becoming insular to external research so I had to rely on creativity to collect data.

Christopher Twardawa Electoral System Solution ii TwardawaModel.org CTESS.ca About CTESS The Christopher Twardawa Electoral System Solution (CTESS) is the creation of its author – Christopher Twardawa and is designed to provide a better electoral system than what Canada and its provinces now have. With the belief that the current system is good but requires improvements, CTESS strengthens it by identifying deficiencies and proposing innovations. Unlike any other electoral system currently in use and which all have tradeoffs, CTESS has no tradeoffs and therefore eliminates the need to change electoral systems as a whole. Christopher first started thinking about this after the 1993 Canadian federal elections, since the results of those elections appeared to him to be inconsistent with how the voters voted. Ten years later in 2003, while still in university, he came up with the current model (the Twardawa Model) which is a simple yet considerate and sophisticated model. It can be applied to any democratic state under the Westminster model of government and similar systems.
