Re-Covenanting and the Apology for the Residential Schools Re-covenanting and the Apology for the Residential Schools by M. Shivaun Corry B.A. (Hons.), Simon Fraser University, 2009 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology M. Shivaun Corry 2012 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2012 Approval Name: M. Shivaun Corry Degree: Master of Arts (Communications) Title of Thesis: Re-covenanting and the Apology for the Residential Schools Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Frederik Lesage Assistant Professor Dr. Gary McCarron Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Dr. Brook Pearson Supervisor Lecturer Dr. Stuart Poyntz Internal Examiner Associate Professor Date Defended/Approved: December 14, 2012 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract This thesis analyses Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Apology for the Indian Residential School System and its media coverage as a process of re-covenanting. The author demonstrates that, by splitting the totem of the identity of Canada into a sinning chapter and an essential national character, members of the totem domain were able to sacrifice the totem of Canada, which had been polluted through violations of the beliefs in equality and human rights in the residential school system though the symbolic sacrifice of the leader and representative of the people, the Prime Minister. After sacrificing the totem of the sinning nation through the humiliation of the confession of sin and apology, the totem was regenerated to its unpolluted, ideal state. This apology process constitutes a narrative of re-covenanting in line with Abrahamic and more universal religious structures, reaffirming our commitment to the values of the apology. iv Dedication To those who forgive. v Acknowledgements I would like express my deepest gratitude to my senior supervisor, Dr. Gary McCarron, who inspired me to join the communications department and for his hard work and patience.

  • National Aboriginal Awareness Week Booklet
    National Aboriginal Awareness Week 2016 May 19–22 Aboriginal Awareness This week of celebration is an opportunity for all Canadians, especially young people and educators, who have the opportunity to create a Shared Teachings/Learnings environment to learn more about Aboriginal cultural heritages of Canada. By sharing our knowledge and experience, there will be greater understanding and harmony among all Canadians. In recognition of the many aboriginal cultures and experiential difference that exist among the BC and Canadian aboriginals, the Shared Teachings/Learnings suggested in this booklet are intended to highlight Aboriginal peoples, events, places, issues and realities that are statement of knowledge about Aboriginal peoples’ cultures, values, beliefs, traditions, history and languages. Source(s) Shared Learning: Integrating BC Aboriginal Content K–10 Did you know? Did you know that some of BC’s towns or cities have names that come from aboriginal sources. Find out what the following names mean and from which language the words come from. Match the names with the description. Chilliwack The name comes from an Okanagan word meaning “the always place”, in the sense of a permanent dwelling place. Coquitlam Is the name of the local tribe, ch.ihl-KWAY-uhk. This word is generally interpreted to mean “going back up”. Kamloops Is likely from the Salish tribal name which is translated as “small red salmon”. The name refers to the sockeye salmon common to the area. Suggestion: Make up your own matching work list or create a word search, etc. Place names reveal Aboriginal peoples’ contributions: Place names are never just meaningless sounds.

  • Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders
    Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders By Justin F. Smith Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Justin F. Smith, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ABSTRACT Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders Justin Smith Supervisor: University of Ottawa Heather Murray The contemporary conflation of pedophiles and child sex offenders is a prevalent aspect of reporting in news and social media, as well as in government- sponsored efforts to prevent child sexual victimization. Throughout twentieth century Canada, however, legal experts, psychologists and psychiatrists, and social activists were recognizing the harmfulness of grouping individuals who may have a propensity to commit crime with those who have committed the most heinous of criminal acts. As early as 1938, Canadian legal experts suggested that criminal insanity was a myth, advocating for a divergence between legal punishment and psychiatric healthcare, but after World War 2 had enacted serious efforts targeting criminal sexual psychopathy. Successive Royal Commissions investigating sexual victimization and child abuse revealed that Canadian courts, jails, prisons, and remand services were unable to solely deal with the realities of child sexual victimization. Psychologists and psychiatrists of the American Psychological Association increasingly researched sex and sexuality, classifying pedophilia as a paraphilia using child sexual victimization as a diagnostic indicator and criterion. Gay liberation activists discussed inequalities posed between hetero- and homosexual ages of consent and, more rarely, thought about the total abolition of age of consent.

  • The NDP's Approach to Constitutional Issues Has Not Been Electorally
    Constitutional Confusion on the Left: The NDP’s Position in Canada’s Constitutional Debates Murray Cooke [email protected] First Draft: Please do not cite without permission. Comments welcome. Paper prepared for the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, June 2004, Winnipeg The federal New Democratic Party experienced a dramatic electoral decline in the 1990s from which it has not yet recovered. Along with difficulties managing provincial economies, the NDP was wounded by Canada’s constitutional debates. The NDP has historically struggled to present a distinctive social democratic approach to Canada’s constitution. Like its forerunner, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the NDP has supported a liberal, (English-Canadian) nation-building approach that fits comfortably within the mainstream of Canadian political thought. At the same time, the party has prioritized economic and social polices rather than seriously addressing issues such as the deepening of democracy or the recognition of national or regional identities. Travelling without a roadmap, the constitutional debates of the 80s and 90s proved to be a veritable minefield for the NDP. Through three rounds of mega- constitutional debate (1980-82, 1987-1990, 1991-1992), the federal party leadership supported the constitutional priorities of the federal government of the day, only to be torn by disagreements from within. This paper will argue that the NDP’s division, lack of direction and confusion over constitution issues can be traced back to longstanding weaknesses in the party’s social democratic theory and strategy. First of all, the CCF- NDP embraced rather than challenged the parameters and institutions of liberal democracy.

  • What Would the Incise Index Say About Canada Now?
    Optimumonline.ca vol. 49, no. 1 (spring 2019) Integrity as a Required Element of Civil Service Effectiveness – What would the InCiSE Index Say About Canada Now? Ian Peach The International Civil Service Effectiveness (InCiSE) Index is a project of the Blavatnik School of Government and the Institute for Government in the United Kingdom.1 It was designed to analyse the effectiveness of participating countries’ central government civil services because, as the partners explain, “An effective civil service plays an important role in driving forward a country’s progress and prosperity. An ineffective one can act as a brake on these things.”2 The analysis is based on both the “core functions” of governments (the “what” of governing), with the effectiveness of governments in delivering 11 core functions analysed, and the “attributes” of government (the “how” of governing), with six key attributes of good government, which affect the quality of the delivery of core functions, analysed.3 As it is described in the 2017 InCiSE report, “Every civil service has an underlying set of behavioural characteristics or traits which are important drivers of how effectively core functions are delivered, for example levels of openness, integrity and inclusiveness. … Cultivating and displaying these attributes is commonly … understood to be good practice. They are also key determinants of an organisation’s overall effectiveness.”4 One of the six key attributes analysed was “integrity”, which was defined by six themes: corruption level perceptions; adherence to rules and procedures; work ethics; fairness and impartiality; striving to serve citizens and ministers; and processes in place to preserve integrity and prevent conflicts of interest.5 The first InCiSE Index, released in June 2017, ranked Canada’s federal public service as top overall; Canada was also rated fourth in the integrity index, after New Zealand, Sweden and Norway.6 Since then, however, serious questions about the independence and integrity of Canada’s federal public service have arisen.
