After ali, this is a govemment whose Minister of Community and Social Services, Janet Ecker, defends the constriction of welfare regdations set out in Bill 142 as a necessary measure to ensure that certain groups of people, namely tourists and inmates, do not apply for welfm (Armstrong, The Toronto Slcrr. October 2, 1997: A3). The former Minister of the same portfolio, David Tsubouchi, responded to the public outcry over the 21.6% slash to welfare rates with the advice that those suffering ftom welfare cuts should buy food in bulk, shop for reduced-price dented casand negotiate food prices with grocery store owners @are in Rdph et al. 1997: 21). Mike Harris hirnself supported comments by one of bis ministers who said that those who cannot aord licenseâ day care couid get informai care from "neighbours, relatives and other sitters" (Canadian Press Newswire Sept. 19, 1995). These are patronieing comments which signal this govemwnt's disinterest in discussing social spending in public policy terxns. For the Harris govemment, social spending is a strictly political issue. This governent is intent on keeing the provincial state hmthe responsibility of defending social justice and providing social welfan. In one sense, the blatantiy political chafacter of the Hams govemment's decidedly clear-cut agenda is simpiistic due to its dearth of negotiable material; one ne& not sift tbrough policy papes to àecipher this govemment's plans. And yet, the Harris government' s politics is evasive; it disassociates words fiom intent with such temerity ihai the power to nason, to negotiate, to argue a political position, is stoien hmits cntics. In short, the Harris govenunent is practicing a politics of ideology, a politics that is transforming the very language of 'politics' in Ontario. This thesis aaalyzes the particular way the Harris govenunent's politics is operating ideologically and explores the challenges ihis C politics raises for the women's movement Exploring the effects of the Harris govemment on the politics of the women's movement is inspired by the foIiowing question: How does a movement whose core has grown and thrived on social, political and economic gains achieved through the formai politicai pathways of 'the state' continue to have faith in the institutions of govemment when the form, content and qualities of these institutions are being transformed in a manner that is antithetical to the movement's own goais and values? Put diffenntly, if an essentiai contingent of the women's movement stands for social change secured through the mechanisms of 'the state', what mechanisms of state power does the women's movement in Ontario now hop to harness in the name of social prognss and how? In chapter one, culturai theorist Stuart Hall's defuiitioas of ideology and hegemony are employed to argue that the central challenge the women's movement confronts under the Harris govemment is ideological. It is argued that the women's movement is cumntiy threatened by a double-edged mythology - the mythology of neo-liberalism that negiects gender in its crude . economic formula and the mythology of a form of conservativism that identifies women as the caretaicers of the family and the now-ovefflowing basket of social issues that were oniy receutly the responsibiiity of the state. Hali's particdm interpretation of ideology and hegemony is esseatid to the logic of this argument. His theoretical insightp into the practice of ideology help to explain why studying the ideological repertoire of the Harris govemment and not simply recording this govemment's dismantling of social structures is cntical to strategies of resistance and change. The second chapter of this thesis is based on inte~ewswith activists who idenify themselves with the Ontario women's movement. They were consulted specincaiiy for their interpretations of the Harris govemment's politics and for their ideas about political resistance and change under Th wordr ne~~~~~l~efYativismand nco-UbenlUm sic seldom defincd and arc, in fact, 0themployed intcrchangcably. For the purpose ofthis sntdy, th& meanings arc taken fiom Stuart Han's TAc Hanf Rdto Reruwtzi: ~che~Md the Crisis ofk Lcft (1988). Sce the discoagion on page 23 of tbis chapttr. this govemment. The sample of women was selected to reflect a range of political identities and interests but does not presume to speak for the diversity of the women's movement as a whole. Each hterviewee was given the opportunity to review ber commeats in the context of this work aad to suggest revisions. The decision to conduct interviews refiects a centrai goal of this thesis: to challenge the practices of the women's movement with the insights of contemporary political theory and, in turn, to challenge political theory with the contemporary experiences of fe&st activism in Ontario. The final chapter of this thesis revisits Stuart Haii's theory of ideology both mon broadly and intimately in order to refme the meaaing of a hegemonic politics and to suggest what a counter- hegemonic politics for Ontario's women's movement might look like. The women's movement and the ideological politics of the Harris goverrunent The Women's Movement 'The women's movement" is a convenient umbrella phrase which covers any and ali organizations dedicated to improving the social, economic and political status of women. Of course what is meant by "improving" is contentious. The women's movement is not a single organized effort; it is many. In FeminLrt Organizing for Change, Nancy Adamson et al. distinguish a movement fiom an organization in the following manner: A movement ...has an amorphws or fluid organizational quality ; episodically, a more stable form might emerge. What holds a . movement together is more ideological in nature than what is necessary to sustain an organization (1988: 230). The character and substance of a movement, then, is mutable. And, what unifies the people and organizations who see themseLves as part of a movement is a distant goal, larger and more abstract than the mandates they work within and towards fiom day to day. The women's movement is imagineci in such a way when it is appiied as iui umbrda phrase in the discussion that foiiows.2 It shouid k notai that the women's movement studicd hmdoes not indude collscNlitive woma's groups like the mti-abortionist REAL women.

  • Harris Disorder’ and How Women Tried to Cure It
    Advocating for Advocacy: The ‘Harris Disorder’ and how women tried to cure it The following article was originally commissioned by Action Ontarienne contre la violence faite aux femmes as a context piece in training material for transitional support workers. While it outlines the roots of the provincial transitional housing and support program for women who experience violence, the context largely details the struggle to sustain women’s anti-violence advocacy in Ontario under the Harris regime and the impacts of that government’s policy on advocacy work to end violence against women. By Eileen Morrow Political and Economic Context The roots of the Transitional Housing and Support Program began over 15 years ago. At that time, political and economic shifts played an important role in determining how governments approached social programs, including supports for women experiencing violence. Shifts at both the federal and provincial levels affected women’s services and women’s lives. In 1994, the federal government began to consider social policy shifts reflecting neoliberal economic thinking that had been embraced by capitalist powers around the world. Neoliberal economic theory supports smaller government (including cuts to public services), balanced budgets and government debt reduction, tax cuts, less government regulation, privatization of public services, individual responsibility and unfettered business markets. Forces created by neoliberal economics—including the current worldwide economic crisis—still determine how government operates in Canada. A world economic shift may not at first seem connected to a small program for women in Ontario, but it affected the way the Transitional Housing and Support Program began. Federal government shifts By 1995, the Liberal government in Ottawa was ready to act on the neoliberal shift with policy decisions.

  • David Tsubouchi to Head Ontario College of Trades Former Cabinet Minister Appointed CEO of Self-Regulatory Body Overseeing the Skilled Trades in Ontario
    APPOINTMENT ANNOUNCEMENT David Tsubouchi to head Ontario College of Trades Former cabinet minister appointed CEO of self-regulatory body overseeing the skilled trades in Ontario August 21, 2013 – Ron Johnson, Chair of the Board of Governors of the Ontario College of Trades, the first self-regulating professional body to oversee the training, qualification and conduct of skilled tradespeople in the world, today announced the appointment of lawyer, businessman and former Ontario cabinet minister David Tsubouchi to the position of Registrar and CEO, effective September 9, 2013. Tsubouchi replaces outgoing College Registrar and CEO Bob Guthrie, who has announced his decision to retire. “David Tsubouchi brings a unique balance of both public- and private-sector experience, as well as an understanding of how professional self-regulation, rather than direct government control, is better for tradespeople, for industry and for the public,” said Johnson. “He has the vision and know-how to ensure the College of Trades continues the crucial work our members and stakeholders have begun to ensure Ontario continues to build a workforce capable of meeting our economic needs well into the future.” Tsubouchi, who served as the Progressive Conservative MPP for Markham from 1995 until 2003, held a number of high-level cabinet posts in the Ontario government under premiers Mike Harris and Ernie Eves. He was Minister of Community and Social Services (1995 to 1996), Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations (1996 to 1999), Solicitor General of Ontario (1999 to 2001), Chair of the Management Board of Cabinet (2001 to 2003) and Minister of Culture (2002 to 2003).

  • Days of Action: Ontario's Extra-Parliamentary Opposition To
    Days of Action: Ontario's extra-parliamentary opposition to the Common Sense Revolution, 1995-1998 By Douglas James Nesbitt A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May, 2018 Copyright ã Douglas James Nesbitt, 2018 Abstract From 1995 to 1998, Ontario was the site of a sustained political and industrial conflict between the provincial government of Premier Mike Harris and a loosely- coordinated protest movement of labour unions, community organizations, and activist groups. The struggle was aimed at the defeating the “Common Sense Revolution,” a sweeping neoliberal program advanced by the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. The program designed to renovate the state, rationalize the social safety net, repeal barriers to capital accumulation, and decisively weaken the strength of organized labour. What became a union-led extra-parliamentary opposition drew in large sections of the population often aligned with a political culture of statist collectivism encompassing both social democracy and “Red Toryism”. The movement emerged at a time when the two major parties aligned with such ideas embraced neoliberal policies. Under the leadership of Mike Harris, the Red Tories were pushed out of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives in the early 1990s. Meanwhile, the one-term New Democratic government of 1990-95 made a decisive turn towards neoliberal austerity amidst a catastrophic recession, declining federal transfers, and employer hostility. Through the union-led “Days of Action” of large political strikes, mass demonstrations, and numerous militant protests, the implementation of the Common Sense Revolution was slowed and weakened and the government’s popularity greatly diminished.

  • GOVERNMENT RELATIONS in the POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION SECTOR in ONTARIO by Peter P. Constantinou a Thesis Submitted in Conformity
    GOVERNMENT RELATIONS IN THE POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION SECTOR IN ONTARIO by Peter P. Constantinou A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies University of Toronto ©Copyright by Peter P. Constantinou, 2010 ii GOVERNMENT RELATIONS IN THE POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION SECTOR IN ONTARIO Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Peter P. Constantinou Department of Theory and Policy Studies University of Toronto Abstract There has been little research on the government relations function within the post- secondary education sector in Ontario. This study explores this topic by reviewing the literature and collecting data from key informants in the college, university and government sector, and those who can speak about the sector associations. The study describes how the leaders of colleges and universities in Ontario perceive and conduct government relations, both as individual institutions and as a sector, and analyzes trends and potential implications. The study utilizes a pluralist model of interest group behaviour and applied the hollow-core theory to the policy community and the findings provide compelling evidence that this theory is a useful theoretical framework for understanding the nature of this policy community. This study also provides valuable insight into the hollow-core theory of pluralism. The leadership of individual colleges and universities shares a similar understanding of government relations and engage a similar approach. Individual colleges and universities work independently to lobby for capital funding and work together through their respective associations to lobby for system-wide funding and reforms. Although the presidents of individual institutions continue to lead the government relations function, the trend in the post-secondary education sector in Ontario is to invest additional resources and time in these activities.
