  • 1. Justice Canada's Response to a Request for Information Made by The
    1. Justice Canada’s response to a request for information made by the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs on March 28, 2018 Question: Senator Batters: Minister, to try to justify pushing through your marijuana legalization bill — not decriminalization, but legalization — the Trudeau government has perpetuated a narrative which now appears to be inaccurate. On June 6, 2017, you said in the House of Commons: Canada has the highest number of young people smoking cannabis. Also on that day, you said: The reality is that, right now, Canada has the highest rates of young people using cannabis . On April 12, 2017, Prime Minister Trudeau said: There is higher per capita use by under-age Canadians than kids in any other country. And on December 17, 2017, the Prime Minister said: Right now, Canada has the highest use of marijuana by underage people in the developed world. This narrative went unchallenged until recently when Conservative senators pushed back. We learned that claims were based on a 2013 UNICEF report which attributed its data to an unnamed 2008 report from your own department, the Department of Justice. But your department confirmed that they had no such data and Statistics Canada said the same thing: no such data. As well, the UNICEF stats are contradicted by numerous other studies which show a steady decline in youth usage over the last decade in Canada, while marijuana remains illegal. So, in fact, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ranks Canada sixth, not worst. Given this, minister, will you now agree that the Trudeau government’s push to legalize marijuana was predicated on a false, underlying narrative — a narrative which you have recently started to soften?

Approval Name: Neubauer, Robert Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Gateway to Crisis: Discourse Coalitions, Extractivist Politics, and the Northern Gateway Conflict Examining Committee: Chair: Robert Hackett Professor Shane Gunster Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Rick Gruneau Supervisor Professor Yuezhi Zhao Supervisor Professor Geoffrey Mann Internal Examiner Professor Department of Geography William Carroll External Examiner Professor Department of Sociology University of Victoria Date Defended/Approved: May 24, 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the political and social conflict over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and tanker project designed to diversify Canadian bitumen exports by linking the Alberta tar sands to international markets via British Columbia’s North Coast. It examines this conflict in the context of long-term processes of capitalist growth, Neoliberal Extractivist development, settler colonial expansion, and transnational economic integration. It explains how both the project itself and the political response to it emerged from and helped constitute a series of interrelated national and global economic, political, and ecological crises. In doing so, it identifies extractivist development in Canada as an extension of the broader Neoliberal class project.
