Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties
Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties by Anju Gill B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2012 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Political Science Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Anju Gill 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2017 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Anju Gill Degree: Master of Arts Title: Discerning Claim Making: Political Representation of Indo-Canadians by Canadian Political Parties Examining Committee: Chair: Tsuyoshi Kawasaki Associate Professor Eline de Rooij Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor Mark Pickup Supervisor Associate Professor Genevieve Fuji Johnson Internal/External Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: September 21, 2017 ii Abstract The targeting of people of colour by political parties during election campaigns is often described in the media as “wooing” or “courting.” How parties engage or “woo” non- whites is not fully understood. Theories on representation provide a framework for the systematic analysis of the types of representation claims made by political actors. I expand on the political proximity approach—which suggests that public office seekers make more substantive than symbolic claims to their partisans than to non-aligned voters—by arguing that Canadian political parties view mainstream voters as their typical constituents and visible minorities, such as Indo-Canadians, as peripheral constituents. Consequently, campaign messages targeted at mainstream voters include more substantive claims than messages targeted at non-white voters. -

A Tribute to Linda Duncan, M.P
1 December 8, 2019 A Tribute to Linda Duncan By Douglas Roche Edmonton-Strathcona is a rampart of democracy in Alberta whose safety the voters have wisely entrusted to Heather McPherson, who succeeds a parliamentarian who courageously held the banner high, Linda Duncan. We are here tonight to celebrate a changing of the guard — from Linda to Heather. This changing of the guard has an importance far greater than an election victory in one constituency. In many parts of the world, democracy is trampled on and authoritarianism denies people the right to freely choose their political leaders. It is certainly not safe in many countries to work and organize for social justice. So let us not forget the precious value of freedom we have in Canada where we go to the election polls in security and peace. We are celebrating the changing of the guard in Edmonton-Strathcona, a small area in the vastness of Canada. But in a larger sense we are celebrating the strengths of all Canada. We — here tonight — are Canada with all its history, diversity and unity. We are greater than the mere boundaries of a constituency, we rise above provincialism, we accept the challenges of the modern world. Edmonton-Strathcona knows it belongs not just to the Whyte Avenue surroundings but to the planet, and has responsibilities to humanity and the protection of the environment that sustains all life. Who knows this better than Linda Duncan. When Governor General Julie Payette said in the Throne speech a few days ago: “Canada’s children and grandchildren will judge this generation by its action – or inaction – on the defining challenge of the time: climate change,” those words could have been written by Linda. -
The Messenger Matters: Race, Party, and the Perception Of
THE MESSENGER MATTERS: RACE, PARTY, AND THE PERCEPTION OF CANDIDATES BY WHITE AND NON-WHITE VOTERS by CHASE B. MEYER (Under the Direction of Ryan Bakker) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the impact that race has on voter’s support for different candidates and political parties, as well as their perceptions of the different candidates and parties. This dissertation attempts to answer if the race of the candidate running for office impact’s how voters of different races perceive the candidate and vote for the candidate/the candidate’s party. I determine that the race of the candidate matters and that the race of the candidate provides an ideological cue to voters about where the candidate stands on issues. If a candidate is white or non-white it provides a different message to voters regarding where the candidate stands on issues, specifically race-based issues. However, these perceptions can be overcome by candidates and only occur in countries where race is a prominent dimension for political competition.

This dissertation is dedicated to my parents Tom and Katherine Davidson. Abstract In this ethnographic study of the dynamic lives of a population of monuments in Ottawa, I argue that long after they have been unveiled, monuments are imbued with many capacities to act. Monuments inspire loathing or affection, and settle or disturb dominant understandings of place, nation, race, and gender. I suggest that monuments have these affective capabilities because they operate like ‘stone bodies’ in their urban environments. Additionally, spirited with a certain life-force, monuments have the ability to haunt, unsettling relationships between place, memory, and belonging. These affective charges of monuments are felt and expressed through articulations of imperial and colonial nostalgia, feminist and other activist mobilities and various articulations of patriotism. -
Modeling Canadian Federal Electoral Reforms
Modeling Canadian Federal Electoral Reforms by Eric Koch B.A. (Political Science), Simon Fraser University, 2009 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Political Science Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Eric Koch SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2017 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. APPROVAL Name: Eric Koch Degree: Master of Arts (Political Science) Title of Project: Modeling Canadian Federal Electoral Reforms Examining Committee: Chair: Genevieve Fuji Johnson, Professor David Laycock Senior Supervisor Professor Rémi Léger Supervisor Assistant Professor Andrew Heard Internal Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: April 10, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This research project is focused on developing an exploratory model that can help explain the factors that affect the political desire for electoral reform. The model, premised on institutional and rational actor theories, develops a set of “endogenous” and “exogenous” factors that allow for evaluation of electoral reform discourse. While some attention is paid to the major reforms that the electoral system has undergone since Confederation, detailed analysis is reserved to the post- 1980 period. Data was collected from party manifestos and Speeches from the Throne. Because the federal government has not made any structural changes to its electoral system, provincial and international electoral reforms are considered for the potential influence by “contagion”. Institutional barriers to reform are also factored into the model. Lastly, the model introduces the element of developing web-based technologies such as social media that are changing how the electorate is exerting its influence on the federal parties. -
