It describes the issues with the Canadian justice system and draws a lot of focus on the judge selection process. A lot was written about the Bernardo Holmolka trials and the outcome. Maybe too much.

I was disappointed that the book didn't deal with the issues around the disappearance of women in Canada and some of the Supreme Court decisions versus the Harper McKay government repression of women in the lower classes of society.

Department of *J The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 2.6 lA/U^ DE-6 (2/88) Abstract This thesis examines representations of a Canadian criminal case, the Bernardo/Homolka case. I argue that the Bernardo/Homolka case constitutes what Robert Hariman has termed a "popular trial"; a trial or case that provides "the impetus and the forum for major public debates" and generates discussion extending beyond the immediate court proceedings, to broader issues concerning the law and the legal system. As a 'popular trial', or as what Nancy Fraser terms a moment of "hyperpublicity", the Bernardo/Homolka case provides a means of understanding mechanisms of public opinion making and broader relations of inequality.

  • The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada
    The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada by Eric Van Rythoven A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2017, Eric Van Rythoven Abstract International Relations (IR) theory commonly holds security arguments as powerful instruments of political mobilization because they work to instill, circulate, and intensify popular fears over a threat to a community. Missing from this view is how security arguments often provoke a much wider range of emotional reactions, many of which frustrate and constrain state officials’ attempts to frame issues as security problems. This dissertation offers a corrective by outlining a theory of the contentious politics of emotion and security. Drawing inspiration from a variety of different social theorists of emotion, including Goffman’s interactionist sociology, this approach treats emotions as emerging from distinctive repertoires of social interaction. These emotions play a key role in enabling audiences to sort through the sound and noise of security discourse by indexing the significance of different events to our bodies. Yet popular emotions are rarely harmonious; they’re socialized and circulated through a myriad of different pathways. Different repertoires of interaction in popular culture, public rituals, and memorialization leave audiences with different ways of feeling about putative threats. The result is mixed and contentious emotions which shape both opportunities and constraints for new security policies. The empirical purchase of this theory is illustrated with two cases drawn from the Canadian context: indigenous protest and the F-35 procurement.

  • Canadian Judicial Nomination Processes and the Press: ‘Interesting, in a Sleepy Sort of Way’
    Oñati Socio-legal Series, v. 4, n. 4 (2014) – Law in the Age of Media Logic ISSN: 2079-5971 Canadian Judicial Nomination Processes and the Press: ‘Interesting, in a Sleepy Sort of Way’ ∗ DAVID SCHNEIDERMAN Schneiderman, D., 2014. Canadian Judicial Nomination Processes and the Press: ‘Interesting, in a Sleepy Sort of Way’. Oñati Socio-legal Series [online], 4 (4), 685-708. Available from: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2511239 Abstract Most of the recent appointees to the Supreme Court of Canada have participated in a new Canadian judicial nomination process initiated by the current Conservative government. As originally formulated in early policy platforms, the process was intended to mimic features of US Senate judicial confirmation hearings and so would highlight the distinction (popular in US political discourse) between ‘applying’ and ‘making’ law. This led to widespread fears that any new public process would politicize judicial appointments and functions at the Supreme Court. The process turned out to be much more tepid than anticipated and so raises questions about what Canadians may have learned as a consequence of this new nomination process. This paper undertakes a qualitative analysis of reporting of four nomination processes from a select number of Canadian newspapers. The main object is to determine the degree to which readers might have been alerted to the distinction between law and politics or, put another way, between judicial activism and restraint. It turns out that this framing was not dominant in the coverage and that, instead, distinctive Canadian political preoccupations, like language politics, got channeled through this new political opportunity structure.

  • Toronto Newspaper Coverage of the 1975 Ontario Provincial Election Campaign
    ABSTRACT TORONTO NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF THE 1975 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN by Nick Chandler Stout As scholars and others try to explain the surprising results of the l975 Ontario provincial election, i.e., the relative success of the New Democratic party and the relegation to minority of the governing Progressive-Conservatives, they doubtless will consider the influence of the news media. This study considers the role of the Toronto press in the campaign. It involves a quantitative analysis to determine the amount of attention paid to each of the three major political parties: the Progressive- Conservatives, the Liberals and the New Democratic Party. It also provides a qualitative assessment to shed light on the attitudes of the Toronto press, such as the way it regarded party leaders, interpreted campaign news and implied electoral preferences. The findings are the result of a meticulous examination of the §1992_ and Mail, Toronto Star and Toronto Sun in which campaign-related articles were measured and assessed for their partisan value. Nick Chandler Stout The study shows that the Tories were given considerably more space than the opposition parties, but that the socialist- leaning NDP tended to receive the best treatment from writers of editorials and commentaries. Moreover, it is shown that the NDP became the centre of attention during the final phase of the campaign and gained a strategic advantage by the prominent news coverage it was given at that time. In a general sense, more attention was paid to the images of the party leaders than to the issues for which they stood.

  • A Magnificent Day in Parliament with a Charlie Brown Moment Page 1 of 4
    globeandmail.com: A magnificent day in Parliament with a Charlie Brown moment Page 1 of 4 A magnificent day in Parliament with a Charlie Brown moment CHRISTIE BLATCHFORD FROM SATURDAY'S GLOBE AND MAIL JUNE 13, 2008 AT 8:33 PM EDT Random thoughts on random events in the news this week: On the aboriginal apology: Watching the tube on Wednesday night, I thought Prime Minister Stephen Harper was magnificent, winning what was an evident struggle to keep his composure, because, I suspect, he knew that on this particular day, tears weren't for government leaders, or anyone in government, to shed. I admired NDP Leader Jack Layton, whom I believe to be a real softie, for managing to keep a stiffish upper lip (stiffish being always an acceptable result for New Democrats) for what I suspect is the same reason. I liked Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion's declaration of responsibility for the natural governing party, which was in office for so many of the residential school years. I thought the speech from Assembly of First Nations National Chief Phil Fontaine, wearing what was the most spectacular headdress I've ever seen, was terrific. But what kept sneaking into my head was the old Peanuts comic strip and the long-running gag that had Lucy perpetually offering to hold the football so Charlie Brown could kick it – and then lifting the ball at the last second just as he moved in for the boot so that he fell flat on his keister. Every time, despite his gnawing fear that she was playing him again, Charlie Brown decided to trust the evil Lucy, and every time, she'd move the damn football and make him look the fool.

  • Stories from Canadian Campuses Over the Last Few Months
    STORIES FROM CANADIAN CAMPUSES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS Western University: In early October, photographs of four students clad in Western purple and posing in front of a banner reading “Western Lives Matter” were posted to the internet. Administrators at the university launched an investigation to determine whether the students involved had violated the Student Code of Conduct. “‘Black Lives Matter’ is an important human rights movement and a powerful response to systemic racism that permeates our society,” Jana Luker, Western’s vice-president for student experience, wrote. “Co-opting the ‘Lives Matter’ phrase in this way is repugnant and trivializes the validity of this international cause and network.” Western’s code includes the sentence: “Nothing in this Code shall be construed to prohibit peaceful assemblies and demonstrations, lawful picketing, or to inhibit free speech as guaranteed by law.” The investigation concluded that no student violated the code. “It did not rise to the threshold as a code violation under our student code,” Ms Luker explained. Sources: http://www.safs.ca/issuescases/westernlivesmatter/ University of Lethbridge: Also in early October, professor Anthony Hall was suspended without pay by Lethbridge president Mike Mahon because of concerns that Dr Hall might have contravened the hate-speech provisions of Section 3 of the Alberta Human Rights Act. Dr Hall is an outspoken critic of Israel, and some people say that his internet postings have been anti-Semitic. Nothing in President Mahon’s public statements faults Dr Hall’s research, teaching, or behaviour toward colleagues or students. The suspension is entirely for extra- mural speech.
