Eidelman-Phd Dissertation-Landlocked Politics LANDLOCKED: POLITICS, PROPERTY, AND THE TORONTO WATERFRONT, 1960-2000 by Gabriel Ezekiel Eidelman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Gabriel Eidelman 2013 Landlocked: Politics, Property, and the Toronto Waterfront, 1960-2000 Gabriel Eidelman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Dozens of major cities around the world have launched large-scale waterfront redevelopment projects over the past fifty years. Absent from this list of noteworthy achievements, however, is Toronto, a case of grand ambitions gone horribly awry. Despite three extensive revitalization plans in the second half of the 20th century, Toronto’s central waterfront, an area roughly double the city’s central business district, has remained mired in political gridlock for decades. The purpose of this dissertation is to explain why this came to pass. Informed by extensive archival and interview research, as well as geospatial data analyzed using Geographic Information Systems software, the thesis demonstrates that above and beyond political challenges typical of any major urban redevelopment project, in Toronto, issues of land ownership — specifically, public land ownership — were pivotal in defining the scope and pace of waterfront planning and implementation. Few, if any, waterfront redevelopment projects around the world have been attempted amidst the same degree of public land ownership and jurisdictional fragmentation as that which plagued implementation efforts in Toronto. From 1961-1998, no less than 81% of all land in the central waterfront was owned by one public body or another, dispersed across a patchwork of public agencies, corporations, and special purpose authorities nestled within multiple levels of government. Such fragmentation, ii specifically across public bodies, added a layer of complexity to the existing intergovernmental dynamic that effectively crippled implementation efforts. It created a “joint-decision trap” impervious to conventional resolution via bargaining, problem solving, or unilateral action. This tangled political history poses a considerable challenge to conventional liberal, structuralist, and regime-based theories of urban politics derived from US experiences. It also highlights the limits of conventional implementation theory in the study of urban development, and calls into question longstanding interpretations of federal-provincial-municipal relations and multilevel governance in Canada. iii Acknowledgments To those under the impression that completing a PhD is a strictly individual achievement, know this: nothing could be further from the truth. I could never have come this far without the help and encouragement of so many colleagues, friends, and family. Richard Stren, my supervisor, was absolutely instrumental in guiding me to the finish line. When I needed a coach, he drew up strategy; a cheerleader, he raised my spirits. He is the strongest advocate of my work, and the kindest mentor imaginable. I am truly honoured to have been taken under his wing. My committee members, David Cameron and Phil Triadafilopoulos, provided me with unrelenting support throughout. David is an honest-to-goodness sage; no matter how jumbled my thoughts, I could always count on him to lend a conscientious ear. Phil is, without a doubt, the finest role model a young scholar could ask for — sharp as a knife, yet disarmingly warm (not to mention a heck of a D-partner on the ice). I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. I am grateful as well to members of my extended committee. Graham White took time out of his well-earned sabbatical to carefully critique my work. Caroline Andrew offered her comments with precision and grace. And though he played only a small role in the direct making of this thesis, I am particularly thankful that Matt Hoffmann, from whom I have learned so much over the years, could be there at the end of the road. Others deserving thanks for their professional contributions include: Grace Skogstad, Christian Breunig, Linda White, Doug Macdonald, Ed Schatz, Ingrid Stefanovic, Richard White, and Lionel Feldman. Many in this group read portions of my work, others simply helped shape my ideas. All, however, left their own distinct mark on the thesis before you. Special mention to Kristin Good, Martin Horak, and Chris Gore for their invaluable “insider” advice. iv I would like to acknowledge the collective candour of my interview participants, whose insights, as you will see, enliven nearly every page of this project. Thanks especially to David Crombie for multiple engaging chats, Peter de Tolly for going the extra mile (from many miles away), Tony Coombes for his early guidance, and Gene Desfor for not only allowing me access to his personal vault of waterfront materials, but the confidence he showed in me from day one. Credit also to the gang of unheralded, yet indispensable, archivists who piloted me through hundreds of boxes of historical treasures at the City of Toronto Archives, the Archives of Ontario, the National Library and Archives, and the Toronto Port Authority archives. A nod as well to Marcel Fortin and Gerald Romme at the University of Toronto’s Map and Data Library for their expertise and tutoring in GIS. My visits to all of these outstanding resources, I should add, were made possible by financial support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, as well as the University of Toronto’s Institute for Municipal Finance and Governance, and Centre for Environment. The ups and downs of “dissertating,” as we say in the business, certainly take their toll. Whatever sanity I have left I owe to a great group of friends. A big hug to: Zack Taylor, for being a fantastic partner in academic crime; Mike Painter-Main, for good laughs, European adventures, and summer ball in the park; Deb Thompson, for turning the definition of “enemy” on its head; Laura Sparling and Evan Sotiropoulos, for making lunch the most important meal of the day; Mark Purdon, for patrolling the blue line and making do with a short couch; Dave Gordon, for sharing the thrill of cycle tracks in Copenhagen; David Houle and Yannick Dufresne, for showing me the best in (French) Canadian camaraderie; Joerg Wittenbrinck, for his unsurpassed kindness (and that cold, cold ride to Scarborough); Vuk Radmilovic, for never turning down a debate, even on Darwin; Megan Gaucher, for reminding me that venting in Kingston is just as cathartic as it is at home; Khalid Ahmed, for never failing to give my ego a boost, even when I did not deserve it; and the urban reading group of Carey Doberstein, Heather Millar, Scott Sams, and Jack Lucas, for always saying yes to patios and pints. A very special thanks to my old friend and roommate, Dan Buchman, with whom I (and a pesky audience of v mice) shared so many lively discussions on politics, ethics, and sports in our “cozy” basement apartment on Bathurst St. Finally, I would not be writing these words without the remarkable dedication and patience of my adoring partner, Chana Korenblum. Chana read every word of this thesis, and then some, even when her sleepy eyes wanted no more. How lucky to be in love with the world’s most charming and devoted amateur editor. Thank you to my extended family — Marshall, Tami, Rita, Jacob, and Vanessa — for your affection and a permanent seat at Friday night dinners. To my cousins, Adriana and Roni, for being my lucky charms. To my brother, Alex, for doing what big brothers do best — giving me a hard time only when I ask for it — and Seleen, for being the closest thing to a sister in a family with too many men. And most importantly, un beso a mi mama y papa, Beatriz Grinsteinas and Adolfo Eidelman, to whom I dedicate not only the following pages, but all my accomplishments to date. In all my thirty years, all you have asked of me is to do my best. Who would have guessed that would bring me a PhD? I hope I’ve made you proud.

    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

    MS KATZ Memento Books Coll 00459 Katz Memento Books History of the Mementos Book Two-volume book which consists of 341 paintings, sketches, prints, collages, autographs, partial music scores, poetry and prose collected by Katz, with the help of his wife Johanna, over nearly three decades, from 1970-1998. The book has been rebound twice to make room for additional contributions. It has accompanied the Katzes on their travels across Canada, as well as Cuba, The People’s Republic of China, Mexico, and elsewhere. Among the Canadian contributors: Farley Mowat, Margaret Atwood, Northup Frye, Robertson Davies, Michael Ondaatje, Arthur Lismer, Thoreau MacDonald (a frequent contributor), Leon Bellefleur. Interest contributors: Marc Chagall, Rufino Tamayo, Henry Moore, Andy Warhol, among many others. The first Memento Book was given to Katz by his wife Johanna in the late 1960s. It sat unused in a drawer for many years until early in 1971 when Katz conceived of the idea of “Mementos to Leon,” a book to which various artists he had met and would meet in the future could contribute. The first artist with whom Katz discussed the subject of such a book was Carl Schaefer, and it was Schaefer who contributed the first entry: the pen & ink sketch “The Lilac in Winter at 157 St. Clements Ave.” (p. 5). “Mementos For Leon Katz” – Book I Page Author/Artist, Description, date 1 Thoreau MacDonald, ink sketch of two pines, 1970 2 Blank 3 James Wilson Morrice, pencil sketch: “Luxembourg Gardens, Paris, 1924,” 1924 4 Alfred Joseph (A.J.)

  • Defense of Place: an Overview
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION i. Sense of Place--Defense of Place: An Overview: Using the Toronto Island as a case study, this investigation argues that there is a dialectical relationship between sense of place (i.e., strong emotional attachment to a place of personal significance and meaning) and defense of place (i.e., specific political, legal and other actions taken to protect a place that is threatened). That is to say, When a place to which a person or group of people is strongly attached is threatened in some way. the sense of place may lead to and condition the nature of the defense of place; and. when a place is threatened and defended, that defense of place, in turn, conditions and influences the nature of sense of place. It is impossible to fully comprehend individual and collective responses to a threat without understanding the nature of the individual and collective attachment to that which is being threatened. Actions taken in defense of place, therefore, cannot be fully understood without appreciation of the part­ icipants' sense of place. Similarly, the very actions and experiences associated with defense of place may, in turn, heighten and/or otherwise influence participants' sense of place. In a situation where defense of place has occurred, therefore, participants' sense of place cannot be fully comprehended without a parallel understanding of their defense of place. It follows from this that in order to properly study a dialectical relationship between sense of place and defense of place, - .t ­ both the specific nature of the sense of place and the specific nature of the defense of place must be investigated in depth (as in the case study presented here) • Sense of place is a phenomenon of considerable interest and importance to geographers and a phenomenon Which may exist in the absence of any severe threat or any defense of place.

Chair, Canadian Index of Wellbeing Advisory Board Senior Fellow, Political Studies, University of Saskatchewan; Atkinson Economic Justice Fellow; Commissioner on the Future of Health Care in Canada; Former Premier of Saskatchewan To Canadian Doctors of Medicare 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Canada Health Act Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada August 16, 2009 [Document from http://ciw.ca] 1. Introduction Good evening everyone. It’s wonderful to join you on this historic evening celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Canada Health Act. Let me start by thanking Canadian Doctors for Medicare for your kind invitation to speak. Thank you Ryan (Meili) for your warm introduction. I’ve come to accept that the older I get the more my introductions sound like eulogies, but let me assure you I have miles to go before I sleep. I can’t think of a better place to mark this anniversary. Many of you know that I’m a Saskatoon native, born and bred, and I take pride in the fact that the Broadway Theatre is community-owned and operated. Those of you who are from other parts of the country may not know that this theatre was built in 1945, the very same year that the Province of Saskatchewan issued government health-care cards to all pensioners, all women on mother's allowance, and all disabled people in Saskatchewan, entitling them to full medicare coverage including drugs. I’m very pleased to be here, and I’m even more pleased to serve as Danielle Martin’s warm-up act.

The year was filled with many unforgettable milestones. We opened the new fully-accessible Sheppard Subway line. We welcomed our 24 billionth rider. We delivered our services with the utmost pride during 2002 World Youth Day festivities. During the past year we also opened a new operating and maintenance facility – the new Eglinton Division and Garage in Scarborough – and achieved our 1,500th bus rebuild at Hillcrest Complex. By far, one of the most important achievements in 2002 was bringing the provincial government back to the funding table, and introducing the federal government to TTC funding - with its first major investment in the renewal and modernization of the system. The TTC was provided with $63.6 million in capital funding from the provincial government and $62.3 million for capital improvements from the federal government. In 2002, the TTC carried 416 million riders, or about 1.4 million passengers on a typical weekday, using an active fleet of 692 subway cars, 28 light rapid transit cars, 248 streetcars and 1,603 conventional and Wheel-Trans buses. The TTC is the only public transit authority in Canada that carries more than 400 million revenue passengers annually.
