The New Democrats showed the biggest gain, increasing their opposition seats from two to 16, although Jim Gurnett lost a close race in his bid for re- election in the Dunvegan riding. Liberals also made a showing, gaining four seats, including one for party leader Nick Taylor. It was Tay- lor's fifth try for a seat and the first time provincial Liberals have held a seat since 1968. Veteran MLAs Walter Buck and Ray Speaker retained their seats for the Representative Party. Among the Conservatives to lose their seats were Native Affairs Minister Milt Pahl and five other cabinet ministers from Edmonton ridings: Tourism Minister Horst Schmid; Municipal Affairs Minister Julian Koziak; Technology, Research and Communications Minister Dave King; Culture Minister Mary LeMessur- ier; and Workers' Compensation Minister Bill Diachuk. GIFT EXCHANGE House Speaker Gerry Amerongen, an MLA since 1971, also lost his seat.

  • Razing Athabasca: Bitumen Extraction and the Industrial Colonization Of
    Razing Athabasca: Bitumen Extraction and the Industrial Colonization of North-eastern Alberta, 1967-1983 by © Hereward Longley A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History Memorial University ofNewfoundland March 2013 St. John's Newfoundland ETHICS The oral history component of this project has been reviewed by the Interdisciplinary Committee on Ethics in Human Research at Memorial University of Newfoundland and granted approval in accordance with the Tri-Council Policy Statement on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans. ICEHR number 20 12-311-AR. ABSTRACT This thesis shows that oil price increases and supply threats associated with the Cold War and the OPEC Crisis caused the Alberta and Canadian governments to prioritize the development of the oil sands industry. By taking equity in the Syncrude project the Alberta government emerged with conflicting mandates as both developer and regulator of the resource. By the mid 1970s, the Alberta government' s position produced a policy dynamic that contributed to the marginalization of government concern for the environmental impacts of oil sands development. Oil sands development physically colonized Indigenous land and had significant adverse environmental impacts on proximate ecosystems. The degradation of natural resources relied on by fndigenous peoples made affected communities increasingly desperate for employment in the oil sands economy from which they were largely excluded. Indigenous peoples were forced to fight for environmental protection and employment in the industry. II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not exist were it not for the excellence and dedication of my supervisor, and principal investigator of the SSHRC funded project Abandoned Mines in Northern Canada, Dr John Sandlos.

He hAs mAde A unique And importAnt contributions to the development of the UkrAiniAn community in CAnAdA for more thAn six decAdes. A lAwyer by profession, SAvAryn is renowned As A builder of institutions And A leAding figure in UkrAiniAn politicAl And educAtionAl orgAnizAtions, foundAtions, projects And initiAtives.

Key words: multiculturAlism, diAsporA, UkrAiniAn, identity, CAnAdA. Ukrainian Diaspora Studies (notwithstanding recent significant success in the form of international conferences, publications, research etc) still has been an undiscovered continent due to the volume/bulk of material that has to be published, studied and researched in Ukraine as well as in the countries where people of Ukrainian descent reside.
