Scaling Memory: Reparation Displacement and the Case of BC
Scaling Memory: Reparation Displacement and the Case of BC MATT JAMES University of Victoria In British Columbia, people tend to view history as something that happened last weekend.... Happily, it doesn’t matter here who your ancestors were or who did what to whom 300 years ago. Lisa Hobbs Birnie ~1996! Racist injustices have played a central role in shaping British Columbia; it could hardly be otherwise in a white-dominated settler society built on an ongoing history of Indigenous dispossession and 75 initial years of official racism against Asians. Yet despite the spread of an “age of apol- ogy” ~Gibney et al., 2008!, characterized in many locales by a growing introspection over patterns of historic injustice, considerations of repara- tion still seem marginal in BC, an anomaly to which this article responds. Charting the contours of an amnesiac culture of memory, the follow- ing pages argue that BC’s aloofness from the age of apology reflects a phenomenon I call “reparation displacement.” While some recalcitrant communities resist calls to repair injustice by denying responsibility or claiming no injustice has occurred, reparation displacement works more subtly, redirecting understandings of responsibility instead. In the BC case, reparation displacement is intertwined with the politics of federalism; issues of racist injustice in BC have been conceived almost exclusively— not only by officials but often by redress activists themselves—as mat- ters of federal rather than provincial shame. While more informed debates about Canadian belonging have followed federal apologies for wrongs inflicted on various groups, including Japanese Canadians, Chinese Cana- dians and Indigenous peoples ~James, 2006: 243–45!, BC is a different Acknowledgments: The author would like to thank Caroline Andrew, Alan Cairns, Avigail Eisenberg, Steve Dupré, Chris Kukucha, Daniel Woods, and the two CJPS reviewers for helpful comments on earlier drafts.

January 4, 2019 Karen Goodings Peace River Regional District Box 810 Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4H8 Dear Karen, It is my pleasure to provide you with a complimentary issue of our new political newsletter, The Composite Advisor. British Columbia today is in the midst of an exciting political drama — one that may last for the next many months, or (as I believe) the next several years. At present, a New Democratic Party government led by Premier John Horgan and supported by Andrew Weaver's Green Party, holds a narrow advantage in the Legislative Assembly. And after 16 years in power, the long-governing BC Liberals now sit on the opposition benches with a relatively-new leader in Andrew Wilkinson. B.C.'s next general-election is scheduled for October 2021, almost three years from now, but as the old saying goes: 'The only thing certain, is uncertainty." (The best political quote in this regard may have been by British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan who, asked by a reporter what might transpire to change his government's course of action, replied: "Events, dear boy, events." New research suggests that MacMillan never said it — but it's still a great quote!) Composite Public Affairs Inc.

The Tailings of Canadian Politics: the North-South Political Divide
The Tailings of Canadian Politics: The North-South Political Divide TRACY SUMMERVILLE AND GREG POELZER The Northern Review #25/26 (Summer 2005): 106–122. Regionalism continues to be a central concern of scholars of Canadian politics. Most scholars focus on Western alienation, Quebec separatism, or Atlantic economic disparities. Yet little attention has been given to the North-South political cleavages within provinces.1 The concerns of resi- dents over land claims in northern British Columbia and the transporta- tion of garbage to Kirk land Lake from Toronto, to cite but two examples, suggest the existence of a distinctly northern provincial identity. This paper argues that there is clear evidence that residents across Canada’s provincial Norths see them sel ves as distinct from the larger provincial political communities of which they are a part. Moreover, we suggest the residents of the provincial Norths have com monalities in their political perceptions and responses to important policy issues. Our paper begins with a discussion of the relationship among culture, institutions, and internal colonialism as factors in the development of re- gional political identity and a brief outline of the issues of northern iden- tity in scho larship on the North. We then illustrate through three cases— gun con trol and the related bear hunting moratoriums, health care, and economic devel opment—that policies designed in the provincial South are framed with in a very diff erent set of beliefs, values, and attitudes than in the provincial North. Clearly, the outcomes of these policy decisions have very diff erent impacts in the provincial Norths because of these disparate beliefs and values.

OOTD Oct 2017 Letter Size
Orders of the Day The Publication of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia Volume 23, Number 8 October 2017 A 30th anniversary celebration to remember Happy Holidays BCYP President Chris Coulson, guest speaker Angus Reid, Association President Penny Priddy, Her Honour Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon and Hon. Speaker Darryl Plecas at the 2017 Association Annual Dinner. More than 100 former MLAs, their spouses and friends packed the dining hall at Government House Sept. 22nd to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Association of Former MLAs of BC. It was a special evening on many levels including touching opening remarks by Her Honour Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon who is at the end of her five-year vice-regal appointment; a short, but powerful message from BC Youth Parliament Premier Chris Coulson; and an impactful polling lesson from the country’s pre-eminent surveyor of public opinion Angus Reid. And, taking it all in from his seat in the audience, was the AFMLABC’s most senior of members, Gordon Gibson, a founding director of the association. BCYP Premier Coulson really nailed the commonality between the youth movement and the AFMLABC which financially supports the BCYP’s annual December sitting in the BC Legislature: “We teach our members that the nature of democracy is in service to our communities … In that vein, there is very much a passing of the torch here tonight." More stories and many more pictures from the Government House event are featured on pages 6 through 11. Under the Distinguished Patronage of Her Honour The Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC Thank You and Miscellany Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia Orders of the Day is published regularly Dues, Subscriptions and Donations throughout the year, and is circulated to Association members, all MLAs now serving in Gordon Gibson, Vancouver Legislature, other interested individuals and Dave Hayer, Surrey organizations.

The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform
Playing with Fiscal Fire: The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform by Matthew Lesch A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Matthew Lesch 2018 Playing with Fiscal Fire: The Politics of Consumption Tax Reform Matthew Lesch Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto Abstract 2018 Drawing on the case of consumption tax reform, this dissertation investigates the varying capacity of governments to enact and institutionalize ―general-interest reforms‖ (Patashnik 2003). The study advances a two-stage theory of policy reform. The first part explains why some governments, in spite of the political risks, decide to pursue general-interest reforms. In this first stage, two variants of policy learning—rational learning and emulation—are proposed to explain policy uptake. The second stage of the theory builds on policy feedback scholarship (Pierson 1993;Mettler and SoRelle 2014), claiming that the durability of a reform hinges on policy design. It proposes that governments can prompt various policy feedback effects through policy design and communications. Such efforts can shape the political incentives and perceptions of interest groups, opposition parties and voters at key junctures in the policy process. The study illustrates the analytic value of this approach through two distinct but complementary empirical strategies. First, through comparative case analysis using mainly qualitative techniques of elite interviews and document analysis, it compares the varying experiences of two Canadian provincial governments— Ontario and British Columbia (BC)—with value-added tax (VAT) reform. While each government chose to pursue VAT reform in the late 2000s, only in the case of Ontario was it successfully implemented while the BC government was forced to reverse its policy decision.
