Selecting Women to Lead Provincial Parties in Government By Melanee Thomas Associate Professor Department of Political Science University of Calgary 2500 University Drive NW Calgary, AB T2N 1N4 Abstract: The majority of Canada’s women premiers were selected to that office while their parties held government. This is uncommon, both in the comparative literature and amongst premiers who are men. What explains this gendered selection pattern to Canada’s provincial premiers’ offices? This paper explores the most common explanation found in the comparative literature for women’s emergence as leaders of electorally competitive parties and as chief political executives: women are more likely to be selected when that party is in crisis or decline. Using the population of women provincial premiers in Canada as case studies, evidence suggests 3 of 8 women premiers were selected to lead parties in government that were in crisis or decline; a fourth was selected to lead a small, left-leaning party as predicted by the literature.

  • And Right- Wing Governments to Women's Issues in Ontario and British Columbia 1980-2002
    How Party Matters: A Comparative Assessment of the Openness of Left- and Right- Wing Governments to Women's Issues in Ontario and British Columbia 1980-2002 Cheryl N. Collier Department of Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario [email protected] Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, May 30-June 1, 2007 Draft Paper - Comments welcome. Please do not cite or quote without permission. 1 How Party Matters: A Comparative Assessment of the Openness of Left- and Right- Wing Governments to Women's Issues in Ontario and British Columbia 1980-20021 By Cheryl N. Collier Carleton University In November 1991, almost immediately after being elected to office, the left-wing BC NDP government of Michael Harcourt created the Ministry of Women's Equality (MWE). Even though BC already had a junior ministry to deal with women's issues, the MWE was the first and only full, free-standing ministry for women to be created in Canada with a mandate to advance women's equality (Erickson 1996; Teghtsoonian 2005). This was a significant achievement for women's groups and feminists within the BC NDP who had been trying to get the party to establish the ministry ever since it first formed a government between 1972 and 1975 (Erickson 1996). The MWE was a "central agency" within the BC government of the day. Its minister was given a seat on the two most important cabinet committees and the ministry as a whole was given a wide policy advisory role to "ensure that 'issues relating to women's equality [were] reflected in policy, legislation, services and programs throughout [the] government'" (quoted in Erickson 1996:199).

  • A Critical Analysis of Apprenticeship Programs in British Columbia
    A Critical Analysis of Apprenticeship Programs in British Columbia by Gregory Matte 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 Public Policy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Gregory Matte Abstract This study examines issues surrounding apprenticeships in the construction industry in British Columbia (BC) during the period of 1993 to 2004, particularly the state of the social settlement amongst its primary stakeholders, namely the government, unionized and non-unionized employment associations and post- secondary colleges. It provides a conceptual framework to research apprenticeships as a skills ecosystem, and to explain why successive provincial governments were motivated to impose significant legislative changes on the vocational education and training system. The findings not only examine the motivation, but also the resulting outcomes, using the different political ideologies as a basis to explain how contrasting stakeholder perspectives shaped both. Based on a combination of structure and agency, the primary stakeholders operated within the confines of institutional structures, extant logics and the limitations of their own perspectives and objectives. This thesis examines how the relationships between apprenticeships, the labour market and the post-secondary education system are coordinated, governed, influenced and shaped in BC, as well as how these same relationships have evolved, including the impact of such changes on apprenticeship programs as a skills ecosystem. The period of 1993 to 2004 was specifically chosen as it was a period of bold political reforms pertaining to trades training within the province by two ideologically opposed political parties.

  • PARTISAN REALIGNMENT in BRITISH COLUMBIA the Case of the Provincial Liberal Party
    PARTISAN REALIGNMENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA The Case of the Provincial Liberal Party DONALD E. BLAKE AND R. KENNETH CARTY ROVINCIAL PARTY COMPETITION IN British Columbia has a sharper left-right focus than in any other part of English- Pspeaking North America. Federal institutions have allowed the province's electoral competition to become detached from the main currents of Canadas national politics, which have focused on the attempts of the old-line federal parties to broker a host of competing regional, cultural, and socioeconomic interests. The contemporary version of British Columbia's polarized provin­ cial party system was born in 1952 with the collapse of a wartime provincial coalition of Liberals and Conservatives. Though Social Credit soon established an electoral dominance, it did not absorb all the anti-socialist forces. The Conservatives quickly disappeared into the new party, but the Liberals managed to hold onto about 20 per cent of the vote and a handful of seats. In 1972 the NDP won an election, but with less than 40 per cent of the vote, when much of the support of the aging Social Credit government splintered and defected. Reactions to that election led to the renewal of Social Credit leadership, the creation of a more modern party organization, and the re-establishment of a new, more complete Social Credit electoral coalition. In that rebuilding Social Credit finally managed to absorb most of the Liberal élite who had resisted them for two decades. The 1975 election returned Social Credit to power and completed the creation of the modern bipolar party system. In October 1991, the stage was apparently set for a repeat of this dynamic.

  • Retrenchment in Ontario and BC
    Retrenchment in Ontario and British Columbia: Do Provincial Governments Cut Child Care in Tough Economic Times? Cheryl N. Collier Department of Political Science University of Toronto Toronto, ON M5S 3G3 [email protected] Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Winnipeg, June 3-5, 2004 Work in Progress - please do not cite or quote without permission 1 Retrenchment in Ontario and British Columbia: Do Provincial Governments Cut Child Care in Tough Economic Times?1 By Cheryl N. Collier University of Toronto Since the 1980s, Canada and other western democracies have moved away from Keynesian models of the welfare state in favour of neoliberal approaches that emphasized reductions in social spending. This shift ostensibly occurred so states could better promote economic prosperity, bolster individual control and widen choices in available services (Brodie 1996). Women in Canada, along with other western states, have generally been more dependent on the state than men, because they are poorer and more often assume the unpaid task of caring for dependants (Maillé 1991). As such, a rich and growing body of literature has explored the increasingly common trend toward government retrenchment of welfare state policy and its consequences for women. Sylvia Bashevkin argues that "poor, female, minority, and hence relatively weak political constituencies" have suffered the most (2000:36). In Canada, the federal Mulroney Conservative government used the spectre of growing budgetary deficits in the later 1980s to justify welfare state cuts; it then continued this neoliberal approach in the 1990s to keep Canada "competitive" (Brodie 1996:6). Evidence also shows similar restructuring trends occurring provincially in Ontario under the Harris Tories in the mid-1990s and more recently in British Columbia under the Campbell Liberals.
