ABSTRACT The thesis explores how the use of new electxonic technology has changed party furid-raising methods and the conduct of party election carnpaigns ta determine whether Canadian political parties are experiencing a transformation. The thesis looks at how parties use computers to conduct research, polling, and conmunication. It then examines the impact of that technology on the structure of the national parties, particularly their riding associations. Finally, the thes is reviews how success fully Canadian parties have adap ted to the new technology. Through the use of new electronic technology, Canadian parties have found new ways to fulfil traditional soles, as well as beginning to perform new ones. Parties are strongly centralizing in the hands of the national offices, and thus having a detrimental effect on local parties. Canadian parties have had difficulty adapting to the new technology for a number of reasons. Nevertheless, they are entering a new party systera. iii This thesis is dedicated to rny mother for al1 her patience and support. 1 would like to thank Professor S.J.R.

Candidate ........123 CfUPmR 1: INTRODUCTXO~ The use of new electronic technology has become an increasingly important facet of Canadian electoral politics. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how the use of that technology has changed party fund-raising methods and the conduct of party election campaigns. The main (but not exclusive) focus is upon the federal Liberal Party, using the London West Liberal Association as a riding level case study. The main questions which will be examined are : does the use of new technology constrain a party's ability to perform its traditional roles, or does the new technology rather enable a party to perform those roles more efficiently and more effectively? Or does new technology create new roles? John Meisel and Matthew Mendelsohn identify seven tasks that have been assigned to Canadian political parties: providing links between citizens and the state; setting the policy agenda and formulating policy; recruitment of elites; organization of government; st~cturing the vote and elections; organizing public opinion; and aggregating interests. They then proceed to argue that technological change has led parties to experience a relative decline over the past thirty years in their ability to fulfil these roles in the Canadian political system. They cite, for instance, the increased use of polling which has diminished the need for local volunteers to relay their knowledge of public sentiments to elected representatives. Moreover, they maintain, that 2 various forms of cornputer technology have reduced the two-way flow of communication between parties and voters .' Despite the evidence of decline, Meisel and Mendelsohn liken Canadian parties to chameleons which constantly survey the political landscape, transforming themselves to react to new circumstances in order to sustain their relevance as part of the Canadian political process . They accordingly feel that parties are becoming increasingly aware of the gap between themselves and voters and are evolving in order to find new ways to perform their traditional role~.~In other words, parties are transforming themselves in response ta changes in the environment.' The argument of this thesis is that one of their most important responses is the adoption of new electronic technology for fund-raising and campaign purposes. R.K. Carty has divided Canadian political history into three party systems. ~eisel and Mendelsohn suggest that although the third and most recent party system (1963 to the present) was characterized by party decline, it may have been a transitional stage to which parties are adapting themselves, and a new "fourth" system is now emerging which is defined above al1 by the parties0 use of the new campaign technology. It would seem that the parties' main objective in this fourth system is to reestablish links with voters through various technological devices, such as direct mail, persona1 (as opposed to mass) media. and public opinion polls .' This new party system, Meisel and Mendelsohn speculate. may be 7 d distinguished by "hyper-accountability", and in the long run may serve to reaffirm the electoraters attachent to political institutions by involving broad participation and offering more direct links between parties and voters.' In order to detemine whether Canadian parties are entering a fourth party system, the thesis will review evidence so as to chart changes, if any, in party functions, behaviour and organization. THS -ACT OI THB HBW -LOGY ON PmTY mTIONS Cornputer applications such as polling, direct mail, demographic analysis, and voter identification have transformed the ways in which parties go after votes by providing a cheaper, faster and more sophisticated means of handling inf onnation. In doing so , the new electronic technology brought about by the communications revolution may also re-shape the ways in which voters interact with parties by providing for meaningful two-way contact

Karl Marx Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class provides a broad-based forum for labour studies research. Of particular interest are works that challenge familiar national and institutional narratives, focusing instead on gender-based, occupational, racial, and regional divisions among workers and on strategies for fostering working-class solidarity. The series also seeks to resurrect both social class analysis and the view of labour movements as a potentially liberating social force. It invites contributions not only from labour historians but from indus- trial relations scholars, political scientists, economists, sociologists and social movement theorists, and anyone else whose concerns lie with the history and organization of labour, its philosophical underpinnings, and the struggle for economic and social justice.

Abstract While the investigation of nineteenth-century suburbs is a relatively new field in North American social history, the study is particularly neglected in the context of Ontario. Frequendy hstorians and antiquarians have deduced that suburban comrnuniries opted to be annexed by cities in order to tap into the infrastructure and services offered in the urban setting- sewices that were out of reach to the smaller municipal corporations themselves.

  • Computational Identification of Ideology In
    Computational Identification of Ideology in Text: A Study of Canadian Parliamentary Debates Yaroslav Riabinin Dept. of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada February 23, 2009 In this study, we explore the task of classifying members of the 36th Cana- dian Parliament by ideology, which we approximate using party mem- bership. Earlier work has been done on data from the U.S. Congress by applying a popular supervised learning algorithm (Support Vector Ma- chines) to classify Senatorial speech, but the results were mediocre unless certain limiting assumptions were made. We adopt a similar approach and achieve good accuracy — up to 98% — without making the same as- sumptions. Our findings show that it is possible to use a bag-of-words model to distinguish members of opposing ideological classes based on English transcripts of their debates in the Canadian House of Commons. 1 Introduction Internet technology has empowered users to publish their own material on the web, allowing them to make the transition from readers to authors. For example, people are becoming increasingly accustomed to voicing their opinions regarding various prod- ucts and services on websites like Epinions.com and Amazon.com. Moreover, other users appear to be searching for these reviews and incorporating the information they acquire into their decision-making process during a purchase. This indicates that mod- 1 ern consumers are interested in more than just the facts — they want to know how other customers feel about the product, which is something that companies and manu- facturers cannot, or will not, provide on their own.

  • The Impact of Elected Women on Parliamentary Debate and Policymaking in Canada
    Women in the House: The Impact of Elected Women on Parliamentary Debate and Policymaking in Canada by Erica Jane Rayment A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Erica Jane Rayment 2020 Abstract Women in the House: The Impact of Elected Women on Parliamentary Debate and Policymaking in Canada Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Erica Jane Rayment Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto This study examines the impact of elected women in Canada on patterns and processes of parliamentary debate and policymaking from 1968 to 2015. It argues that women’s presence in parliament matters for the substantive representation of women, particularly under conditions of threat to women’s equality. The study refines core concepts in the literature on women’s political representation to explain how the substantive representation of women occurs in Canadian parliamentary institutions. It disaggregates the concept of substantive representation and expands the scope of the critical actors framework to include actions that defend women’s equality against regressive policy initiatives. Building on these refinements, the study argues that gender is a key factor in determining whether an MP will represent women in parliamentary debate, but the institutional role MPs occupy and the political context in which they operate influence the mechanisms they use to advocate for women’s equality in policymaking and their chances of success. Through an automated analysis of the content of nearly 50 years of parliamentary debate, the study finds that women MPs, regardless of party affiliation, are consistently more likely than their male colleagues to make representative claims about women.
