Canada Abstract News to Make a Difference: The Environment and The 4th ESTATE, 1969-1977 by Lisa Corra This thesis is the first lengthy study of The 4th ESTATE, an alternative newspaper published in Halifax, Nova Scotia 1969-1977. It covers the work of journalists in both the alternative and the daily press in the 1960s and 1970s. An examination of print media in the years 2006-2008 puts the thesis into context. The editors of The 4th ESTATE thought of themselves as a new voice in Halifax and the Maritimes, covering such themes as environmentalism (which is covered in detail in the thesis), poverty, women's rights, the Black movement, mental health, and sexual orientation. The editors contended that Halifax needed a new newspaper in town, one that would be truthful and also activist in its approach. The paper became well known for giving a voice to the underdogs of society. The thesis also covers politics in Nova Scotia during the time that The 4th ESTATE was published.

I would also like to acknowledge my appreciation to the staff of Nova Scotia Archives and Records Management in making so much material accessible to me, including a complete run of The 4th ESTATE. The Brenda Large Fonds, containing the newspaper's office files, were invaluable in providing background for this study. Thanks also to the Atlantic Canada Studies program at Saint Mary's University for making this project possible and for providing so much academic support and encouragement. I would also like to thank the Gorsebrook Research Institute for the use of its facilities. The librarians at the Patrick Power Library were always enormously helpful, supplying not just research materials but also excellent advice. Special thanks to my supervisor, Dr. Margaret Harry, for being so patient, understanding, and professional during my graduate years. Finally, I would like to thank my friends and family, especially my mother Sheryl Melanson, who not only provided the benefit of her own experience of Nova Scotia politics during the 1960s and 1970s, but never failed to be there for me.

Over the past six months we have met with many people who graciously gave of their time, on our schedule, to share their expertise on this topic. We express our thanks to Steven R. Wolff and John Ross of the Nova Scotia Pension Agency, Gordon D. Hebb, Q.c., Chief legislative Counsel and Mel Bartlett, Partner, Morneau Shepell limited and the many people in his office who worked tirelessly on this project. We greatly appreciated the written submissions received from Nova Scotians and from former MlAs. Current and retired MlAs spoke with us candidly and privately of their experiences. This input helped guide us in our deliberations. We are of the view that MlAs have a unique and demanding job in today's Nova Scotia and as a result their retirement package must be reasonable, fair and transparent.

  • The Limits to Influence: the Club of Rome and Canada
    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.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.
