| | Jamaica Gleaner - Canada's new right - Thursday August 17, 2000 |
| | ONE DAY in the future, the political history of Canada may be written as the history of its governing Liberal party. | | | By capturing the centre and bridging the language divide, the Liberals came to be known as Canada's 'natural governing party,' the only party to consistently secure representation from all of the country's regions and ethnic and linguistic groups. | | | The Canadian way of finding harmony by privatising culture and keeping differences to a minimum served to reconcile differences in a country whose sense of unity was seldom strong. |

| | Colonialism and the literary history of Canada |
| | Canada is an interesting, and in many ways paradigmatic, example of the problems facing the modern nation state, with the opposite but parallel movements of a new, youthful culture trying to forge a stable, unified identity, while the native tribes try to retain ancient group identities that are constantly under pressure from the "other Canada". | | | Canadian political timeline: Sketch of important dates and events in the formation of the Canadian nation state | | | Canada - the problematics of national identity: Discussion of the cultural themes and conflicts that have recurred in Canadian history |

| | IS U.S. NEOCONSERVATISM DEAD? |
| | As we shall see later, the wing of neoconservatism shaped by the ideas of the political philosopher Leo Strauss is primarily concerned with the survival of the culture of the West in the face of liberalism. | | | Indeed, the ideological lineage of neoconservatism can be traced back to this simple belief that a populace is always in need of an enemy to fight, so that they can be reminded of the meaningfulness and precariousness of their culture and polity. | | | For "neoconservatism" (a term coined by the American socialist Michael Harrington in the 1970s) was essentially "new" to the 1970s and 1980s, and seemed to revive in 1994 with the conservative Republican sweep of Congress. |

| | Rebellion of 1837-39 in Canada (upper Canada) |
| | In response to my statement about the existence of a predominantly "Loyalist" (ie., to the British Crown) political culture in Upper Canada (ie., Ontario) in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Luc Baronian asked (quite legitimately): | | | In terms of Upper Canadian 19th century political culture, one has to be careful to distinguish between "Reformers" and "Radicals". | | | In Upper Canada, at least, it was the Radicals and not the Reformers who were behind the violence in 1837, and they never amounted to more than about a thousand people within a population of about a half-million. |

| | The wish to flee political or religious oppressions and a poor economy also sparked the emigration of Poles to Canada. | | | Finally, from 1981 until 1989, Canada opened its doors once again to allow a great wave of Solidnosc (Solidarity) political émigrés and economic migrants seeking better social and economic opportunities. | | | Prompted by the vigorous policies of Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior in Wilfrid Lauriers government, some 115,00 Polish settlers came to Canada between 1896 and l918 to settle the newly opened prairies. |

| | The Dilemma of a Member of Parliament of Canada: |
| | In our present political culture, if a government or opposition MP's loyalty to his province clashes with the instructions of his party whip, putting constituents' or regional considerations first in his way of voting implies considerable risk to his prospects for party advancement. | | | It is a pleasure to be here today to share a few thoughts on how a Member of Parliament can affect the political system in Canada. | | | Canada is among the world's longest practitioners of federalism. |

| | Then there is our sense of justice and fairness, which makes most people rankle under Ottawa's rule, with no voice in its political decisions and perpetually being elected in Ontario where our voice just doesn't count. | | | One major Western Canadian cultural marker is the way we all (for generations!) keep voting for parties who seek change, like the Social Credit, United Farmers of Alberta, CCF, NDP, Reform, Alliance, Western Canada Concept and the Progressives. | | | There is much, much more to our culture but Canada is hostile to the farm culture, the forestry culture, even the oil patch culture and mostly it portrays Western Canadians as redneck bigots or worse. |

| | The 1886 ruling by the Supreme Court in the U.S. which granted the private corporation the rights of a 'natural person' under the U.S. Constitution, has had profound effects on American political and economic culture since then. | | | Douglas, a former premier of Saskatchewan brought in a cheap and affordable healthcare system for his province in the 1960's, which soon spread throughout the rest of Canada thereafter. | | | Kalle Lasn's 'Culture Jam' is indeed a call to arms for a 21st century generation that seems more distracted than ever by the pervasive power of mindless consumption. |

| | Political culture of Canada |
| | There is a strong tradition of loyalty, compromise, and conservatism in Canadian political culture. | | | However, there is also a sense of collective responsibility in Canadian political culture, as is demonstrated in general support for public healthcare, gun control, foreign aid, and other social programs. | | | However, Canada is not a republic, but constitutional monarchy and some Canadians, such as United Empire Loyalists might resent having Canada compared to the country their ancestors escaped from when republicans like Jefferson drove them out of the thirteen colonies seizing their lands and destroying their property. |

| | On the other hand, the new immigrants, who have grown up in an environment in which their culture is dominant are more politically conscious, therefore more willing to participate in the political process, which is one way of gaining recognition and achieveing some political and social leverage in terms of multiculturalism. | | | The focus of this essay will be to investigate this silence, how this generation of New Zealand born Chinese women rationalize their ethnic, gender and nation identity, the conflicts and tensions as well as the blessings of transiting between dual cultures. | | | This is precisely the case when the miniscule number of second and third generation New Zealand Chinese children attending New Zealand schools cruelly marked them as the visible and different other and many had to endure the racist taunting of "Ching Chong Chinamen" daily at school. |

| | The Concept of Loyalty in Upper Canada, 1784--1850. |
| | What is unfortunate, however, is that Mills has not become directly engaged in the present debate about the ideological underpinnings and evolving political culture of early Upper Canada, as addressed by myself, Paul Romney, and others. | | | Upper Canada, the Tory elite asserted until well into the 1830s, was a Loyalist province, not a home for American settlers or of political dissent. | | | David Mills's brief study of The Concept of Loyalty in Upper Canada, 1784--1850 is the latest addition to our ongoing attempt to understand the early period in its own terms, and particularly to trace the nature of Upper Canada's ideological and political development. |
