Abstract:
Abstract In her 1998 Presidential Address to the Canadian Historical Association, Judith Fingard poses a question which has been on our collective minds for some time: “Does the personal history of the historian determine the choice of her or his subject matter, approach, and ongoing professional development?” By delving into the personal reflections of celebrated Canadian historians, Fingard has been able to shed light on this contentious issue. According to Fingard, the personal and professional intersect at several key points (or at least have for her sample of historians working in Canada in the past twenty years). The obvious, it seems, is true. Gender, class and stage of life all influence scholarly pursuits whether it be in terms of subject matter chosen or the amount of time one is able to devote to research and writing. Certainly the past twenty years has seen great change in Canadian academia; particularly, one can argue, in the field of history. It is clear that those sampled in Fingard's survey drew upon their personal backgrounds not only to forge a passion for the past - sometimes against all odds - but a professional identity based on the study of history of the margins. Ultimately, we can conclude that social historians of the past twenty years personify the field they played such a role in developing. To varying degrees, the profession is indeed personal.

Abstract:
Policy writing is an effective skill that history instructors should teach their students for life after their undergraduate degree. This article proposes that instructors encourage their students to learn policy writing through experiential learning practices. In particular, it advocates for the use of live simulations in the undergraduate history classroom that emphasize policy writing solutions. In this case, the collaboration between historians and librarians is demonstrative of effective historical analysis and fundamental research practices. This article uses a third-year history course in Canadian External Relations as the primary example to share this model. In a simulation, upper-year students are situated within a particular historical event and are tasked to complete a group-based action memorandum writing exercise during a timed in-class period. This simulation policy writing exercise gives students first-hand experience working collaboratively with one another in a political decision-making setting. The simulation can be supplemented with an independent writing assignment that also emphasizes policy writing, such as an action memorandum or a briefing note, in place of the traditional history research paper. This article examines a Canadian history simulation which situates students within the Canadian Department of External Affairs during the Suez crisis. It demonstrates the enhancement of student learning through a practice-based, hands-on approach, that requires collaboration and semester-long learning. The simulation challenges students to act and resolve the scenario at hand. Policy writing is the process by which “government employees and non-governmental organizations create written documents for lawmakers and policy professionals to read.” Policy documents can be a variety of lengths, ranging from short-briefings to lengthy reports.[1]In the course model proposed in this article, students learn policy writing while they also continue to develop valuable history-related skills such as creativity, research, analysis, and critical-thinking. Victor Asal has argued that “the best way to get educational mileage out of a simulation is to treat it as an interactive case where learning takes place before, during, and after the simulation.”[2]Assigning an independent policy writing assignment in addition to the simulation has significant benefits for student learning.

Abstract:
This article is about the suicide of the chief of police of a small Canadian town, which - according to some - did not actually happen. While employed as a researcher and writer with a museum in Port Moody, British Columbia, the author heard this story as one of many told by the ‘old-timers’ who assisted with the writing of a history book. The controversy over the potential suicide provided the means by which this article reflects on issues of ethics, advocacy, and performance when doing public history. The main request of the old-timers was to ‘put the good stories in’ when writing the book. This expectation caused tension between the author and the museum, reflecting the divide between doing ‘history’ and ‘heritage’. This article draws on Anthropological theories of ‘complicity’ and performance in storytelling to make sense of the author’s role within the context of a museum working to record the stories of long-time residents. The stories of the old-timers were filtered through the lens of early 20th century ideas about gender, race, and class, and affected by a lingering frontier mentality. As such, they wished to see their town’s history told in a very specific way. The story of the police chief’s suicide betrayed this intent, allowing for an analysis of how these expectations can affect the way in which public history is done.

Abstract:
In the mid-nineteenth century, the construction of wooden sailing vessels became the single most important employer in Quebec City. Thousands of people worked as shipwrights in the shipbuilding industry, but ship carpenters were the backbone of the trade. These workers displayed an extraordinary capacity for mobilization, being responsible for some of Canada's earliest labour organizations, starting in 1840 with the Societe amicale et bienveillante des charpentiers de vaisseaux de Quebec. This study demonstrates that ship carpenters' impressive capacity for organization was the result of the trade's remarkable ethnic homogeneity, as no less than 90% of ship carpenters were French Canadian, and most lived together in the working class suburb of Saint Roch. This homogeneity allowed ship carpenters to avoid the bitter internecine conflict that plagued the early labour movement, and allowed them to become part of the vanguard of the Canadian working class.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the work of married women in working-class families in Ottawa in 1871. It demonstrates that home production by women for consumption, sale and/or exchange, together with arrangements of household structures, made a primary and fundamental contribution to the survival of the family unit. Women laboured and their labour was vital. Using the 1871 manuscript census, the study analysed the myriad of ways that married women utilized their available resources to reduce expenditures and to increase the wage-based family income. It was the work of women that provided some protection against the insecurity of inadequate wages, seasonal employment, illness or death.

"Opinions about public healthcare from working-class leaders in Saskatchewan." Thesis, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10388/ETD-2013-11-1326.

Full text
Abstract:
The Canadian public healthcare system is consistently rated as highly important by the public. It is a treasured institution, and concern for its future is understandable. However, despite the valuing of the five principles of the Canada Health Act – public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability, and accessibility – defense of the public nature of the system seems to be waning; the appetite for a certain amount of privatization appears to be increasing. Saskatchewan, the birthplace of socialist governance in Canada as well as Medicare itself, would seem an unlikely place for this occurrence. However, despite a recent incursion of privatized elements into the healthcare system, there appears to be little in the way of fervent opposition. This lack of resistance is especially interesting among working-class people in Saskatchewan, a demographic group who stand to lose much if Canada’s healthcare system would ever transmute into something akin to the healthcare system in the United States. This study was designed to better understand how working-class people in Saskatchewan perceive the healthcare system in Canada, as well as the political, social, and economic factors influencing their beliefs. Over the course of one and a half months in the fall of 2012 I conducted 10 in-depth interviews with labour union representatives and executives. In addition to investigating the beliefs and opinions of my participants, I asked them to approximate how their membership would view similar issues and questions. The results illustrate a public that is being influenced heavily by neoliberal rhetoric, including the ethos of individualism, and mostly one-sided media messages about a so-called ‘crisis’ in Canada’s public healthcare system. It appears as though the public has grown somewhat apathetic about social programs like Medicare. This combination is a perfect storm of conditions that has the potential to fundamentally change the nature of Medicare in Canada. Everyone in Canada - as funders and users of the system - has a stake in the future of Medicare. Policy changes to Medicare need to be informed by a better understanding of the influences on people’s opinions of the system.

Cole, Stephen J. "Commissioning consent : an investigation of the Royal Commission on the Relations of Labour and Capital, 1886-1889." Thesis, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/1974/963.

Full text
Abstract:
The 1880s were turbulent years in the Dominion. Under the auspices of the National Policy, Canada was in the midst of a social and political ‘transformation.’ The social and cultural aspects of this transformation became a source of public debate as the ‘Labour Question’ and the relations between labour and capital reached a high mark of political and economic significance. Waves of strikes and the emergence of large international labour organizations challenged many liberal Victorian ideas about a strictly limited state. Many looked upon the federal government as responsible not only for economic growth, but also for protection from the more pressing problems of industrial life. The Royal Commission on the Relations of Capital and Labour is a testament to not only the turbulent economic relations in late-Victorian Canada, but the emergence of the Canadian state’s active role in social relations. Its very title envisioned a dual role for the Canadian state: to “promote the material, social, intellectual and moral prosperity” of labouring men and women, and to improve and develop “the productive industries of the Dominion so as to advance and improve the trade and commerce of Canada.” However, this thesis argues that the Labour Commission was more subtly designed to enhance the prestige of the Canadian state and install Ottawa as an authority on, and mediator of, industrial relations in Canada. Attention to the formation, activities, and impact of the Labour Commission suggests that, rather than an exercise in addressing a mounting social polarization between “labour” and “capital,” the Commission lends insight into the emergence of a Canadian middle class. It was a carefully-constructed exercise in the assertion of middle-class cultural hegemony whereby such values and understandings as respectability, morality, manliness, worth and expertise were naturalized. In the process, the tension between labour and capital was diminished and in its place were developed visions of social reciprocity and mutual interest. It is in this way that the Labour Commission was an exercise in ‘commissioning consent:’ it placed oppositional voices and wrenching exposés about industrial life in a framework that worked to quell rather than stimulate far-reaching critiques of the established order. The Commission’s formation, methodology and language functioned like an industrial exhibition rather than a pointed social investigation. The evidence presents a thriving economy that had grown exponentially under a wise and paternal government. It also presented a vision of the Dominion whereby the disturbances that occurred between labour and capital could be handled within a conventional language of liberal politics. In addition, social and intellectual elites were fully ensconced in the formation and legitimization of these social and moral understandings. Because it was up to the state to select who would speak for labour and capital, the Commission’s message was not one of class polarization. Thus, exploring who became ‘labour’ and who ‘capital,’ and what sorts of things they said to each other, sheds light on to the emergent strategies of the Canadian state as it sought to understand and influence civil society. The Commission is an indication, even anticipation, of a more activist and energetic state.

"The Joual Effect: A Reflection of Quebec's Urban Working-Class in Michel Tremblay's Les Belles-soeurs and Hosanna." Master's thesis, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.14644.

Full text
Abstract:
abstract: Michel Tremblay, one of the most renowned and beloved Quebecois writers, began his literary career in the 1960s. He is well known for writing many of his works exclusively in the Quebec dialect of joual. The history of Quebec, from its beginnings as a permanent settlement of New France, to its subsequent takeover by the British after the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, all were events that set the stage for the Quiet Revolution. The Quiet Revolution was a cultural, social and linguistic uprising set in motion by the French-speakers of Quebec who were tired of being dominated. Up until the 1960s, the majority of literary works produced in Quebec followed the classical French tradition. The desire in the 1960s to break free from the domination of the English language and culture as well as to be differentiated from the French from France brought with it a newfound nationalistic pride. From this point forward there was a push to create a distinct Quebecois literature. One way to differentiate the works of Quebec from those from France was to include characters and settings from within the Quebec society as well as to have those characters speak in their native dialect. Joual, a dialect version of the pronunciation of the French word cheval, meaning horse, was originally a rural dialect that eventually found its way to the inner city. For this reason, joual was most closely identified with the urban working-class of Montreal. This dialect was also perceived as the language of an uneducated, socially and economically inferior segment of the French-speaking Quebec society. By using joual in his literature, Tremblay was able to depict the social, cultural and economic effect that joual had on this element of Quebec's population. This thesis focuses on the impact of joual on this society through the study of two of Tremblay's plays: Les Belles-soeurs (1965), to show a women's perspective about a socially and economically inferior group, and Hosanna (1973), to show the perspective of homosexuals and transvestites, a socially prejudiced group.

"Supporting Guidelines for Reviewing Reliability-Based Assessments of Onshore Non-Sour Natural Gas Transmission Pipelines." In 2012 9th International Pipeline Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipc2012-90039.

Full text
Abstract:
In Canada, a great deal of effort has been invested into the use of reliability-based techniques for the design and assessment of non-sour natural gas transmission pipelines. This led to the inclusion of Annex O in the Canadian onshore pipeline code CSA Z662 in 2007, which gives detailed descriptions of all of the key components of reliability-based approaches. However, the annex does not and is not intended to provide recipes for using the reliability-based techniques for particular fields of application such as evaluating the acceptability of changes to location class, service or increasing maximum operating pressure. Consequently, the onus is on the reliability/integrity engineer to tailor the approach to the particular field of application and the specifics of the pipeline. This means that even working in accordance with the code, the approach and optimizing techniques adopted by one engineer may be very different to that adopted by another. This presents a challenge for those reviewing reliability based plans, designs and alternatives for approval. The National Energy Board (NEB) engaged Andrew Francis & Associates Ltd (AFAA) to assist them with constructing a set of supporting guidelines to assess the comprehensiveness and safety of reliability based submissions. Unlike customary design reviews, the guidelines are geared towards provoking a reviewer into asking delving questions rather than into going through a ‘box-checking’ questionnaire. Indeed, asking the case-specific and clarification questions is regarded as a crucial step towards determining the adequacy and effectiveness of the measures proposed in the content and conclusions of a particular filing. Simply questioning whether Annex O has been followed is not encouraged and, even when safety criteria appear to have been met (i.e. box-checking), a reviewer is prompted to challenge the reasonableness of assumptions and ask whether safety levels are providing the lowest practicable risk to the Canadian public. One line of inquiring might be: are sufficient data available; are the data reliable; are the data relevant to the case under consideration; or have the data been analyzed using a valid method applicable to the case. Other typical questions would be have the consequences been properly assessed and are the mitigative and preventative measures providing the lowest practicable risk compared to pressure reduction and pipe replacement. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the assessment guidelines and the approach and key considerations for conducting efficient, consistent and fair reviews of reliability based assessments of hazardous material pipelines. In doing so, the paper also identifies some of the pitfalls that engineers conducting reliability based integrity assessments should seek to avoid.
