Climate Change Attitudes and Fossil Fuel Extraction and Distribution in Canada
It is widely accepted that the burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to climate change. Our question is: How are the related extraction and distribution activities viewed in Canada? This article analyzes Canadian public opinion data on five supply-side energy policies: expanding the oil sands, drilling for oil in the Arctic, fracking, expanding an oil pipeline, and shipping oil by rail. It applies social psychological models to identify …
Canadian climate change attitudes and energy policy
This paper uses original Canadian survey data to compare support for and opposition to five energy-related climate policies. Results show that Canadians were very concerned about climate change and supportive of the policies. Variation in support and opposition was investigated using logistic regression. We tested models that associate climate policy support with a combination of one's ecological worldview, climate change attitudes, personal capa…

What is Leisure Without Becoming? Assemblages of Active and Reactive Leisure
In answering the question, “what is leisure without becoming?” this article revisits philosophical insights in Deleuze’s reading of Spinoza and Nietzsche. I investigate the relevance of these thinkers to Deleuze and Guattari’s collaboration to propose an understanding of leisure as not only becoming but also as negation of difference and possible repetition of the same in reactive leisure. Leisure as becoming is a vital realization of what a body…
Eventful events
How do transnational summit protests affect local activists and the internal dynamics of organizations and movements in a host city? This paper uses Sewell’s concept of ‘eventful temporality’ to explore the impacts of the G20 summit protests in Pittsburgh (2009) and Toronto (2010) Interviews, and field notes are analyzed to show how the mobilizations enhanced the skills of local activists, increased connections between their movements, changed lo…
Gendered perceptions of time among parents
The perception of time-stress is investigated among parents using 2005 Canadian General Social Survey data employing the time crunch index, also known as the index of time-stress, as developed in the work of Robinson and Godbey and used extensively as a measure in other national survey data. Multiple theoretical perspectives are employed to investigate effects on time-stress using ordinary least squares regression. Gender perspectives on time-use…
Quebec, Daycare, and the Household Strategies of Couples with Young Children
In 1997 Quebec adopted a policy providing universal pre-school daycare for five dollars per day. Comparing Quebec to the rest of Canada, we use the 1996, 2001, and 2006 Canadian censuses to determine the impact of this policy on couples’ strategies for combining employment and child care. As well as increasing female labour force participation, the policy reduced the number of families with a traditional division of labour, showing greater effect…
Reaching Beyond the Net
Using a survey of 359 participants in the 2010 protests against the G20 in Toronto, this paper examines the effects and effectiveness of the different communication media in informing diverse participants about the protest. It finds that the communication networks that surrounded the G20 summit protest in Toronto in 2010 were dense and interconnected. Drawing on Tilly's ‘political circuits’, the survey shows that activists at the core of these ne…
Canadian Families' Strategies for Employment and Care for Preschool Children
Based on the 2006 Canadian Census 'long form' sample of one in every five households, the authors develop a detailed typology of family strategies for employment and the care of preschool children. The analysis is restricted to opposite-sex couples with at least one child under age 6 and no older child or other adult in the household. The typology reveals the persistence of a highly gendered division of labor whereby mothers do more child care an…
Gender Convergence and Life-course Differentiation in the Canadian Use of Time
The distribution of combined paid and unpaid work between the genders is contested and undergoing renegotiation. Time allocated to combined work and available leisure time is analyzed using data from the Canadian General Social Survey for the years 1986, 1993, and 1998. Becker’s theory of specialization proposes near equality in combined work as the product of a gendered division of labour that increases the efficiency of household production. Th…
