The Question of Ireland (2013) and A History of Stone, Origin and Myth (2016)
Curated Spaces features two projects by the artists and filmmakers Megs Morley and Tom Flanagan. The Question of Ireland (2013) is a cross-disciplinary film installation that attempts to provoke the relationship between the language of politics, performance, and cinema. A History of Stone, Origin and Myth (2016) is a nonnarrative film essay that explores the space between individual memory and national history through the lens of political monume…
First Nations? Second Thoughts
First Nations? Second Thoughts
Over the last thirty years Canadian policy on aboriginal issues has come to be dominated by an ideology that sees aboriginal peoples as "nations" entitled to specific rights.

We conclude that par…

In five years, Stephen Harper went from private citizen to prime minister of Canada. Tom Flanagan was his chief campaign organizer for most of that period. In Harper's Team, Flanagan tells the story of Harper's rise to power - how a small group of colleag
From Riel to Reform (And a Little Beyond)
The most interesting aspect of politics in western Canada is its tendency to generate new political parties. This has been going on for over a century and shows no signs of stopping, as illustrated by the success of the Saskatchewan Party in that province's election of September 1999. Formed only in 1998, the Saskatchewan Party won twenty-five seats as compared to twenty-nine for the New Democrats, thus reducing Roy Romanow's party to the expedie…
