Resistance and Opposition: Analyzing the Defeat of Bill 57 in the Manitoba Legislature as an Act of Indigenous Counter-Securitization Discourse
Securitization scholars in Canada have investigated how settler-colonial governments discursively construct extractive infrastructure and policing on Indigenous lands as “critical” for Canada’s economic security. Less literature exists about how Indigenous activists through provincial institutions counter colonial securitization discourse and legislation. This article interrogates discourse in the Manitoba Legislature pertaining to three “critica…
Explaining the resurgence of Métis rights: Making the most of “windows of opportunity”
Characterized as “Canada's forgotten people” since their defeat in the 1885 Battle of Batoche, the Métis have recently re‐emerged on Canada's policy agenda. How did the Métis, once vilified as traitors of Confederation, come to re‐position themselves as a rights‐bearing Aboriginal group in the Canadian federation? In this article, we apply John Kingdon's (1995) multiple streams model to help explain the resurgence of Métis rights on Canada's cont…
Rebuilding Indigenous nations through constitutional development: A case study of the Métis in Canada
For the Métis Nation in Canada, self‐government remains the ‘essence of the struggle’ for which their political leader, Louis Riel, sacrificed his life in 1885.

In addition to these efforts, the Métis have been…

Just Do It: Carving Out a Space for the Métis in Canadian Federalism
Disagreement over how and between whom power should be shared has led to competing conceptions of federalism in Canada. The model of federalism adopted in theConstitution Act 1867divides power between the provinces and the federal government to the exclusion of Aboriginal peoples. However, pre-Confederation documents such as the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the early treaties suggest that federalism is founded on the coexistence of self-governi…
The Road to Disclosure Legislation in Canada: Protecting Federal Whistleblowers
When the Canadian government unveiled its latest amendments to the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (PSDPA) in 2007, it claimed that federal whistleblowers would now have ironclad protection. Critics maintain that the law amounts to little more than a smokescreen and will do little to encourage civil servants to come forward and to safeguard them from reprisal. This article traces the development of the PSDPA, examines some of the comple…
