La divergence entre principes et politiques: Le NPD, le nationalisme de reconnaissance et le fédéralisme asymétrique en 2014-2015
Cet article est une analyse de la relation entre le Nouveau Parti démocratique du Canada (NPD) et certaines revendications nationalistes québécoises dans le contexte précédant les élections fédérales canadiennes de 2015, alors que la popularité du parti au Québec était à son plus haut niveau. À l’aide d’enquêtes menées auprès de membres du NPD fédéral, de députés néo-démocrates et d’électeurs potentiels, les auteurs examinent quantitativement les…
Back to Blakeney: The Revitalization of the Democratic State
Reconceptualizing Canadian Federal Political Culture: Examining Differences between Quebec and the Rest of Canada
While the concept of federal political culture has been attractive to federalism scholars, Canada has proved to be a puzzling case and generated contradictory results across studies. We test a new definition of Canadian federal political culture using original survey data and find that Canadians have moderate levels of federal political culture driven by a utopian view of federalism in which the promotion of diversity should be achieved without a…

Applied Political Theory and Canadian Politics
Applied Political Theory and Canadian Politics develops a new approach to political theory that combines philosophical insights with empirical evidence to enhance our understanding of the politics that play out on a daily basis in Canada.
Legislative Experiences, Ideology, and Socio-Demographic Background: The “Orange Wave” New Democratic Party Members of Parliament
The “Orange Wave” in the 2011 federal election produced the largest and most diverse federal NDP caucus in Canadian history. This article uses interviews with members of this caucus to study their legislative experiences. It finds that a shared commitment to creating social democratic change generated an overarching similarity in the experiences of these MPs across sociodemographic groups. NDP MPs that were young, visible minorities, and from Que…
Are Canadians Stealth Democrats? An American Idea Comes North
In an influential 2002 study, John Hibbing and Elizabeth Theiss-Morse make the provocative argument that high numbers of Americans seek “stealth democracy,” that is, processes that discover the will of the people without requiring substantial citizen effort. This article applies the concept in a Canadian province and argues that the stealth democracy measure represents an ambiguous amalgam of attitudes that are only loosely related to one another…
Moving beyond the urban/rural cleavage: Measuring values and policy preferences across residential zones in Canada
Despite urban forms becoming more varied, analysts continue to use a dichotomous urban/rural distinction when examining political attitudes. Using geocoding, our analysis of original survey data adopts a four-residential-zone approach to exploring Canadian political values and policy preferences: inner city, suburban, small urban, and rural. We find that an ideological polarization between inner city residents on the left and the rest of Canadian…
Public Policies toward Aboriginal Peoples: Attitudinal Obstacles and Uphill Battles
This paper examines public attitudes towards aboriginal policy in Canada, focusing on evidence from two surveys conducted in Saskatchewan, a province with a large and growing Aboriginal population. We show that although non-Aboriginals are collectively divided on Aboriginal public policies, expressing considerable support for some, but strong reservations when it comes to others; the individual-level evidence indicates that there is a single Abor…
Remaining Loyal: Social Democracy in Quebec and Saskatchewan
When social democratic politicians in the 1990s moderated their ideas and policies as part of a turn towards the "third way," they were assailed as traitors to the cause. Remaining Loyal demonstrates that while third way social democrats in Quebec and Saskatchewan supplemented certain social democratic ideas with more right-wing economic programs, their public policies remained true to the original spirit of social democracy. Drawing on a range o…
Bureaucratic champions and unified childcare sectors: Neo-liberalism and inclusive liberalism in Atlantic Canadian childcare systems
Despite being generally viewed as homogenous, the four provinces that make up Atlantic Canada have quite different Early Childhood Education and Care systems. Through in-depth interviews of policy actors within the four Atlantic Canadian provinces completed in 2011, this article illustrates that Prince Edward Island had an ‘inclusive liberal’ childcare system. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick mixed elements of ‘inclusive liberalism and ‘neo-liberali…
Small Worlds’ No More: Reconsidering Provincial Political Cultures in Canada
The ability of sub-state polities to generate distinct political cultures is an important phenomenon in contemporary politics. For the last forty years, Canadian scholarship has been particularly engaged in discussions of sub-state political culture. This article presents new and original quantitative survey data to argue that, while there are subtle interprovincial variations in political culture that exist even after controlling for socio-demog…
From Liberal Multiculturalism to Civic Republicanism: An Historical Perspective on Multiculturalism Policy in Manitoba and Saskatchewan
Most research on multiculturalism policy in Canada has focused on the federal government's multiculturalism policy or Quebec's interculturalism policy. However, the multicultural policies that have been active in English Canadian provinces over the last forty years have largely escaped scholarly attention. This article begins to fill this gap in knowledge on Canadian multiculturalism by examining the multiculturalism policies of the Saskatchewan …
