Populism and Trust in the Public Service in Canada
Denigrating public servants has been a key feature of populists movements that seek to prioritize the individual and “common people” over “establishment elites”. In Canada, mainstream conservative party leaders claim “Canada is broken” and openly advocate for “getting rid of the gatekeepers,” for example, while right‐wing populists often promote the dangers of the “deep state.” Despite these developments, we do not know whether and how populist a…
Moving Toward a Government Trust Ecosystem in Canada
Trust in government encompasses various relationships, including citizens’ confidence in government, elected and unelected officials’ confidence in each other, and governments’ trust in non-government organizations. In many democracies, including Canada, these relationships have been discussed to varying degrees, with the least attention given to government and public sector trust of non-government organizations and public service trust of politi…
Seen but not partisan
Much has been written about the changing role of unelected public servants in Westminster systems of government and their relationship with elected officials and the public. However, there are no studies comparing how these three groups perceive the role, and what they expect from public servants. This article provides the findings from three surveys of public servants, politicians and the public in Canada to assess how they view the role of the …
The public servant’s role in democracy
This research note reports on the findings from a survey conducted in partnership with the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC). Despite robust debate among public administration experts about the role public servants should play in Canadian democracy, there has yet to be a systematic study of how public servants themselves view democracy and their role within it. We ask: What role do public servants play in democracy? The survey q…
A Province under Pressure
Alberta is responsible for over a third of Canada's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing the country's emissions requires policies and initiatives that reduce emissions in the province. Yet the study of provincial climate change policy in Canada has largely focused on lower-emitting provinces like British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario. This article argues that Alberta is best understood as a “reluctant actor” on climate change, whose policies …
Understanding consultation and engagement of Indigenous Peoples in resource development
Canada’s legal system has repeatedly ruled that the Crown has a duty to consult with Indigenous Peoples when approving and shaping resource development projects that are located on their land or could infringe on their rights. Yet, there are still incidences where Indigenous communities and organizations find formal consultation processes, and the approach to engagement taken by industry and government, to be lacking. We use insights from the pol…
Working Together on Climate Change
Sub-federal governments have played a prominent role in the development of climate change policies in North America. In Canada, four provinces in particular, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, worked with each other and U.S. states, and engaged at the international level, when choosing policy instruments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. How did interjurisdictional dynamics influence the instruments these provinces selected …
Historical changes in the C anadian university presidency
The number of C anadian university presidents terminated by their Boards of Governors has increased dramatically. Examining this phenomenon requires situating it in its historical context, yet there has been little empirical work. This study examines the total length of service and the average years of experience of presidents at 102 C anadian institutions. The analysis runs from 1840 until 2011 and shows that presidents spend much less time in o…
Mutius
Titus's killing of his son Mutius in scene i of Titus Andronicus has often been supposed both a textual afterthought and a demonstration of the hero's stiff Roman rectitude. Evidence of many kinds from many hands shows that Titus I. i is written by George Peele, although the structure of the play as a whole, as Gary Taylor notes, is clearly Shakespeare's. Peelean habits of immediate repetition add to the evidence of disrupted continuities that ha…
