While it is true that many objectives are associated with international human rights treaties - encouraging eduation, information transfer, shifts in legal and political consciousness, individual responsibility, and behaviour change3 -1 chose to focus on determinative effects on public policy for three reasons. 1. Mitchell's methodology has to be adapted, as he is concerned with assessing the effectiveness of environmental treaties in addressing intentional oil pollution at sea and his work is situated within a global governance framework, which, as O'Brien notes, differs from multilevel governance by focusing on horizontal relations between international regimes, multinational corporations, and international civil society at the system level.
By Kerry Auriat My intent for this week's column was a smart-alecky list of Christmas gifts and new year's resolutions for the political figures in our lives. To me, this means combining fiscal conservatism with a keen focus on personal responsibility, juxtaposed with an open mind about the vexing social issues extremist conservatives seem to latch on to. When it came to contentious discussions such as the legality of same-sex marriage, many politicians used the debate to split communities into pro and anti camps.
The Winnipeg Free Press editorial Education shell game must stop (Jan. 28) characterizes the education funding process in support of public education in our province as "a shell game." Further, in a year in which property values have gone through a reassessment and where the average property value from the last assessment period has risen in Winnipeg by some 73 per cent, the editorial predicts that school trustees will use this reassessment as an opportunity to substantially increase school board taxes -- something that it refers to as "pickpocketing. The funding of public schooling will always be both a critically important and a controversial public policy issue, and the balancing of our desire for the best possible education for our children with a fair and acceptable level of taxat...

It's unconscionable," said [Todd Russell]. "They are out of sight, out of mind. They're north. They're Indian. It's a sad reflection of our society." He said he doesn't want to turn a tragedy into a political issue, noting successive governments bear responsibility over time, but said there is a government in place now that must act. Russell said Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl should ensure his office investigates the Shamattawa tragedy. "This is a tragedy for the family and the community and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time of great loss," said Nina Chiarelli.

This week we had spectacular news. There was a forcible entry to the national headquarters of a national political party. It wasn't done by a clumsy plumbers' gang acting under the direction of Richard Nixon surrogates who broke in to Democratic Party headquarters in the Washington Watergate Hotel. This led to jail terms and the ultimate resignation of President Richard Nixon. The perpetrators off this modern break-in were much more sophisticated. They were the RCMP and what they did was perfectly legal and authorized by a judicial warrant. They have no risk comparable to the Watergate crew. What terrible crime are they investigating? Some years ago misguided parliamentarians passed ill-advised laws purporting to limit the amount that political parties can spend during election campaign...

In the first in a series of fascinating ironies, in that same election it appears the NDP dabbled in its own electoral mischief. In late 2003, Elections Manitoba reached an out-of-court settlement with Doer's NDP to repay $76,000 in unwarranted expense rebates from the 1999 election. The opposition wants an inquiry and given that [Gary Filmon] called one into vote splitting, they argue Doer has no option but to follow suit. Here, Elections Manitoba rejected $76,000 in NDP election expenses, did not charge the NDP and then made little effort to tell the public what had transpired. Elections Manitoba refused to reveal its rationale or the findings of its investigation, and the NDP continues to deny wrongdoing. In fact, the NDP admitted in a Free Press column last year it had been claiming...
