The long-term question the Quebec vote poses, however, is whether this election is really a historic event, a true shift, or, as seems more likely, just a historical blip that will correct itself before the next campaign. That may depend to a great extent on which of the various Mario Dumonts emerges. The ADQ's showing has been attributed to at least three faces of Mr. [Mario Dumont] -- the cultural nationalist who believes Quebec has gone too far in accommodating immigrants; the fiscal and social conservative who believes Quebec has gone too far down the path of social democracy; and the autonomist who believes in special status for Quebec within Canada -- a nationalist who at the very least believes, as does Mr. [Stephen Harper], that the Quebecois are a nation. In short, he seems as ...
This paper sets the current debate about Canada's criminal law prohibiting polygamy in an historical, social and legal context, and argues that this law is constitutionally valid and sound social policy. Unlike the recognition of same-sex marriage, which promoted equality and saved government resources, the recognition of polygamy would promote inequality and impose costs on Canadian society. The social reality of polygamy is often exploitative of women and harmful to children, and its practice is contrary to fundamental Canadian values. If Canada's prohibition on polygamy is ruled unconstitutional, we would likely have to allow immigration by polygamous families. Western European countries, which allowed immigration by polygamous families in the past, experienced significant social and...

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

The purpose of this article is to explore the effects of counter-terrorism on Canadian democracy and multiculturalism.

There is fresh red meat on the right, however. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has referred to the legacy of 1968 as something that "must be liquidated" because it has created a continuing crisis of "morality, authority, work and national identity" even as he scorns the contemporary left as white-wine socialists. Which is basically what we find most places on the left today, whether it be in France or Canada. Instead of Danny the Red and Red Rudi throwing cobblestones at police officers, today's leftists are more likely to fit Orwell's definition of a socialist: "The typical socialist is... a prim little man with a white collar job, usually a secret teetotaller and often with vegetarian leanings, with a history of Nonconformity behind him, and, above all, with a social position which h...
