Like father, like son : Justin Trudeau and valence voting in Canada’s 2015 federal election
No full textCanada's 2015 federal election was an exiting, as well as a nostalgia provoking, contest. After nine years in office, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the governing Conservatives were defeated by the resurgent Liberals led by Justin Trudeau. Trudeau is the son of Pierre Trudeau, perhaps Canada’s best known prime minister. Analyses of national survey data demonstrate that party leader images—a major component of the "valence politics" model of electoral choice—were important in both cases. Unlike his father, Justin Trudeau was castigated as a "lightweight" and "just not ready." However, articulating plausible policies to jump-start Canada's sluggish economy and espousing "sunny ways," the younger Trudeau was warmly received by many voters. In contrast, Harper's image of managerial competence was tarnished by bad economic news, and his attempt to refocus the campaign on emotionally charged cultural issues failed. The result was a Liberal majority government and a prime minister named Trudeau
Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport Expansion
No full textDeparture waiting area; Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (French: Aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal) or Montréal-Trudeau, formerly known as Montréal-Dorval International Airport, is located in the city of Dorval, on the Island of Montreal and is 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Montreal's downtown core. It is an international airport that serves Greater Montreal, along with the regions of Northern Vermont and New York. In February of 2000, with a budget of C$716 million, ADM announced plans for an extensive expansion plan that would bring Montreal-Trudeau up to stardards with other North American airports its size. The expansion program included the construction of several brand-new facilities, including a jetty for flights to the United States (Transborder Terminal), another for overseas flights (International Terminal) and a huge international arrivals complex for passengers arriving in Canada from the U.S. and abroad.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Bill C-150: A rational approach to homosexual acts, 1967--1969
No full textThe following thesis outlines the historical significance of Bill C-150, the Omnibus Criminal Code Reform Bill. From 1967--69, Canadian law was forever changed when the "omnibus bill," formerly known as Bill C-195, was introduced in December of 1967. The Justice Minister at the time, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was attempting to modernize the Criminal Code of Canada, but his first attempt---Bill C-195---died on the Order Paper during the 1967--68 Session (the 2nd Session of the 27th Parliament). Reintroduced in December of 1968 (the 1st session of the 28th Parliament), the newly revamped Bill C-150 contained many of the same traits as its predecessor. This time, however, Trudeau had taken over as Prime Minister from Lester B. Pearson and was confident in the new mandate given to him by the Canadian electorate. As a result, he appointed John Napier Turner as his new Justice Minister.
Therefore, what Trudeau and the Liberals were proposing was the modernization of the country's family law. For the purposes of this thesis, the focus will deal strictly with the controversy surrounding the Canadian Criminal Code's liberalization of homosexual acts between consenting adults in private. (Abstract shortened by UMI.

Carbon Capital’s Political Reach: A Network Analysis Of Federal Lobbying By The Fossil Fuel Industry From Harper To Trudeau
No full textThis paper provides a network analysis of federal lobbying in Canada by the fossil fuel industry over a seven-year period from January 4, 2011 to January 30, 2018, enabling a comparative examination of lobbying under the Harper Conservatives and the Trudeau Liberals. The network we uncover amounts to ‘small world’ of intense interaction among relatively few lobbyists/firms that control much of this economic sector and the designated public office holders in select centres of state power, who are their targets. In comparing lobbying across the Harper and Trudeau administrations, we find a pattern of continuity-in-change: under Trudeau, the bulk of lobbying has been carried out by the same large firms as under Harper, while the lobbying network has become more focused on fewer state agencies. We argue that the strategic, organized, and sustained lobbying efforts of the fossil fuel sector help to explain the close coupling of federal policy to the needs of carbon extractive corporations
