separatism and bolster Alberta autonomy, the Fair Deal gamble may end up setting Alberta backwards on both counts” (106). To what extent Kenney intended to quell rather than agitate sentiments of regionalism is debatable. Nevertheless, Wesley’s analysis of the popularity of the Fair Deal strategy among Albertan voters corroborates the claim that these conflict-based politics were unsuccessful by any measure. Finally, Melanee Thomas unpacks how representation theory can contribute to the growing literature on the instrumentalization of gender in Canadian conservatism. In terms of descriptive, substantive, symbolic and affective representation, the UCP is found to be lacking; indeed, Thomas explains that the UCP “use gender and progressive language when it helps craft a useful victim narrative, and otherwise ignore or refuse to sincerely address gendered issues or policies that differently affect women” (163). With Alberta at the heart of the Canadian right, these chapters represent crucial case studies with implications for both provincial and federal politics. The collection’s overarching analysis of the UCP government hits its stride when discussing specific policy sectors through periods of animosity and “boondoggles” (to use Kenney’s terminology). Case studies by Gillian Steward, Charles Webber and Lisa Young cover health care, public education and post-secondary education, respectively. Lori Williams concludes this section with an overarching chapter on the UCP government’s war with labour before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Williams observes that the aforementioned antagonistic style of rhetoric, which she argues has been “uncompromising and needlessly punitive” (395), was also pointed inward at the public sector in Alberta. Williams concludes that in their negotiations with the Alberta Medical Association and the Alberta Teachers’ Association (among others), Kenney and his cabinet misjudged Alberta’s political culture and the subsequent unpopularity of curbing public spending with such aggression. Duane Bratt’s analysis of “Public Kenney” and “Private Kenney” and their approach to energy and environmental policy is an excellent example of the asymmetry between UCP rhetoric and action. As a whole, the collection successfully scrutinizes this distinct political theatre and Janus-faced nature of Kenney’s campaigns and policies. Nevertheless, Blue Storm’s true strength lies within specific chapters, such as those discussed above, that focus on the most pressing questions and their deeper implications. These chapters do justice to a roller coaster of a brief political era that will have a lasting impact within Alberta, providing a crucial case study for conservatism and politics in Canada.

Abstract Focusing on four jurisdictions where abortion facilities and providers faced violent attacks following the Morgentaler decision of 1988, this study compares provincial government responses to core feminist demands in the area of women's reproductive health: enhanced hospital access, public funding of clinic abortions and safe zone protections. Consistent with previous research on childcare and anti-violence policies, the study finds that in neoliberal times, the presence of left governing parties in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario generally favoured abortion rights interests while conservative regimes disadvantaged them. The article contributes valuable new insights in revealing (1) the importance of centrist leaders in Ontario and at the federal level to pro-choice policy changes, (2) the significance of feminist critical actors to these outcomes, and (3) major variation among New Democratic Party provincial governments on abortion policy. The conclusion discusses implications of these results and proposes directions for further research.

Abstract In this article, we study how political parties located on the right of the political spectrum adapt to changing electoral and political constraints. Drawing on the concept of policy feedback, we turn to the politics of social policy in the province of Quebec to show that the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), a right-wing party, embraced a more centrist strategy than the preferences of its electoral base would suggest. The CAQ has rejected the austerity policies associated with the previous government and has favoured social policy expansion rather than tax cuts or a quicker return to balanced budgets. We then explore the reasons for this move toward the centre. Our evidence suggests that self-reinforcing feedback effects from existing policies shape public opinion and electoral strategies, which contribute to moderating the actions of this right-wing governing party.

Abstract In Canada, there is renewed attention to the violence experienced by Indigenous peoples in residential schools, by police, through hyper-imprisonment and child removal, in hospitals, and in the contemporary education system. All of these issues are interlinked and outcomes of the carceral state—defined as the policing, monitoring, surveillance, criminalization and imprisonment of people, especially Indigenous and other racialized peoples. In this article, I define and illustrate what the carceral state looks like in Canada. I articulate the current approach to studying the carceral in political science, note the paucity of research in the Canadian context and show where attention has been cast previously. I describe an improved approach to studying the carceral, arguing that a decolonized approach to studying the carceral must be relational and abolitionist, seeking to reduce and eliminate the use of carceral interventions.

Abstract The stability of divided societies is an important and recurring concern in political science research. It has been suggested that distinctive socialization processes in the different regions of divided societies will lead to diverging trends in public opinion. Therefore, we investigate trends in public opinion on key political issues and attitudes in three divided societies: Canada (Quebec), the United Kingdom (Scotland) and Spain (Catalonia). Using over two decades of survey data, we show that these distinct communities indeed have a particular ideological profile but also that there is no indication these differences become larger over time. In other words, we do not observe any evidence for an increasing lack of public opinion coherence in these divided societies. We conclude with some observations on why divergence could not be observed at the level of public opinion but might still be present at the level of party elites.

l’inauguration de la statue de Maurice Duplessis en 1977, lorsque le premier ministre Lévesque incitait ses contemporains voulant condamner tout ce qui précéda la « Révolution tranquille » à mesurer leurs jugements et à ne pas oublier que le duplessisme était le fruit d’une époque lointaine, impossible à appréhender entièrement avec nos critères décalés et notre manque de perspective. De plus, parmi de nombreux textes manquants, plusieurs déclarations combatives faites à l’Assemblée nationale mériteraient également d’être publiées. Je pense notamment à toutes les attaques de Lévesque contre Claude Ryan, l’accusant notamment de vouloir affaiblir le Québec devant le gouvernement fédéral. « On était à genoux, et il voudrait nous faire ramper! », s’indignait Lévesque au lendemain de la campagne référendaire de 1980. On ne peut que recommander l’acquisition de ce René Lévesque. Un homme et son siècle aux bibliothèques publiques et universitaires, même à l’extérieur du Québec, car ces textes reconfirment l’acuité et la pertinence de la pensée d’un grand humaniste, parfois mal compris ou méconnu. Dans d’autres pays, un politicien de sa trempe aurait eu droit à une édition intégrale de ses écrits et discours, en plusieurs volumes annotés et contextualisés.
Maurice Duplessis雕像落成于1977年,当首相Lévesque同时代试图谴责一切宁静革命«»衡量其判决之前,不要忘记duplessisme是很久很久以前的产物,是一个与交错的标准和我们完全无法理解的视角的缺失。此外，在许多缺失的文本中，一些在国会发表的好战声明也值得公布。我特别想到了levesque对克劳德·瑞安(Claude Ryan)的所有攻击，指责他想在联邦政府面前削弱魁北克。“我们跪着，他想让我们爬!”levesque在1980年公投运动后愤怒地说。我们只能推荐购买这个rene levesque。一个人和他的世纪在公共和大学图书馆，甚至在魁北克之外，因为这些文本再次证实了一个伟大的人文主义者的思想的尖锐和相关性，有时被误解或不为人知。在其他国家，像他这样的政治家会有他的著作和演讲的完整版本，有几卷注释和背景。
