Unions in the Time of Revolution

Government Restructuring in Alberta and Ontario

By: Yonatan Reshef,Sandra Rastin

The election of neo-conservative governments in Alberta and Ontario in the early 1990s brought dramatic changes to provincial public policy; both the Ralph Klein Revolution and Mike Harris' Common Sense Revolution emphasized fundamental changes in the role of government, balanced budgets, and the elimination of provincial debts. While public sector unions were forced to react, the response of the Alberta and Ontario unions differed significantly. The reasons, outcome, and long-term impact of the difference is the focus of Yonatan Reshef and Sandra Rastin's careful and revealing analysis. The authors' argument concentrates on union responses to the neo-conservative transformation in the two affected provinces, but the scope of the discussion expands to cover such issues as the differences between the two regimes, the damage to the Ontario labour movement dealt by the labour-oriented NDP government, the limits of inter-union cooperation, and the role of modern unions in politics. Lively and timely, Unions in the Time of Revolution places Canada's unions in the full context of the neo-conservative trend in provincial politics, and demonstrates the importance of individual union responses in times of such significant change.

Under two Moons

By: Sandra Steadman

Organised and level-headed Leah wakes up on a distant planet called Minvela. The questions of how she got there and how she can get back home to Earth fade into insignificance when encountering an enormous problem. All her emotions are amplified to extraordinary levels and have taken over her normally calm and analytical mind. There are some familiar faces among all the strangers. It seems she didn’t come here alone. A group of fellow students from Earth have come too and are already settled in their new surroundings. There is, however, a catch – she despises and distrusts all of them. After all they have more than a little bad history together. School wasn’t a picnic. Her questionable and unwanted ally turns out to be Ben. Together they have to figure out how to fulfil a calling that is a far cry from what she thought her life would ever be. But how much can she trust this guy who saved her life if she cannot trust herself?
