CALL FOR PAPERS: NATIONAL SEMINAR On "Hydro-Power Development in Relation to the Overall Developmentof Mountain Regions"



Himachal Pradesh University, Centre for Canadian Studies Development Programme




NATIONAL SEMINAR

On

"Hydro-Power Development in Relation to the Overall Developmentof MountainRegions"

Sponsored by Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, New Delhi

Tuesday, 26 March 2013



Hydro-power is the main energy resource in many hilly regions, including Himachal Pradesh which has more than 2,5000 MW of hydro-power potential in its five river basins. The hill state has followed the hydro-electric potential actively in the last few decades and till now has harnessed 35% of its estimated capacity. Hydro-power development in the mountain regions of India is now at a stage when it is desirable to evaluate the economic impact of this development to check and assess whether the hydro-power projects have made a substantial and positive impact on the livelihoods and lifestyle of the people and their economic development.

At the same time big power projects have been an area of concern for the environmentalists who hold that economic benefits are wiped out by the environmentally degrading impact of these projects on the fragile mountain ecosphere. Although project specific cultural and sociological studies are also being made, yet there is need to assess and evaluate the changes that these projects have brought to the ethos and way of life in the hill communities.

The National Seminar will bring together the stakeholders to engage in an informed debate about the pros and cons of hydro-electric power projects in mountain regions, particularly, Himachal Pradesh. The focus will be on economic development brought about by the harnessing of hydro-power in the state and assessing at the same time its impact on ecology and the socio-cultural life of the inhabitants. Canada being a leading country in the world in the area of hydro-power technology is a reference point for the discussions and for possible partnerships and policy recommendations and exchange of institutional cooperation to build and renew the thinking process in hydro power development in the times to come.





Indicative themes:

(a) Economic development of the mountain regions

(b) Employment opportunities and livelihood viability

(c) Environment and ecological issues

(d) Improving the health & life of rivers after exploitation of the rivers’ potential

(e) Development sustainability

(f) Relief and rehabilitation concerns

(g) Disaster management implications

(g) Evaluation mechanisms of the project affected area/zone after the commissioning of projects

(h) Research analysis and application thereof in the evolving planning and development process

(i) Socio–cultural impacts and responses to them





Recommended style:-

Submissions in MS Word, neatly typed in 1.15 spacing on A4 size paper, having margins 1.5 inches on the left and 1.0 inch on the right. Font name:Times New Roman infont size: 12. Bibliographical referencing should be in alphabetical ascending order and be made on a separate sheet at the end of the paper.



The length of the abstract should be 200-250 words.

Idle No More spreading beyond Canada's borders

First Nations activists in Washington, D.C., to give interviews to American media The Canadian Press, Jan 1, 2013 5:36 PM ET

The Aboriginal movement known as Idle No More continued to gain strength beyond Canada's borders onTuesday as activists embarked on a public relations blitz in the United States.

Pamela Palmater, one of the leaders of the movement, travelled to Washington, D.C. to give interviews to the U.S. media. She said the goal of the media campaign was to raise awareness internationally and force Prime Minister Stephen Harper to act.
"The idea is to put pressure on the Canadian government to pay attention and come to the table," Palmater said by phone. "I was invited to come down and do some media about Idle No More, basically answer questions about why it's spreading into the United States."


In addition to recent events held across Canada, rallies have already been staged as far off as Texas, Hawaii and New Zealand with plans for more in the coming days.'Idle No More feels that any acts that are not in line with peace and solidarity only detract attention from our ultimate mission.'

—Idle No More official statementPalmater said Chief Theresa Spence's hunger strike, now in its fourth week, is part of a much larger protest movement.


The initial spark was the federal government's omnibus budget legislation but it has now become about broader issues like inequality and treaty rights, she said.Palmater noted an evolution in the form protests have taken over the past few weeks, toward increased civil disobedience.


"We did letter writing and phone calls and trying to talk to MPs and, you know, we took that route and it didn't work," she said. "Then we had to move up to peaceful marches and rallies, and that didn't work. So now we're doing all these flash mob round dances, which are more about working hand in hand with Canadians and also keeping the focus on the media. But now you see blockades."



Rail lines disrupted

There have been several disruptions at rail lines over the past week, including one on the main line between Montreal and Toronto on Sunday evening which delayed Via Rail passengers. Protesters have also blocked a CN line in Sarnia, Ont.
There was even a call to set up blockades at Canada-U.S. borders on Saturday, though that move hasn't been endorsed by organizers.It wasn't clear whether local activists would follow through.

A statement released last week on the Idle No More website urged peaceful forms of protest.

"Idle No More feels that any acts that are not in line with peace and solidarity only detract attention from our ultimate mission," the statement said.Palmater echoed that sentiment on Tuesday."We're trying our best to avoid things that would inconvenience Canadians," she said.
Meanwhile, Spence's hunger strike continued to gain support from across the country. A group of activists travelled from the Maritimes to bring supplies to her protest site, located on an island in the Ottawa River across from Parliament Hill.

Demonstrators block Toronto traffic

Dozens of demonstrators took to the streets of downtown Toronto on Tuesday afternoon in support of Idle No More and stopped traffic at one of the city's busiest intersections.
Actor Tantoo Cardnial was part of the Toronto rally and said she got into acting to tell the world the stories of Canada's aboriginal peoples.
"The blueprint of who we are as a civilization — that was attacked by the church, by the government, by corporations," Cardinal said.
Spence is in support of the treaty rights and the "Canadian people have to understand there are two signers in the treaties," she said.

"Those treaties were signed in a sacred way— they were signed through ceremony, through prayer … and it's a sacred agreement."Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan has offered to meet with her but Spence has turned that proposal down. The federal government says it has made an effort to consult with aboriginal leaders and work on pressing issues on reserves like education, clean drinking water and housing.
It points to a meeting held last January with First Nations leaders as proof it is serious about improving their relationship.

Canadian Politics in 2013


More headaches for Harper, Trudeaumania 2.0 on horizon for new year Derek Abma, Global News : Friday, December 28, 2012 4:18 PM


The stage is set for what should be an interesting year in Canadian politics. The federal Liberals are scheduled to choose a new leader in the spring, with most indications showing Justin Trudeau – son of the late iconic Liberal prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau – likely to get the gig. Surveys have also shown Trudeau’s leadership would put the Liberals back in contention for forming the next government in 2015 after years in the political wilderness.



It remains to be seen whether some of the big political stories to emerge in the latter part of 2012 will continue to have an impact in 2013. For example, as 2012 drew to a close, the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper was defending its previous commitment to purchase a fleet of F-35 fighter jets while, at the same time, saying it was reassessing its options in the wake of a new report that showed the cost of such military equipment – at about $45 billion over 42 years – would go far beyond anything that was previously stated.



Liberals and Trudeau

Darrell Bricker, CEO of polling firm Ipsos’ public affairs division, highlights the Liberal leadership race as something to watch for in 2013. “Putting a new leader in place and giving the Grits an opportunity to get back in the game will be probably one of the biggest things that’s going to happen,” he said, “simply because of the person (Trudeau) who’s likely to win. And it will be all eyes on that probably for at least early in the new year through to the actual convention (in April).”



Native issues


Bricker also said there is potential for the Idle No More movement of First Nations protests to become a major political story in 2013 if it becomes confrontational as past native protests have in Oka, Que., and Caledonia, Ont. That, combined with other protest movements, the Liberal leadership decision or anything that’s generally about opposing the Harper government could set the political tone for 2013, Bricker said.
“If you ask me what the biggest story is going to be of the year it’s how the opposition to the Conservative government sorts itself out,” Bricker said, noting that further stinginess in next federal budget in an effort to eliminate the deficit is sure to raise the ire of some.



F-35s
Bricker downplayed the prominence the F-35 issue will have in 2013 because “nobody’s really that interested in it.” “Nobody really knows what the right answer is; different people agreeing and disagreeing with different parts of it, the military having one point of view,” he said. “It’s a complicated issue and, as a result, people just kind of tune out.”



He said the F-35 issue is certainly not for the Tories what the sponsorship scandal was for the Liberals, in which more than $100 million that was supposed to raise the federal government’s profile in Quebec was found to go to companies that did little work for it. “The sponsorship scandal was one that was pretty easy to understand. Guys getting wads of money in envelopes in Italian restaurants – I understand that,” Bricker said. Don Boudria, a former Liberal cabinet minister in Jean Chretien’s government who’s currently a lobbyist for Hill & Knowlton Strategies in Ottawa, also predicted native issues will emerge as a major issue in 2013 as more attention is garnered by the Idle No More protests and hunger strike by Theresa Spence, an Ontario First Nations chief who is demanding a meeting that involves Harper, other high-ranking officials and native leaders to discuss treaty rights. “(Harper is) going to start to the year with a black eye on aboriginal issues,” Boudria said.

Strengthening Tory brand

Bruce Hicks, a political science professor at Carleton University in Ottawa, said Canadians can expect the Harper government to continue looking for ways to sell its Conservative vision of the country to voters in order to strengthen its grip on power. Promotion of the monarchy and its unconditional support for Israel are some previous examples of this, he said.

“The Conservative party is really a marketing creation of taking what is the Conservative-Canadian Alliance-Reform agenda and making it more it more marketable to the average Canadian,” Hicks said. But he added that the longer any government stays in power – the current one is approaching seven years – the more likely it is to face a scandal from which it cannot recover. Such was seen with the previous Liberal dynasty under Jean Chretien and Paul Martin with the sponsorship scandal, and more recently with the Quebec Liberals under Jean Charest with his government’s perceived lack of diligence against corruption in public construction activity.



“The longer a government is in, there will be somebody that has been doing something wrong, and that’s going to come out,” Hicks said. “Some people misbehave. That’s just human nature.” Hicks said the F-35 scandal had the potential to become that big issue that sank the Tories, but he added they’ve already probably taken as much political damage as they’re going to on this file. “They are handling it now the way it should be handled, which is to say, ‘We’re not entirely committed to it, we’re rethinking it,’ and therefore planting the seeds of a policy shift.” Hicks agreed that the Liberals’ leadership convention in April is bound to be one of the major political events of 2013 because of its potential to decide the next prime minister.



“Could somebody emerge on the opposition that grabs people’s attention and catapults an opposition party into government?” he said. “I guess that’s what the Liberals are hoping will happen with someone like Justin Trudeau, or I guess a faction of them hope that will happen with Marc Garneau. And, of course, the NDP are hoping that’s going to happen with Thomas Mulcair.”

Harper's popularity at risk?

Boudria said 2013 could be the year in which Harper’s popularity takes a major hit.

“The NDP has a new leader. The Liberals will have a new leader,” he said. “Meanwhile, the Conservatives have a leader who’s been there for a decade, or close. At some point, the welcome mat, to the extent that it’s still there for the prime minister, is going to disappear very quickly. . . . He’s going to be the only political party leader with, shall I say, battle scars.” As someone who was part of a Liberal government that had divided loyalties between Chretien and Martin, Boudria said once there’s a sense of declining public approval for the leader, a party gets dissent among its MPs.


“There develops a kind of free thinking in the backbench. . . . There’s going to be a view that, ‘Well, you know if I could have my own independent opinion on such and such a topic, I would be more popular than my party, the prime minister or both.”


Canada Passport Fees to increase in new year

Passport office unable to maintain operations without fee hikes, says agency

By Terry Pedwell, Thursday, December 20, 2012 12:00 AM



OTTAWA - The cost of getting a Canadian passport is going up significantly in the new year.

Without the fee increases, Passport Canada would not be able to maintain current operations, let alone offer security-enhanced travel documents, the agency says. New regulations posted this week confirm the cost of a five-year passport will increase to $120 from $87.And starting in July 2013, a 10-year passport will also be offered at a cost of $160.
By March 2014, Passport Canada will also charge an additional $45 to replace a passport that's lost or stolen, something that's currently free. Approximately 55,000 Canadian passports are reported lost or stolen annually, the agency said.As well, anyone ordering or wanting to receive their passport outside of Canada will see fees nearly double.
The agency said it's currently losing nearly $5 every time it issues a passport, and has been financing its deficit by using previously accumulated surpluses that will run out next year. Passport fees in Canada have not increased for nearly a decade, the agency noted.

"Passport Canada is quickly reaching a point where not only will new advancements such as the ePassport be impossible, but the organization's ability to maintain current operations and deliver its mandate will be jeopardized," the agency said in a statement posted on the Canada Gazette website.
"Passport Canada must secure a fee increase to introduce the 10-year ePassport, keep pace with technological advancements and maintain its current level of service for Canadians."

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird announced in October that Canada would adopt new passports that include chip technology and watermark images designed to prevent fraud.The ePassport looks like a regular passport booklet, but contains an electronic chip that holds all of the personal information listed on the second page of the document.The chip - already being used in dozens of other countries - can be read by border authorities to confirm the passport is valid.

Canada is the only G8 country that doesn't currently issue ePassports to the general public, although it has been issuing chip-enhanced diplomatic and special passports since 2009.The new passports will also contain watermarks depicting iconic images from Canadian history.Canadians ordering passports from outside the country will see the biggest jump in fees. It will cost $190 to apply for, or receive, the five-year document in another country, up from $97. The fee will be $260 for the 10-year version requested under the same circumstances.

The cost of a child's passport is also going up to $57, an increase of $20, if ordered domestically. It'll cost $100 if the child's application is processed outside Canada.The increases may be too much of a burden for seniors or low-income Canadians, Passport Canada acknowledged in the regulations."Consultations have demonstrated that some segments of the Canadian population may be more sensitive to an increase in passport fees," the agency said in its cost-benefit analysis.


The solution suggested? Alternative travel documents, or none at all."Canadians unsatisfied with the passport fee increase may also choose an alternative travel document, such as a NEXUS card," the agency said."Or (they may) decide not to travel."
The NEXUS card can only be used as valid identification for travel between Canada and the United States.
It currently costs American citizens US$110 to renew a passport in the United States, or US$135 for a new one.In the United Kingdom, an adult passport will set back residents there the equivalent of about $117.

Life in Canada gets more costly in 2013



A new year means new hits to the bank accounts of Canadians.
Employment Insurance and Canada Pension premiums are going up. Workers who make more than $47,400 will pay $891, up $51 from last year, and employers will pay $1,247 in EI premiums, up $72. Workers and employers will both pay an extra $49 in CPP premiums, with workers paying $2,356 in 2013.
The price of mailing a letter is going up as well. Starting January 14, Canada Post will charge Canadians 63 cents to mail a standard letter (weighing up to 30 grams) in Canada, up two cents.
That same day, standard domestic letters weighing between 30 and 50 grams will go up five cents, to $1.10.
Letters bound for the U.S. – that weigh up to 30 grams – will also cost $1.10. Other countries will cost $1.85.
Domestic registered mail will be hiked up to $8.50.
Canadians and small businesses can save money by buying "PERMANENT" stamps. Until January 14, one PERMANENT stamp will cost 61 cents. But after the price hike takes effect, you'll still be able to use only the PERMANENT stamp to mail a 63-cent letter.
In other words, it doesn't matter how much you paid for the PERMANENT stamp. It'll always be worth the current rate for mailing standard domestic letters, so you won't have to buy those 1-cent stamps to compensate for price hikes.
Canada Post says the increases are necessary to maintain service costs.
Leaving the country to escape domestic financial worries will leave you digging deeper too. The cost of a five-year Canadian passport will increase to $120, from $87, on July 1.
The children's passport, for ages 3 to 15, will cost $57 instead of $37.
On the same date, the federal government is introducing a 10-year passport that will cost $160.
Without the fee increases, Passport Canada would not be able to maintain current operations, let alone offer security-enhanced travel documents, the agency says.
By March 2014, Passport Canada will also charge an additional $45 to replace a passport that's lost or stolen, something that's currently free. Approximately 55,000 Canadian passports are reported lost or stolen annually, the agency said.
