In the book written by Margaret Garb, she mainly focuses in on the Great Migration and the impact it had on the city as a whole. This book was rich with information that zeroed in on African Americans and their role in the Great Migration. Giving specific dates dating from 1910-1960 and specific areas of where these Immigrants settled really helped get an idea of what time and place the population grew.

    Ontario Election

    Ever since Dalton McGuinty was elected as the 24th premier of Ontario it was evident that many drastic changes were made. One of the main changes that McGuinty is well known for is his decision to introduce new taxes. Some of these unexpected taxes and costs that we must now face are eco taxes, health tax, the HST, and hydro bills. However, having a Tim Hudak government would help families when it comes to paying all of these, what seems to be, never-ending bills. In 2007, McGuinty even promised the people of Ontario that he would not hike taxes anymore by signing a contract with the Taxpayers Federation. However, soon after he was seen at the Ontario Provincial Election 2007 campaign commercial admitting to breaking his promise to not raise taxes. Many people are out of work and can barely make ends meet. So when Dalton McGuinty decided to merge the PST and GST to make the Harmonized Sales Tax, it is the people of Ontario that will ultimately pay the price. With HST it will be even harder for families to keep their finances afloat. Family would have to budget for extra cost when just going to fill up more gas for their car. Dalton has already stuck his hands deeply enough in our pockets. That is why the big change that Tim Hudak wanted to make if elected was to put more money back into our pockets. He wanted to give tax relief for families’ budgets by lowering income tax by 5% on the first $75,000 of taxable income. Also he wanted to get rid of the HST off of home energy bills and the cost of home heating. All these tax hikes was one reason why our economy is not growing, therefore this change would have truly helped restore Ontario’s reputation as an economic engine that helps Canada.…

    Choosing Electoral Systems: Proportional, Majoritarian and Mixed Systems Pippa Norris (Harvard University) For Contrasting Political Institutions special issue of the International Political Science Review Vol 18(3) July 1997: 297-312. edited by Jean Laponce and Bernard Saint-Jacques In the past, electoral systems have usually proved one of the most stable democratic institutions. Minor tinkering with the rules and regulations concerning the administration of elections has been common, including amendments to the laws governing election broadcasts, financial disclosure, or constituency redistricting. In the post-war period countries have occasionally switched electoral formulas between d'Hondt and LR-Hare, adjusted the effective threshold for election, and expanded their assembly size (Lijphart, 1994). Yet until recently wholesale and radical reform of the basic electoral system --meaning the way votes are translated into seats -- has been relatively rare. The most significant exception to this rule is France, which has vacillated between proportional and majoritarian systems. In their classic work on electoral cleavages Lipset and Rokkan (1967) described the party system in Western Europe in the 1960s as "frozen" in the mould established at the turn of the century with the enfranchisement of the working class. In a similar way, until recently electoral systems in liberal democracies seemed set in concrete. The parties in government generally favored and maintained the status quo from which they benefited. The critical voices of those parties or out-groups systematically excluded from elected office rarely proved able to amend the rules of the game. This stability suggests that electoral systems are inherently conservative. Nevertheless institutions have the capacity to experience a radical breakdown following shocks to their external environment. In Krasner’s model of 'punctuated' equilibrium, institutions are characterized by long periods of stasis, which are…
