Le plaidoyer de la Coalition montréalaise des tables de quartier dans le débat public montréalais de lutte contre la pauvreté et l’exclusion socialePillet, Amandine 06 1900 (has links)
Montréal est une Métropole où des populations de toutes origines, de tous niveaux de vie et d’éducation cohabitent. En tant qu’acteur de santé publique notre objectif est de faire en sorte que chacun ait droit à l’égalité des chances aussi bien sociales que sanitaires. Dans la Métropole, il est possible d’observer des inégalités dans différents domaines, tels : l’éducation, le travail, le logement, l’alimentation et bien d’autres encore. Ce mémoire est une étude de Cas portant sur le plaidoyer de la Coalition Montréalaise des Tables de Quartier (CMTQ) entre le 1er janvier 2011 et le 1er juin 2016 en faveur de la lutte contre la pauvreté et l’exclusion sociale et ayant pour but d’explorer comment est exercé cedit plaidoyer par les acteurs de la CMTQ.
La CMTQ qui est un Organisme à But Non Lucratif (OBNL) positionne la population au centre de ses préoccupations, milite de sorte que Montréal soit une métropole juste et égalitaire et place la pauvreté et l’exclusion sociale dans ces objectifs sur lesquels il est important d’agir pour le bien-être de la communauté. L’Initiative Montréalaise de Soutien au Développement social local (IM) qui est un programme de la Direction de Santé Publique (DSP), de Centraide du Grand Montréal et de la CMTQ, permet d’offrir un soutien financier à des institutions telles que les Tables de concertation locales dans le but d’améliorer la qualité et les conditions de vie des Montréalais. La CMTQ agit en partenariat avec les tables de quartier en travaillant sur des enjeux soulevés par le développement social local, l’amélioration de la qualité et des conditions de vie des citoyens et la lutte contre la pauvreté et l’exclusion sociale. Cette étude a utilisé des données majoritairement qualitatives issues d’analyses de contenus d’entretiens semi-dirigés, de prises de position, de mémoires, d’apparitions dans les médias traditionnels (La Presse) ainsi qu’une analyse de contenus quantitatifs des réseaux sociaux, plus particulièrement Twitter. Les résultats de cette recherche ont permis d’identifier les porte-parole de la CMTQ sur la place publique et mettent en lumière les stratégies et les moyens utilisés par la CMTQ pour exercer leur plaidoyer ainsi que les messages contenus dans ces stratégies et la façon dont les acteurs s’y prennent. / Montreal is a metropolis where people of all origins, socio-economic background and
education live. As public health advocates, our goal is to ensure that each person is afforded
equal rights to both social opportunities and the benefits which make for a healthy life.
In Montreal, it is possible to observe inequalities in areas such as education, work, housing,
and food security, amongst many others. This thesis is a case study of CMTQ’s advocacy
methods between january 1st 2011 and june 1st 2016 as well as their approach to fighting
poverty and social exclusion (in the public debate). In addition this thesis will specifically
explores how CMTQ activists apply their methods of advocacy in order to eliminate poverty
and social exclusion.
The Montreal Coalition of Neighborhood Round Tables (CMTQ) is a Non-Profit Organization
(NPO) that places the population at the center of its campaigns and works to ensure that
Montreal is a fair and egalitarian city that prioritizes issues of poverty and social exclusion.
The Montreal Initiative of Support for Local Social Development (IM), a program of the
Montreal Public Health Department (DSP), the Centraide of Greater Montreal and of the
CMTQ, provides financial support to institutions such as local round tables with the purpose
of improving the quality and living conditions of Montrealers. The CMTQ works in
partnership with neighbourhood councils by working on issues raised by local social
development and also by working on ways to eradicate poverty and social exclusion in order
to better the quality and living conditions of citizens. This study uses primarily qualitative data
derived from the analysis of semi-structured interviews, the examination of official positions
held by the organizations, thesis publications and discussions in traditional media (The Press),
as well as a quantitative content analysis found on social medias especially Twitter. The
results of this research permitted the identification of the CMTQ’s advocates and also shed
light on the strategies and tools used by the CMTQ as well as the contents of theses strategies
and message and the way activists apply these tools.

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of CanadaKinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
