Decolonizing employment : Aboriginal inclusion in Canada's labour market
\"Indigenous North Americans continue to be overrepresented among those who are poor, unemployed, and with low levels of education. This has long been an issue of concern for Indigenous people and their allies and is now drawing the attention of government, business leaders, and others who know that this fast-growing population is a critical source of future labour. Shauna MacKinnon's Decolonizing Employment: Aboriginal Inclusion in Canada's Labour Market is a case study with lessons applicable to communities throughout North America. Her examination of Aboriginal labour market participation outlines the deeply damaging, intergenerational effects of colonial policies and describes how a neoliberal political economy serves to further exclude Indigenous North Americans. MacKinnon's work demonstrates that a fundamental shift in policy is required. Long-term financial support for comprehensive, holistic education and training programs that integrate cultural reclamation and small supportive learning environments is needed if we are to improve social and economic outcomes and support the spiritual and emotional healing that Aboriginal learners tell us is of primary importance.\"-- Provided by publisher.

The doyen of Canada’s Ombudsman literature, Donald Rowat, wrote not long ago of the federal government’s ‘golden opportunity to reduce the democratic deficit’ by instituting democratic reforms through the mechanism of a federal Ombudsman’s Office.¹ His argument for such reform was based in part on ‘the fact that the provinces have been operating successful ombudsman plans for many years.’² In that context, the Manitoba Ombudsman’s Office is, and long has been, one of those successful plans.
The Manitoba office was established in 1970, making it the fourth provincial Ombudsman in Canada after Alberta, New Brunswick, and Quebec. It attempts to
