It was not until 1969 that the Canadian Staff Band was reconstituted, with full-time officers from national headquarters and laymen from central Ontario corps bands.
The Canadian Staff Band toured Britain in 1974, 1983, and 1990, Europe in 1979, Switzerland and Norway in 1987, and New Zealand and Australia in 1985; the Staff Band released 17 recordings 1969-91.
Canadian composers represented in the band music journals include Eric Abbott, Norman Audoire, Morley Calvert, James Merritt, Percy Merritt, and Kenneth Rawlins.

 Purcell String Quartet
The viola and cello chairs each had two incumbents: Streatfeild was succeeded in 1969 by Philippe Etter, and Hampton was replaced in 1989 by Heather Hay.
In the 1980s it also played concerts in other Canadian cities and toured in the USSR (1980), Cuba, Mexico, and Florida (1986), Japan (1987) and France and Great Britain (1989).
The group continued to premiere other pieces, eg, John Fodi's String Quartet No. 6 'Aus Tiefer Not' (1985), and also became known for its performances of many other Canadian works, eg, pieces by Beckwith, Eckhardt-Gramatté, Pépin, Prévost, and Somers, as well as, for instance, all the Beethoven and Bartók quartets.

 RCR - REPORT OF JAMES C. MILLER, III
Another contrived advantage is the ability of incumbents to pressure donors for campaign contributions when there is little evidence of challenge, and to carry over these resources from election to election, continually growing their reserves in order to ward off any potential challenge.
In sum, an incumbent knows that additional spending on his or her own campaign will be of marginal value in increasing votes (or vote margin), but that spending by an opponent will have a dramatic, threatening effect.
Incumbents have a considerable advantage here: they have taxpayer-paid press spokesmen; they make news, and thus have more access to the media; and they have access to "inside information," which they communicate to, and curry favor with, the press.

 BioMed Central | Full text | The Canadian Natural Health Products (NHP) regulations: industry perceptions and ...
An unintended consequence of the Canadian NHP regulations may be the exit of smaller firms, leading to industry consolidation.
All Canadian products which were on the market on January 1, 2004 (when the new regulations became law) have up to six years to obtain product licences.
This means that Canadian entrepreneurs may encounter greater barriers for entry into the market, particularly for small business owners; however, those already in the industry would appear to have an advantage.

 1994 Stakes High for Congressional Democrats
Incumbents always are uneasy in off-year elections, in which candidates of the incumbent president's party often take a beating.
Among incumbents in those contested seats are five Democrats and three Republicans who are not running for re-election.
However, even a Republican sweep would be unlikely to persuade the Clinton administration to change its Middle East course, which is guided by the wishes of the incumbent (any incumbent) government in Israel, its Washington, DC lobby, and perceptions of the general consensus among American Jewish supporters of Israel.

 TEFL Articles: Accommodation Theory (EnglishClub.com)
Given that speech is to be seen "as an identity adjustment made to increase group status and favourability" (Edwards, 1985: 152), we could argue that in situations when group membership has to be accentuated and supported, speech divergence may be an important strategy for distinguishing oneself from members of other groups.
Scotton (1985, cited in Giles and Coupland, 1991) introduced the term "dis-accommodation" to refer to the shift of registers by certain people in repeating something uttered by their interlocutors.
The taped voice was that of a Canadian, who either converged or diverged on three dimensions, i.e., pronunciation, speech rate, and speech content.

In contrast with the centennial experiences in Canada and in the United States, that started with the 1889 Canadian Combines Investigation Act and the 1890 US Sherman Act, the historical record on the enforcement of such policies in Latin American and Caribbean countries is virtually blank.
Although some countries, such as Argentina and Mexico, have had antitrust laws since the beginning of this century, it was only after the wave of economic reforms that spread throughout the continent in the 1980s that the implementation of competition rules became a relevant issue in the region.
Moreover, in the 1990s, the American and Canadian governments have been active in the current discussions on the convergence of competition policies among OECD countries.

However, incumbents may be required to pass a drug test as a prior condition of return to duty after a leave of six months or more.
Thereafter, incumbents in safety-sensitive or specified executive positions are subject to unannounced random testing for alcohol and specified drugs.
As may be gleaned from the foregoing, the right that an employer may have to demand that its employees be subjected to a drug test is a singular and limited exception to the right of freedom from physical intrusion to which employees are generally entitled by law.

 The Brampton Guardian: Providing Local Community News for Brampton, Ontario 24/7
Incumbent Bob Callahan agrees that gridlock on local roads is the main issue both in Wards 3 and 4 and across the city.
During his term, city council capped residential development in a growth management plan that promises to work, along with a transportation and transit master plan, to address traffic problems and put the construction of roads and other infrastructure ahead of future house construction.
Council's short-sighted policies of indiscriminate growth for growth's sake have burdened our city with traffic gridlock and put a strain on social services, said Tibor Bankuti who is seeking to represent Wards 3 and 4 on Peel council.

 City campaigns on the cusp and the Edmonton mayoralty election of 1992 Journal of Canadian Studies - Find Articles
Visibly uncomfortable in "political" activities, the mayor chose (although less so than many previous incumbents) to campaign by exploiting the natural publicity associated with office-holding, preferring the managed event rather than the walk-about spontaneity of fairs, festivals and exhibitions.(f.33) This approach conservatized her style, moderating her naturally more radical policy preferences.
Some had grown to accept the way the system worked and tended to observe political challengers in the same light as did the incumbents: a threat to the established way of carrying on city business.(f.35) It is not surprising that Canadian municipal incumbents achieve some of the highest re-election rates found in industrial democracies.
But there was no "Janslide." Only one incumbent councillor lost, while one other chose to be beaten in the mayoralty contest.(f.54) The marked definition of ideological division between the two major mayoralty candidates produced voter turnout that was the highest for Edmonton in a generation (since Hawrelak's 1966 defeat).

 A Portion of the Writings and Testimony of William J. Ray, EPB, and Writings About the EPB
In places like Hawarden, Iowa, where the incumbent cable operator faces no effective competition from rival firms, where FCC rate regulation leaves the operator unbeholden to the local officials, and where the management has little face-to-face contact with its clients, it is unclear that the needs of the community will be met by private management.
Incumbent communications lobbies have fewer restraints on their lobbying interests at the state level than at the federal level.
Thus, the incumbent cable and telephony lobbies are able to prevail over the interests of municipal utilities, despite the viability of municipal utilities as sources of competition in the communications market.

 The Baha'i Faith in America as Panopticon, 1963-1997
At the very least, there is a widespread perception among some portions of the community that such subtle signals from incumbents do form a sort of nomination procedure.
The prohibition of nominations and campaigning leads administrators to feel a need for strict controls on Baha’i discourse, and often to the avoidance of even mentioning leaders by name in public, which would be construed as “backbiting.” The ban on campaigning can become a ban on visibility or on any sort of critical thinking.
It is perhaps not incidental that the controls on electioneering and other forms of communication have the side effect of ensuring that criticism of those in power cannot achieve wide circulation, and that the incumbents who exercise that control are reelected every year.

The Canadian Holocaust Remembrance Association had played a significant role in the imposition of an interim mail ban on November 13, 1981, a prohibitory order that was repealed almost a year later.[3] Mrs.
The acquittal might also have been another example of the Canadian penchant for compromise; having convicted Zundel on the second and more significant charge, the jurors were able to afford some measure of magnanimity.

The results of the analysis indicate that party politics does matter, as incumbent governments can (and do) manage to convince the electorate that they can effectively deal with rising inflation or unemployment, and be re-elected in the context of deteriorating economic conditions.
We argue that Canadian political parties obtain such prospective support through efficient campaigning, but also as a result of their reputation at managing the economy.
The results further suggest that provincial incumbents are not held accountable for economic conditions in their province, but are rather punished for national economic deterioration when the incumbent federal party is of the same partisan family.

Although the application of the Act is limited to the activities of persons and organizations within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States,\14\ an international, national or intermediate body is not exempted from the requirements of the Act by virtue of the participation of its foreign locals or foreign membership in its elections.
For example, votes received from Canadian members in referendum elections held by an international must have been cast under procedures meeting the minimum requirements of the Act, and Canadian delegates participating at conventions of the international at which officers are elected must have been elected by secret ballot.
It is recognized that labor organizations may have a legitimate institutional interest in prescribing minimum standards for candidacy and officeholding in the organization.
