Expert on how Canadians vote among first to back electoral reform
Queen's University professor whose writings attracted the attention
of politicians and political scientists believed that only proportional
representation could fairly serve all regions of the country
By Gay ABBATE,
Page S7
Toronto -- On their first date, William
IRVINE proudly informed
Joanne PASCARELLA, his future wife, that he was "a true Canadian."
She, an American who had never travelled to Canada, asked what
he meant. He explained that he came from two founding nations:
His father was a Scottish Protestant and his mother was a Catholic
French Canadian. This pride in representing both solitudes instilled
a life-long interest in how the country worked and helped him
become a leading thinker on Canadian electoral reform.
"He helped move the question of electoral reform from the esoterical
to the mainstream," said Prof. Kenneth Carty, a political scientist
at the University of British Columbia and former student of Prof.
IRVINE.
"He set the agenda for further debate."
Born in Quebec City, the only child of a local debutante and
a pilot who had once delivered mail across Manitoba in an open-cockpit
plane, William Peter
IRVINE spoke mainly French until he started
school at 5. His father, who did not speak French, worked for
the federal Department of Transport and travelled extensively
across the country in search of new airport sites. Since he was
rarely home, his son learned only his mother's tongue.
Prof. IRVINE's later bent for sovereignty stemmed from living
in many parts of the country because of his father's job. After
early schooling in Montreal, his high-school years were spent
in New Brunswick, his bachelor's degree was attained at the University
of British Columbia and his master's came from Queen's University
in Kingston.
On the rare occasions when his father was home, the two would
go fishing, an interest that was replaced by curling and golf
when William went to University of British Columbia at 18. It
was also there that he became interested in politics, majoring
in political science and joining the student Liberals. He left
the party when he began teaching at Queen's because he believed
he needed to be objective.
One night, while working on his doctorate at Yale University
in Massachusetts, he attended a party and met Ms.
PASCARELLA,
a young high-school teacher who taught U.S. history and Italian.
They clicked immediately because they were both Catholic and
shared similar values. They were engaged three months later -
because they married in 1967, he liked to say she was "his centennial
project," Mrs.
IRVINE said.
After completing his doctorate, Prof.
IRVINE received numerous
offers to teach in the United States. Instead, he opted to return
home and join the faculty at Queen's. Professor emeritus Hugh
Thorburn, then head of the political science department, said
he hired him because he was such a promising scholar and teacher.
During his 22 years at Queen's, Prof.
IRVINE published extensively
on political parties and elections and election reform. His 1979
book Does Canada Need a New Electoral System? attracted the attention
of many political scientists and politicians interested in looking
at better ways to choose a Parliament. He was a strong advocate
of proportional representation as a way of ensuring that all
regions of the country were equally represented. He also wrote
for the Task Force on Canadian Unity and for the Royal Commission
on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada, which
were established in 1977 and 1982, respectively, to study ways
of better uniting the country.
In a 1980 article for The Globe and Mail, Prof.
IRVINE criticized
the existing system for enabling a party to win a majority of
seats while receiving less than half the popular vote.
This winner-take-all approach leaves some regions overrepresented
and others underrepresented, he explained. His work on electoral
reform helped influence some provinces to move to a more proportional
system, Prof. Carty said.
Prof. IRVINE took three one-year leaves from his teaching duties
to study the European electoral system. In particular, he wished
to learn more about the German and Swiss proportional systems,
two electoral schemes he preferred over Canada's.
The time abroad was also an opportunity for the
IRVINEs to travel,
something they both loved doing. In 1977 and 1978, he studied
at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. They
toured extensively in Europe during what Mrs.
IRVINE called "the
best year of our lives."
Although he enjoyed research and writing, his great love was
teaching, according to his wife and former students. "I'm getting
paid for doing something I love," he told his wife. Prof. Carty,
a student in the 1970s, said his teacher was "gentle, enthusiastic
and committed." He thought not in the abstract but in the practical,
said his wife.
Prof. Carty recognized his influence by dedicating to him the
book Politics is Local: National Politics at the Grassroots,
co-authored with Munroe Eagles, another former
IRVINE student.
In a letter to his mentor, Prof. Carty wrote that the dedication
was a small expression of thanks for the opportunity to learn
from him, which was the "making of us as teachers, as scholars
and political scientists."
In the early 1980s, Mr.
IRVINE began experiencing problems with
balance and falling. Doctors could not find a cause. By 1985,
while at the University of Manchester in England, his symptoms
worsened and he began to limp and use a cane. He spent three
weeks in hospital but doctors still could not identify the problem.
After he returned home in 1985, he received a diagnosis of multiple
sclerosis. He continued to teach - sometimes using a cane, sometimes
from a wheelchair - for another six years. It was only when his
voice lost its power, and when he could no longer lecture, that
he retired from teaching. He continued to do research on his
computer at home until his fingers became too numb to use the
keyboard.
In 1997, the
IRVINEs moved to Toronto to be near their two daughters.
At no time did he complain about his disease, Mrs.
IRVINE said.
"His strong faith helped him through it." He accepted his failing
health and never felt sorry for himself, Prof. Carty said.
Always a news junkie, Prof.
IRVINE loved watching news shows.
His wife read The Globe to him every morning, always starting
with columns by Jeffrey Simpson, another former student. Prof.
IRVINE
maintained his interest in the news of the day, especially anything
to do with elections or Quebec, even after he entered a chronic-care
facility in Toronto.
Family and Friends describe Prof.
IRVINE as gentle and easy-going,
a nature that earned him the nickname Sweet William, after the
flower by that name, from one of his professors at Queen's.
William Peter
IRVINE was born July 30, 1941, in Quebec City.
He died at the West Park Healthcare Centre in Toronto on April 23,
2008, from complications of multiple sclerosis. He was 66. He
leaves wife Joanne, daughters Margot (a university professor)
and Marie (a lawyer,) sons-in-law John
KOCH and Mark
SHINOZAKI,
and four grandchildren.

Fondly remembered by many nieces and a
nephew in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. Bill grew up in Kitchener,
Ontario and after schooling at Saint_Jerome's High School, he attended
the University of Waterloo where he completed his B.A. and M.A.
in History. While teaching history for three years at Notre Dame
University of Nelson, British Columbia, where he also served
as Dean of Men, he earned a PhD in History from Queens University.
In 1970, Bill began a 36 year career in the History Department
at Mount Allison University. He served as Department head for
eight years, Dean of Arts for seven years, and Director of Research
Administration for three years. A particularly effective teacher
and administrator, Bill was pleased with his many students, 49
of whose theses he supervised, several of whom completed their
own books and articles. Despite his own heavy load, Bill published
a substantial list of works that which will be published in a
bibliography in an upcoming Acadiensis issue. Bill was twice
honoured with the Paré Award for Excellence in Research and Teaching
he also received a Corpus Christi College visiting Fellowship
at Cambridge University, and the Stiles-Bennett Professorship
of History at Mount Allison University. He also was awarded the
Kwansei Gakuin Professorship of Canadian Studies in Japan but
had to return to Canada early because of illness. Bill was one
of a number of Mount Allison faculty who successfully demonstrated
the combination of research and teaching at the undergraduate
liberal arts and science level that provided Mount Allison with
its excellent reputation. Even after retirement, Bill kept abreast
of the literature in his field and was known for his ability
to recall all the details of the hundreds of books and articles
he read each year. He also loved to travel, and although he and
Rhianna explored many places in Canada and the U.S., by far his
favourite place was the United Kingdom; Bill agreed with Samuel
Johnson who said: 'When a man is tired of London, he is tired
of life.' Bill was a faculty member who had an impact on faculty,
students and administration at his institution and he will be
remembered and missed. The family would like to welcome you to
