    I like how he is a bogeyman, but what Harris did seems to have been forgotten and here we are with Ford.

      Probably a testament to the effectiveness of conservative regressivism. Over the years I’ve heard parents of the Harris generation say there is night and day difference between the children of before and after the destruction Harris wreaked on the education system. They’re perpetuating a class of poorly educated will continue to vote against their own interests.

        I was in high school in the Rae and then Harris generation. Life in Ontario soured a lot after Harris, it was never as friendly to me.

      And you can’t even really call Bob Rae an NDP, he really was a centrist. Nothing he did should have surprised us. I’d still rather put up with a few Rae Days.

        Some of the things were universally surprising because he was pioneering economic policy that no one had seen before but has since been judged effective and used as a model for other governments.
