Mike Harris was one of the best actually. It just depends if you're an ordinary taxpayer/worker or a special left wing interest group. Interest groups hated him because he cut their "freebies". It all depends of who you are. But Mulroney was another crook like most of them.

[alyr315]

Harris was one of the best politicians I can think of. But that depends for who. Lazy ass socialist ( lefties ) of course they hated him, because he would say "get of your ass and get a job. Cut ludacris socialist programs. Socialists hate people with a mind, people who can think for themselves and manage their own dollars. Thats how our grand parents lived. THEY HAD NONE OF THAT government shit, and they were happier, wealthier and knew how to manage ON THEIR OWN.

Mulrooney and Harris were awful conservative leaders.

However, Harper is ok.... no major screw ups....then again the liberal cleaned things up financially for over a decade before they came in.

IMHO the jury is out on harper...hes not great but nor horrible either.

[phreakonacell]

majority of people that will be getting that hundred will only deprive the child and use the money to buy booze, drugs, and anything that wont go towards the child, not everyone is like this, now I know why so many people voted for Harper from Newfoundland. You FOOLS!
