Harrisment:
Mike Harris visits Halifax
October 22, 2003

This classic from the late Tooker Gomberg, produced in 2003, features activists in Halifax confronting the ex-Premier of Ontario, the much-hated arch-conservative Mike Harris responsible for massive cuts, attacks on the poor, First Nations and unions, and killer privatization in Ontario during his party's reign of terror from 1995 to 2003.

Activists confront the ex-Premier at this conservative luncheon in Halifax and are promptly shown what real journalists and social activists should expect when they confront disgraced and deadly former leaders.

The worst ever? Not sure about that....his cuts in some sectors were harsh, but he did balance the budget and create thousands of jobs..I'd have to agree with "snow", one term of Bob Rae ruined Ontario for a decade...

Ever heard of Bob Rae?

Love this video, Mike Harris was probably the worse Premier that Ontario ever elected. The opposition in Parliament called his plan "The Comic Book Revolution", and I think that sums it up nicely.

Way to go.  Glad somebody gave him a hard time!
