Politics in Ontario

The double etendre of the title obviously refers to Harris' so-called "Common Sense Revolution" and the revolving rather than evolving nature of Ontario politics since the mid-1980s. Although somewhat dated now, the essays still offer an interesting analysis of the nature of politcs in Ontario, and the manner in which Harris and his accomplices managed to Trojan Horse the Tories into Queen's Park and systematically overhaul the government of Ontario.
