They still hate Harris

RE: ‘Common sense’ was anything but. Editorial written by John Cartwright, Chair of the Council of Canadians. The Hamilton Spectator 13 May 24

When the Left fixes its hate on someone, that hate is undying.  The Left fixed its hate on former Ontario Premier Mike Harris, and to this day it can’t let it go, as the article written by the Chair of the pretentiously named “Council of Canadians” amply demonstrates.

Harris became hated by the Left because he proved that taxes could be lowered, government could be made smaller, and budgets could be balanced; and to the Left that demonstration is an unforgivable crime, for it explodes all their myths of government.  That Cartwright still goes out of his way to slime Mike Harris only proves that Harris and his “Common Sense Revolution” are consequential to this day.

Although they are different men, in different times, and in different levels of government, Pierre Poilievre and Mike Harris are confounded together from their common phraseology of common sense government; and the alleged evils of one are smeared on the other by the Chair of the Council of Canadians, out of fear that treasured myths may get busted again.

The hatred of the Left endures forever; just as their errors never get admitted.
