Incredibly, McGuinty has done relatively less for poor than reviled Mike
Harris, says Linda McQuaig

The thing about Mike Harris was that he always seemed mean. As he happily
trampled the powerless under foot and delivered the goods to his right-wing
base, the former Ontario premier came across as a kind of Canadian Dick
Cheney.

So when Harris slashed Ontario's welfare rates by almost 22 per cent as one
of his first orders of business, you knew what you were dealing with.

Dalton McGuinty, on the other hand, seems like a ridiculously nice guy —
the kind of neighbour who would clip your side of the hedge. It's
impossible to imagine him shooting a quail, let alone an old friend who was
shooting quail... SNIP
