National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views. Make it a daily habit.
On this date in 2001, the author of Ontario’s famed “Common Sense Revolution,” Mike Harris, announced that he was resigning as party leader and premier to make way for a new leader chosen at a spring 2002 convention of the Progressive Conservative Party. Harris, a proud son of North Bay, Ontario, had been Premier since defeating Bob Rae’s NDP government in June, 1995.
“I did not feel that was what I wanted to do at this stage in my career,” he said in making his announcement on October 16, 2001. His was a history-making Premiership in Canada’s largest province. I recall like yesterday interviewing Premier Harris one-on-one here in Kingston when I worked for the. What struck me then, and still does today, is the fact he was a complete master of his brief. He sat before me in his hotel room without a briefing book, nor any staffer being on hand, and answered detailed questions about impacts of his government’s policies in the Limestone City.
