she of Mike and the Tories
Once again I find myself in
the.awkward position of
defending •my oki college
friend, Mike Hann, and his
latest round otgovcrnment
reforms.
Okay. I'l1 admit that

Yes, even some of Mute's
staunchest supporters.are
somewhat surpnsod.at the
depth of the emerald the
severity of the ooesoquences.
I mean when—the/dike Harris
-brains -trust borrowed their
•blueprint forgovcrnment
,restructuring from the State
of New Jeremy, many of .us
knew Ontario would -become
.a very different'place. But
.holy coo, Mike!
_Seriously. I think the media.
.as.usual,•has focused on all
the ncgati e.aspects ot'the
Harris -reforms .whish . -
constitute the largest transfer
of r:espanttibility.and costs
onto:the municipalities in the
history of the province. '
Critics,are saying Harris
and hisBay Street•boys
cannotrelate.to the.average
working stiff in Ontario. Oh
please -- just look at our new
lieutenant_governor Hilary
Weston. We: can all ,relate to
Galen and bilary Weston
because they own
approximately the aaMe •
--number of -billions -of -dollars
.as we. Ontario taxpayers,
owe the government. And
what's more, Hilary's first
official act west() donate her
$92,200 salary back to the .
province of Ontario. So you
see, she's just like one of us:
now we're_ it avettkin' for
nothin' !

you realize these people are
so rich that when they take
one of thoso ehnap trips.to
Cuba or the DR. they ;don't
even ask for extra drinks on
the plane so they can stash
those little 1iquorboWes in
their bae.and drink than later
in their room!!)
