Cycling into Saigon: The Conservative Transition in Ontario

by David R. Cameron

ISBN: 9780774808132

Published: 2000

Based primarily on interviews, Cameron and White (both political science, U. of Toronto) narrate how Mike Harris' Conservative Party stunned pundits, other parties, large segments of the Ontario populace, and even some Conservatives with a decisive win in the June 1995 provincial election. They describe how the transition from the rule of the New Democratic Party to a radical right party that threatened to dismantle every policy of the previous administration nearly missed being peaceful and legitimate.
