Ontario’s 22nd Premier, Mike Harris, celebrates his birthday today. In 1990 he was elected party leader and led the Ontario PCs through the 1990 campaign. In Opposition, Harris and his team developed a policy platform they called the Common Sense revolution. This platform took Harris to power in 1995, and he earned a commanding majority mandate from Ontario voters. Premier Harris was then re-elected, again with a majority, in 1999.
