| | Hexapedia - Mike Harris |
 | | Whereas Cunningham was a "Red Tory", Harris represented the party's right-wing and was not associated with the Mulroney government in the minds of most voters. | | | The Tories were reduced to a minority government in the 1985 provincial election, although Harris was personally re-elected without difficulty. | | | Harris sat as a backbencher in William Davis's Tory government from 1981 to 1985. |

| | Voters have lost faith in politicians because they don't follow through on their election promises, Tory said as he faced the media a day after winning his first seat in the legislature. | | | His strength and sympathies lie in urban Ontario, and his challenge is to also appeal to rural, small-town voters, not to mention traditionalists in his own party. | | | TORONTO -- Fresh from a landslide byelection win, Conservative Leader John Tory pledged to be a politician who keeps his word Friday and said he'll scrap the Liberal government's health tax if his party is elected in 2007. |

| | Tory is far from the political outsider, having served as a senior advisor to Mulroney and Kim Campbell and principal secretary to Premier Bill Davis. | | | He raised funds for the Harris Tories (absent from his press kit's detailed C.V.) and worked on the election campaigns of David Crombie and Mel Lastman. | | | This late in the election, when candidates are at their most responsive, we found it odd that Tory should be so aloof. |

| | One example: after he ran for the Toronto mayoralty (having increased his popularity from 3.6% at the start of the campaign to 39.6%, finishing a close second to winner, David Miller) Tory organized and chaired a successful fundraiser for his two opponents, Miller and Barbara Hall, who were deeply in debt. | | | Be they Liberal or liberal, New Democrats or democrats, Green voters or voters who want a green country, or even Red Tories searching for a home, these bloggers believe that Canadian politics should move in a progressive direction. | | | Tory takes after his parents, Liz and John Sr., as decent a pair as has ever graced the Canadian Establishment. |
