The essence of democracy is the peaceful and legitimate transfer of
government. In 1995 in Ontario, the omens for a successful
transition weren’t promising. Almost no one had expected Mike
Harris’s Common Sense Revolution to catapult his Progressive
Conservatives from third-party obscurity to victory in the June
election. The Harris manifesto declared its intention to dismantle
almost every policy of the defeated NDP administration of Bob Rae.
Weeks of confrontation and confusion seemed inevitable. Yet, as
Cameron and White compellingly describe, the transition was a
surprising success, involving necessary co-operation between
political mortal enemies. Cycling into Saigon has important lessons
for everyone involved or interested in this key stage of the
electoral process, wherever it takes place.
