Mike's Kids
My editor and the publisher were mildly pissed when I submitted this cartoon in the spring of 2001 and complained that it was 'extreme', but they're good eggs and ran it:
At that time the provincial Tories, led by Mike Harris, had been at war with the public education system, the poor and other "special interests" (read: the disabled, new immigrants, etc. etc.) for more than half a decade and they'd just provided a tax break for parents whose kids attended private schools and had launched a lawsuit against the federal government's gun registry. This cartoon came from my disgust at the sum of their policies and imagined the results ...
It's only as extreme as today's headlines.
