Description

His Minister of Transportation is an ex-used car salesman and his first Minsiter of Education never completed high school, so Ontarians should feel safe in the hands of Chainsaw Mike Harris. After all, Ontario's premier is able to support everything he does by a few words of wisdom here and there. In Mr. Silly's Friend: Quotations from Chainsaw Mike, ECW PRESS has gathered the most precious of Mike's verbal gems in one volume. Mr. Harris explains his reasons for slashing everything from health care to education funding, and proves that you don't have to read fine literature—or even know what you're talking about—to become the leader of a province.
