Yikes, the section on the Common Sense Revolution and following seems to be pretty pro-Conservative. It dismisses criticisms against them with little to no justification. A lot of the phrases criticisms as "attempts" or "claims". Far from objective. After some further investigation on my part, I will probably revise this section.

Good please do, I originally wrote this article trying to give a fair and balanced account of the successes and failures, praises and criticisms of Ontario's influential Premiers over the last half century; ie. Drew, Frost, Robarts, Davis, Peterson, Rae, Harris, Eves and McGuinty. It looks like a pretty big Mike Harris fan took liberty amongst themselves to rewrite my article - Chris Gilmore

I find what was written about the Liberal return to power in terms of neutrality, is not neutral at all. Obviously some heavily pro-Liberal supporter has written that section. The talk about a 'hidden defecit' is laughable. A projected defecit is not the same as a hidden defecit. Furthermore, there have been a number of credible reports suggesting that the Progressive Conservative government had begun work on scaling down the defecit before they lost power, and it has failed to be mentioned here. And constant reference to the 'Harris-Eves' Tories seems to be trying to link Harris to the actions of the party a year after he retire, which to me is a blatant attack on Harris and to link him to the unpopular initiatives started under Eves, like the selling of the 407.
