Ontario

You can thank Mike Harris for that one.

Actually, if there's something that's broken in Ontario, you can almost always draw a line back to Harris about it. Drug epidemic? Harris' closing of mental health facilities. Housing? Harris downloading public housing onto cities. Environmental assessment wait times? Harris gutting the MOE. Transport? Harris' downloading again. Poor municipal road repair? You guessed it, Harris dumping provincial roads and services onto the cities then cutting their budgets.

It's tempting to blame Ford for stuff--and I'm sure the booze-in-C-stores will be a gift that keeps giving, both in terms of social costs and the FOUR BILLION DOLLARS it will cut from government revenues--but he's not done one-tenth the damage Harris did.
