- October 2014: The Common Sense Revolution was the policy platform of the Mike Harris government from June 1995 to April 2002. The program included significant cuts to social assistance rates and the implementation of workfare requirements. Critics at a Nipissing University event linked these policies to various provincial tragedies and curriculum challenges.[2]
- September 2023: This program involved major cuts to infrastructure, education, social services, and health care spending. The initiative resulted in the loss of hundreds of nursing jobs and contributed to increased homelessness in Ontario. A public inquiry found that the deregulation of water testing under this program contributed to seven deaths in Walkerton.[1]
