In
an
essay
published
in
the Canadian
Art online
edition, “Experiments
in
Collective
Form”,
two
Toronto
artists,
Kika
Thorne
and
Adrian
Blackwell,
reflect
on
the
similarities
between
Harris’
"common
sense
revolution”
in
the
1990s
and
Doug
Ford’s
government
of
today.
The
article
discusses
collaborative
public
artworks
made
in
response
to
Harris’
cuts
to
social
housing
and
welfare
as
well
as
his
dismantling
of
local
democracy
in
Metropolitan
Toronto,
policies
which
have
each
been
echoed
in
Ontario
today.
