September 8, 2006 by Graeme MacKay

Ontario’s Premier, Dalton McGuinty, goes to work everyday wearing a uniform. Dark pants, a white shirt (usually), and a red tie…(always Liberal red and always loosened). Sleeves always rolled up. It proclaims to the people, “hey, I’m in charge, but I’m going to be comfortable while I work very hard at this job.” It may also declare, “hey, yeah, I’m Premier, you don’t have to be scared of me, I’m not Mike Harris afterall.”

Accordingly, I depict him with his Premier’s costume in editorial cartoons. The transformation is chronicled in my Dalton McGuinty Gallery.

The forefather of Ontario’s jacketless, loosened red tie, rolled-up-sleeves appearance was the last Liberal Party Premier of the province (1985-1990), David Peterson, shown here in this official Queen’s Park portrait:

Here is the former Premier of Ontario in a recent photograph:

Please note…

This website contains satirical commentaries of current events going back several decades. Some readers may not share this sense of humour nor the opinions expressed by the artist. To understand editorial cartoons it is important to understand their effectiveness as a counterweight to power. It is presumed readers approach satire with a broad minded foundation and healthy knowledge of objective facts of the subjects depicted.
