Truly a Magic Moment, 178: The Peterson Legacy: An Examination of the Ontario Liberal Government of David Peterson, 1985-1990
From 1985 to 1987, after concluding a historic accord with the Ontario NDP, Peterson headed a minority government. In 1987, Ontario voters rewarded the Peterson Liberals with a massive majority victory in that year's provincial election. Three years later, Peterson was defeated by the same Ontario NDP. Truly a Magic Moment brings together academics and partisans to examine the legacy of the governments led by Ontario's twentieth premier, twenty-five years after that historic swearing-in at Queen's Park.
