Mike Harris at Ipperwash Inquiry

FOREST, Ont.- ­While the crisis at Ipperwash Provincial Park was spinning out of control a decade ago, then-premier Mike Harris was detached from the fray.

Or at least that is the picture Harris painted of himself here yesterday in his long-awaited testimony to the Ipperwash inquiry. Harris told the inquiry he played golf, attended a black tie dinner and held a cabinet meeting on other business while decisions were being made that led up to the police slaying of an unarmed native protestor [Dudley George] at Ipperwash Provincial Park in September of 1995.

Furthermore, to the extent that he was involved in those decisions, Harris testified he merely went along with a consensus developed among provincial bureaucrats and the police.

If Harris was angry about having to appear before an inquiry he had long attempted to forestall, he didn't show it yesterday as he testified for more than five hours at the Forest community centre just a few kilometres from the park.
