  Ontario Election 1999 EV Campaign Report
As a consequence of Environment Voters' (EV) involvement in the 1999 Ontario election, the EV Steering Committee requested a comprehensive analysis of the EV campaign.
An analysis of the voting histories over the last three Ontario elections of the selected electoral districts that indicated where the "swing" vote was located or where the most votes might be taken from the incumbent.
Producing the final voting history analysis as it might apply to the 1999 election was made somewhat difficult by the reduction in electoral districts and the change in electoral district boundaries.

An Ontario general election was held on June 3, 1999, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
It was the first election in which the Legislative Assembly of Ontario had a reduced number of seats.

 Ontario Tories re-elected--Harris government will intensify class war
Ontario's right-wing Tory government was re-elected with a comfortable legislative majority in Thursday's provincial election.
In 1998, the Ontario Federation of Labour scuttled a wave of mass protests against the Harris government and plans for a one-day, province-wide general strike ostensibly so that the unions could concentrate their resources on defeating Harris at the polls.
In the run-up to the 1999 Ontario election, the unions split over tactics, with the Canadian Auto Workers spearheading a campaign for “strategic voting”—that is a vote for the Liberals wherever the Liberal candidate was best placed to defeat the Tory nominee.

In an election year, donors can give in any or all of four ways: to the central organization of a party, to a party's central campaign, to a riding association of a party or to an individual candidate's campaign.
