	The Hon. Charles Harnick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Harnick is the first Attorney General in Canada to implement a Victims Bill of Rights, a bill that provides victims and their families access to more information about the case in which they are involved.
		Harnick practised in the field of civil litigation and, most recently, was a partner in a Toronto law firm.
		Harnick has been involved with the Toronto and District Chapter of the Kidney Foundation, first as chairperson of the 1989 and 1990 March Campaigns (the chapter's primary fundraising effort) and, from 1990 to 1991, as president of the chapter.

	Ontario attorney-general retires from politics - Interim, May 1999
		Ontario Attorney-General Charles Harnick has announced he will not be a candidate in the provincial election, a move that is being applauded by pro-lifers.
		Harnick was first elected MPP for Willowdale in 1990, and was re-elected in the landslide Tory victory of June 1995.
		Jalsevac said the disappointment had three roots: Harnick's staff was in charge of him, instead of the other way around; he failed to exercise leadership; and he fell prey to the politically correct mindset that infects the attorney-general's ministry.

	“I have agonized over this, but I heard it”
		Harnick told the inquiry into the shooting of native protester Dudley George that providing the testimony about Harris was difficult for him.
		When the premier made his remarks about "Indians," Harnick said he was worried he wouldn't be able to convince Harris that the proper action was to obtain a court injunction to have the natives removed.
		Harnick said he is confident the premier's statement had no effect on the later police action.

	Ex-minister admits lying to legislature
		Charles Harnick, who was attorney general in the former Progressive Conservative government in 1995, told opposition MPPs at that time he had been unable to substantiate a rumor an unidentified person said “I want the f--king Indians out of the [Ipperwash Provincial] park” before police entered to remove native demonstrators and shot one dead.
		But Harnick has now testified at a public inquiry that he clearly heard the remark made by then premier Mike Harris, but did not say so in the legislature, because it is merely a political forum in which he did not feel the same obligation to tell the truth.
		Harnick’s admission also is a blow to those in all parties who are suggesting ways of building trust in politicians and encouraging more residents to vote.

	Willowdale
		Provincially, Harnick was able to sneak in in 1990 due to the unpopularity of the incumbunt and the rise in the NDP vote.
		Charles Harnick announced today March 29th (according to a Toronto TV station CFTO) that he will NOT be running in the next election.
		Whoever does replace Harnick -- a nomination meeting is scheduled for April 12 -- will have to deal with the backlash fuelled by hospital closings and concerns about health-care cuts in the riding, which counts the third-largest proportion of seniors (17 per cent) in the province.

		Harnick said he considered the comment wrong and inappropriate and was stunned by it.
		Harnick explained that he agonized over testifying, because he had nothing but admiration for Harris, "but I heard what I heard." He said he now views Harris as human and having made a mistake.

		Harnick's explosive admission represents the first time someone who attended the emergency meeting at the provincial legislature has supported second-and third-hand accounts of Harris allegedly making those remarks.
		Under cross-examination by Klippenstein, Harnick was adamant that was not the case.
		The allegations that Harris used profanity in demanding the removal of the natives have also been supported in testimony from a former assistant deputy minister with the federal government and a band councillor from the local reserve, although both admitted their information was second-hand at best.

	Tories reading axe for cop watchdog?: Sympathy over cop's death, union ads give Tories PR opening
		Attorney general Charles Harnick's recent dressing down of the police watchdog special investigation unit (SIU) is a telling indication of where the troubled agency may be headed.
		A recent ad placed by the union on the Toronto Star and Toronto Sun attacked the SIU for "going after the police for doing their job as we were trained to do it," after two officers were charged with dangerous driving in a high-speed pursuit that ended with the death of a 73-year-old cyclist.
		The usually measured Harnick joined in the bashing by saying that he had "never been particularly pleased about the operation" of the civilian agency, even though he's been overseeing it for the last three years.

	TheStar.com - Ex-premier `shocked' by slur testimony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Harnick shocked the public inquiry into George's death in November when he testified he walked into a Sept. 6, 1995, meeting in Harris's Queen's Park dining room regarding a native occupation of Ipperwash Provincial Park and heard Harris loudly say: "I want the f---ing Indians out of the park."
		Harnick might have been lying when he reported to this commission under oath that he heard you say, `I want the f---ing Indians out of the park?'" Peter Rosenthal, a lawyer representing some Stoney Point Indians, asked Harris yesterday at the inquiry.
		At one point, Linden had to ask the audience not to react to testimony after there was a loud burst of laughter when Harris testified he wasn't told of a large buildup of police in the area shortly before George's shooting.

	TheStar.com - Harris's credibility under attack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Lawyers for the Chiefs of Ontario (a coordinating body of First Nations communities) laid the blame for Dudley George's death on Harris's doorstep, and accused the OPP of bending to political pressure in its decision to send heavily armed officers from the paramilitary and crowd-control units towards the park in the night.
		Even the legal team for Harnick pushed for as much distance as possible between their client and direction of the police actions in the park, in which seven OPP officers opened fire on Stoney Point band members.
		Harnick's version of this statement should be preferred," Harnick's lawyers argued in their written brief.

		Charles Harnick says it's "absurd" to think his ministry had the power to bring the standoff to a quick end.
		Speaking at the Ipperwash Inquiry, Harnick said government officials had agreed to pursue an injunction against the protesters because that was the established policy for dealing with such matters.
		Last week, former deputy attorney general Larry Taman testified that only after Harnick spoke with Harris the morning of September 6, 1995, did he reverse his position and support an injunction to allow police to quickly remove the aboriginal protesters at the park.

		You'd think attorney-general and Tory MPP Charles Harnick would want to quell suggestions that he's considering not seeking re-election.
		But that was the word floating down the grapevine from a friend of Harnick's at, of all places, a Liberal political fundraiser this past weekend.
		He isn't exactly cut from the Premier Mike Harris mould, but his opting out would definitely be a blow for the Tories, who are counting on Harnick to deliver in Willowdale, one of the few winnable seats for the party in Toronto.
