	CTV.ca - Mike Harcourt talks tragedy and triumph in book- CTV News, Shows and Sports -- Canadian Television
		Mike Harcourt was never the sort of public figure who was all teeth and hair attached to an afterthought of a body.
		As for Mike, he'd characteristically managed to weather the stormier aspects of the premier's office by being what he termed "a cool guy in a hot province." Perhaps his greatest skill as a politician was the ability to create a consensus between the left and the right in order to achieve a positive result.
		Mike would pay attention to what his emotions were telling him, but his biggest concern was the effect the ongoing media blitz was having on Beckie and Justen as well as his elderly parents.

		The NDP that Mike Harcourt led to victory in 1991, was a party that was, in the words of Canoe Online News columnist Brian Kieran, “rooted in highly moral social doctrine.” This was supposed to be a political period markedly different from the Social Credit years.
		It was ironic then that Harcourt’s government was soon immersed in a controversy that would dog it until he resigned from office.
		Mike Harcourt’s government had nothing to do with the fraudulent use of charity proceeds, but the NDP came under fire for appearing to allow a miscarriage of justice.

		The greatest political lesson anyone can learn is, “Do not disturb your enemy when it is in the process of destroying itself.” The Chrétien Liberals did that in 1993, and the Campbell Liberals are doing that now; keeping a low profile and letting the NDP destroy itself throughout this arduous leadership contest.
