### Aftermath and legacy
""foundation of education in the province."" → ""foundation of education in the province"." per MOS:LQ
Done.
As mentioned below, the heavy quoting in the second paragraph borders on overquoting; are there areas where you feel it can be trimmed down/paraphrased without losing the message?
Paraphrased one of the quotes, but it looks like the Earwigs score is also being spiked by some long proper titles of bills and organizations, e.g. Fewer School Boards Act, Ontario Teachers' Federation, etc.
No colon needed after "among leaders of the teachers' unions"
Done.
""...of the opposition on the education front."" → ""...of the opposition on the education front"." per MOS:LQ
Done.
"During and in the aftermath" → "During and after"
Done.
"during coverage of subsequent labour disputes"

### References
An access date is needed on [2] (Crisis? What Crisis?)
Done.
Glasbeek is put in the bibliography section but is actually only referenced once and can probably be moved to the main reflist
Done.
World Socialist Web Site is marked as unreliable on one of my scripts, but since it appears to be referencing basic factual information and not being used for value judgment, I'm ok with it


### General comments
Images are properly licensed and relevant to the article
I don't particularly love the placement of the Mike Harris photo due to the MOS:SANDWICH issue happening, but I'm also not sure if there's a better place for it
No stability concerns in the revision history
Earwig score is a little high due to attributed direct quotes
Mostly minor prose/MOS things! Putting on hold for now to allow nominator to address comments. — GhostRiver 17:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
