Okay, so it’s been ten years since he was the NDP Premier of Ontario and he’s done some noteworthy stuff to distance himself from the days of Ontario’s Great Recession. Mr. Rae, it has been said, was supposed to have had been a contender for the position before the current Governor General was appointed. A report from yesterday’s on-line Globe and Mail gives us the impression that he’s “high on a list of possible successors” for the job.
As you can tell from the Wiki spot on him, he seems like a pretty decent guy who probably wouldn’t take an overblown entourage on European wine tasting tours to “promote” Canada.
Aaanyhoo…
