"Bob Rae - Former NDP Premier of Ontario and MP who took the province over when it suffered the worst depression in decades."

When Bob Rae ran Ontario, the population actually declined as people moved to other Provinces in search of work. As Premier, Rae was partially responsible for the economy and empowered to influence it, for the better and for the worse. Rae made the worst choices because he was a well-intentioned socialist who believed that business is inherently evil. He didn't even trust the civil service because it pre-dated the new NDP era where wishful thinking is supposed to trump grim reality. For advisors he drew from labour unions and universities -- places where wrong-headed thinking is common and often rewarded. The impact of his policies can be seen in comparative statistics between Ontario and other Provinces. Those show that Rae exacerbated a slump in the business cycle and turned it into a full-bloom depression.
I won't go into his socialist disposition to perfect mankind. I'll just remind you that he was the one who told civil servants not to wish anyone a merry Christmas -- one example from a substantial record of well-intentioned mischief.
That said, we should hold Bob Rae in high regard because he did something that we all should do, but very few can do. Before his term came to an end, he admitted that he was wrong.
So, do we want him as the head of the Liberals and, possibly, Prime Minister? Hard to say. He doesn't look bad among a group of very amitious politicians who are, almost by definition, ego-maniacs.

"We should go through the list and note the relation/benefit they may have to Estonians."

Thanks Adu. Now we can see that there's none whatsoever, apart from Bob Rae's donation of Ontario money to Estonia.
I wonder how Bob figured that he had the right to do that? If he becomes Prime Minister, do you think that he will do it again, maybe on a larger scale?
What do you think Adu? Should we thank the Lord for injustice if it works to our benefit?
