- : When in Opposition, Bob Rae developed quite a few 'squeaky
- : clean'-type policies which, when faced with the reality of
- : government, resulted in him sticking to his guns. This lead to a
- : number of "scandels" and cabinet resignations which, when
- : compared to Liberal and Conservative (and SoCred) governments of
- : our times, were quite petty.
-
- But the issue is the corruption of his administration -- blatant
- examples of abuse of office. Gerald summarised some of them the
- other day. They aren't petty.

- : Bob Rae should be praised for living up to the high standards he
- : set... to compare the Ontario NDP transgressions to those of
- : Mulroney, Peterson, Vander Zalm, et al., are like comparing
- : blemished yet still palatable apples to a crate of oranges
- : flattened by a (deregulated) transport truck.
-
- You should take off your thick partisan blinders, and accept the
- reality that his government ranks with these others. Also, don't
- compare the BC NDP with the Ontario version - two very different
- kinds of governments. Rae should be kicked out at the next election.
