If Rae hadn't been shot in the arse by a Liberal finance minister, he'd be a great leader ... but then again, he probably would have stayed on as Ontario NDP's grand poobah

Haven't found the letter yet, but here's a snippit from Wiki. I know it's Wiki, but I'm still looking.
Quote:
"Parting Company with the NDP", Rae strongly criticized what he perceived as a bias against -- in the federal party, and also criticized the NDP for rejecting --'s -- socialism and for refusing to accept -- and open markets. He suggested that the party's economic policies were insufficient for the 21st century, and that the party as a whole was no longer "worthy of support".

You don't have to prove anything to me. I know there were some mutual hard feelings between Rae and the party. Whether he walked away of his own accord or was asked to do so doesn't really matter.

There's a surprising number of them out today. I was just at the Rideau Centre. At least half the people there are Liberals. They're easily spotted with their red shirts, bags, ties and shirts.
