Rae, a former member of the New Democratic Party (NDP), was the 21st Premier of Ontario from October 1, 1990, to June 28, 1995, and the only leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party to serve in that capacity.

 CNN.com - Ontario Tories call election after energy crisis - Sep. 2, 2003
Ontario Premier Ernie Eves called an election for Oct. 2 Tuesday, with his conservative government facing an uphill battle to woo voters angry at health and education cuts and the botched deregulation of the province's electricity market.
Ontario, Canada's economic powerhouse, lagged the United States in getting its power plants back to full operation, prompting the provincial government to impose usage limits that left manufacturers operating at reduced speed.
Ontario's experiment with electricity market deregulation last year sent the government's popularity into a tailspin as consumer prices soared.

 ESR | September 13, 2004 | Tories choose new leader in Ontario
Ontario is Canada's most populous province, with over ten million people (Canada's population is around 31 million), and is the destination for over half of immigrants to Canada.
The winner of the upcoming Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership contest will therefore probably be fairly well-positioned to significantly challenge the provincial Liberals in the next election – although it is a number of years away, and the situation could obviously shift repeatedly during that time.
A Progressive Conservative government in Ontario may also assist the recently reconstituted federal Conservative Party (formed in December 2003 out of the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the "ultra-moderate" federal Progressive Conservatives) in winning a larger share of Ontario seats in the federal Parliament, thereby finally offering a chance of displacing the federal Liberals.

If Dalton McGuinty, the leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, becomes premier of Ontario, he is promising to post the names and photographs of "deadbeat parents" on a Web site, and to suspend their driver's licences.
McGuinty's intention -- if he becomes Premier of Ontario -- to post the names and photographs of "deadbeat parents" on a website, and to suspend driver's permits of "deadbeat parents"; moreover, for all of these measure, the definition of a "deadbeat" parent will be one who has missed two child-support payments.
The Ontario Court of Appeal has issued a number of recent judgments which are hostile to paternal interests, against the findings of lower court judges who have had the advantage of hearing oral evidence from the parties and determining which parent is more credible.

It seems like only yesterday when the budget was tabled in the House of Commons and Harper was singing its praises (and of course, indirectly, the praises of the Liberals) and referring to the document as a "conservative budget".
At that time, the leader of the Official Opposition pledged his party’s undying support to ensure that the budget document would pass.
It is helpful to the opposition that the Inquiry has passed the phase of the politicians taking the witness stand and denying that they knew anything.
