	Rae Days - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
		Rae Days were a nickname for a 1993 initiative by Ontario Premier Bob Rae that forced civil servants to take unpaid days of leave.
		Rae asked for $2 billion in wage cuts within the civil service, and asked the public sector unions to work together with the government to implement the cuts.
		Rae Days were successful in their original aims however: the government saved $1.95 billion and prevented public employee layoffs.

	Bob Rae's bid for Liberal leadership: Profiles in Cowardice
		Rae is as lacking in principles as he is in the qualities of leadership or ideas for that matter.
		For openers, Bob Rae, who had won a Rhodes scholarship during his student days, believed that it was possible for governments to spend their way to prosperity and consequently introduced a budget heavy on public sector spending and carried a deficit of $10 billion.
		Ruth Greer, who was Bob Rae's Minister Health, launched an active campaign to vilify doctors in the eyes of the public, so that the government would gain sympathy in the government's reducing doctors' salaries.

		Is what Rae heard when she walked through the door to an unexpected barbecue I said I wanted to stop by on the way to go to a store.
		Rae and I told Brittany she had 10 minutes to find what was making the smell, or she would be on punishment for the weekend.
		Rae paused and was looking at him when he took a drink from one of them, and his face cringed up and he looked at her holding the sippie cup up high and cried MOMMA!

	babble: Bob Rae, The Social Contract and the NDP Today
		Rae was an arrogant autocrat not caring for the contract or democratic principles in his methods.
		Rae would never have contemplated doing this, except he somehow convinced himself that the union membership and leadership would choose the Social Contract voluntarily if they understood the facts correctly, and therefore he would pretend that they were doing so.
		It's true that the Bob Rae was elected during one of the worst economic recessions since the dirty '30's and was global in scope.

		One day she directed me to the Bank of England on Threadneedle Street, where the Bank of England bankers were famous for their derby hats and umbrellas.
		Rae became so obsessed with his million-dollar deficit he was prepared to subject welfare people to a means test.
		Rae, admittedly a decent man, the Liberal Party is hardly a party worth considering as a government for years and years.

	We've had enough Rae days \| 27May2006 \| Socialist Worker
		Rae’s “Review” was little more than a replay of the battle fronts he opened up as NDP Premier between 1990 and 1995.
		It was also under Bob Rae that the party of labour opened up bona fide collective agreements with public sector workers and imposed wage freezes and the hated “Rae Days” – reducing the pay of public sector workers by 10 full days each year.
		Every critique of Bob Rae’s record, is, in effect, a critique of the NDP –; like a gun that fires both forwards and backwards at the same time.

	Rae admits 'wrong' in past (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
		TORONTO - Just weeks before ballots are cast on his Liberal leadership hopes, Bob Rae came to the heart of the financial district yesterday to tackle what one supporter called "the elephant in the room" -- his disastrous term as premier of Ontario in the 1990s.
		Rae portrayed himself as a man who has learned a hard lesson, and didn't sound anything like his former self, promising tax cuts and a balanced budget and assailing his old allies in the NDP as outdated, unrealistic and "wrong on taxes."
		Rae focused on economic issues and efforts to convince party delegates he has learned hard lessons from his difficult years as premier between 1990 and 1995.

	ottawasun.com - Greg Weston - Rae's record says it all
		The good news for Bob Rae is that a recent Ekos Research poll shows he is the No. 1 choice of ordinary Canadians to lead the Liberal party into the next election, his popularity for the Grit job presumably strongest among Conservative voters.
		The bad news for Bob is that the closer he gets to the Grit ring, the more his creepy critics are going to dredge up all that nasty stuff about how he almost drowned Ontario in a sea of red ink during his four years as NDP premier.
		In the five years before Rae came to office, about 85% of all the net new jobs created in Ontario were in companies with fewer than 100 employees.

	Eye Weekly - PARK: Farewell to a year from hell - 01.06.94
		Rae's year from hell really heated up when his NDP government decided they had to cut costs by more than $8 billion.
		What labor leaders conveniently forgot in their attacks on Rae was that he had gone to the wall for them just a year earlier in a bitter fight with business to pass legislation that made organizing workers much easier.
		When Rae asked public sector unions to share the pain of government cutbacks through the social contract, he assumed he could convince them to go along -- after all, the cuts were minimal and they were only for three years.

		Somehow Rae managed to ignore the fact that Piper was even there, although everyone else in the room gave him a rousing round of applause for organizing the event.
		Rae couldn't believe his luck when federal Treasury Board president Art Eggleton said the Ontario government could prepare all the press kits and line up the coverage for a joint federal-provincial announcement of the program.

	globeandmail.com: Bob Rae took your questions on the Liberal leadership race

		Rae, you are a former leader of the Ontario NDP.

	Rae's record as Ontario premier too much for Liberals to get past
		Rae alienated some of his party's traditional union support base with the so-called "Social Contract"' that reworked public-sector contracts and introduced the despised "Rae Days"' - 10 unpaid days a year for government employees.
		Rae's NDP government was soundly defeated in 1995 by Mike Harris' Progressive Conservatives.
		All of that still couldn't put Rae over the top, with many Liberals fixated on what they saw as a man who was "unwinnable" in Ontario, a key area for any leader who wanted to secure an election win.

		The outgoing dean of Canadian premiers didn't explain why he harbours such animosity for Rae, but conceded he has disliked him since Rae hosted a premier's conference in Toronto.
		Rae's spokesman Alexander Swann was puzzled by the attack, saying Rae's credentials as a politician cannot be disputed.

	Conservatives will cheer Rae win
		This is the sort of political miracle, of course, which contributed substantially to Rae's short term as Ontario's first and only NDP premier, the kind of negative power which is certain to plague him in his quest for the crown so recently vacated by Paul Martin.
		Rae, of course, ticked off the traditional union supporters by imposing what were called "Rae Days," a ham-handed attempt to force the unions to help cut government spending by taking more days off from their jobs.
		Rae is, as he is always happy to tell you, a brilliant man. A Rhodes scholar even.

	Might he give federal Liberals a 'Rae of hope'?
		Rae has never been a member of the party but also that he was a one-term premier of Ontario whose policies quickly fell out of favour, to the point where his New Democrats were trounced by the Progressive Conservatives with a neoconservative platform, the Common Sense Revolution.
		Rae does opt to run he will likely be able to tap some of the powerful organizational capabilities of the "Chrtien wing" of the federal Liberal party, which includes former Jean Chrtien aide Eddie Goldenberg and Mr.
		Rae's strongest suit lies in his long-held view that the Liberals and NDP should join forces in much the same way as the conservative Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative parties did, and for much the same reason.

		You are correct in as much as Rae Days were unpaid days of leave, not unpaid days of employment.

	Reading Bob Rae :: Views :: thetyee.ca
		Rae's magnanimity about copyright -- "change the name if you like" -- is perhaps the only thing in the world more laughable than the idea that any union leadership in its right mind would bring before its membership a proposal that they accept such a scheme.
		Rae, like Dosanjh and BC's own current Carol James, all typify and speak to a process of "Liberalization" (As in Liberal Party) which has been at work in the NDP for a very long time-, certainly over the course of time since Tommy Douglas in his Saskatchewan heyday.
		I hope Rae does become Liberal leader, it would only serve to show how out of touch with the Left the guy really is. For the guy in the street that doesn't watch the news he won't notice any difference between Rae and Harper governments.
