SPPG Fellow Bob Rae on the U.S. Election
September 14, 2016 | By Public Policy Admin |
SPPG Fellow and Faculty Member Bob Rae takes a comparative approach in his examination of the U.S. Election. He notes that the power of celebrity has significant influence on elections, as was the case in Canada with Justin Trudeau’s rise to power. While many doubt that Trump will be elected, Rae remains cautious in this assessment.
Bob Rae was elected eleven times to the House of Commons and the Ontario legislature between 1978 and 2013. He was Ontario’s 21st Premier from 1990 to 1995, and served as interim leader of the Liberal Party of Canada from 2011 to 2013.
He is working as a lawyer, negotiator, mediator, and arbitrator with a particular focus on first nations, aboriginal, and governance issues.
