Premier Of Ontario Dept: The ad, posted to YouTube on Monday, criticizes Rae s record when he was premier of Ontario from 1990 to 1995 a period marked by high deficits and one of the worst recessionary periods in the province s history, according to The Star. On Monday, Rae defended his record as leader of the provincial NDP and as premier, compared with the Conservatives and the federal Liberals are vowing to fight fire with fire in response to a new Conservative ad attacking interim Liberal leader Bob Rae that will hit television screens this week. If he couldn t run a province, why does he think can run Canada? says the announcer in the ad, which also claims that Rae turned Ontario into the welfare capital of Canada. The ad begins by stamping the word failure in red across Rae s face. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
