Immigration: The Conservative Government

Montebello Dept: Meeting with the party's MPs and senators in Montebello, Que. to set strategy for the coming sitting of Parliament, Rae took on the Conservative government's social policy in areas like drugs, abortion rights and immigration in a fiery speech, according to CBC. In the speech, which lasted more than 40 minutes, Rae spoke forcefully about the need for centrism and moderation, sticking primarily to Liberal sacred cows like health care, federalism and immigration and the world needs more Liberal ideals as it struggles with debt, increasing wealth gaps and other problems, interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae said Wednesday. Seven months before the party chooses its next leader, and more than a year after the election that saw it decimated in the House of Commons, Rae was essentially making an argument for the party's existence.
