‘We have to be ready’ for an election, says Rae
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007Former Liberal leadership contender Bob Rae says he hopes to run in the federal riding of Toronto Centre, adding that he won’t be surprised if he’s campaigning soon against Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.
“We have to be ready,” Rae, one of three former leadership contenders without a seat in the House of Commons, said in an interview with CBC News in Toronto on Wednesday.
“It’s really up to Mr. Harper when we have an election … but by the way he’s campaigning and by the way he’s spending, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see it’s possible.”
Rae cited the Tories’ attack ads targeting Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion as an indication of Harper’s plans.
