Bob Rae was ONDP leader premier of Ontario during a recession.
Knowing recessions don’t last forever he saw that mass layoffs followed by mass hirings would cost the province a lot of money so instead he required all provincial employees take 12 unpaid days off a year to ensure everyone kept their jobs.
These days off were called Rae Days by the media and the global recession that was already underway got blamed on it.
It's so weird to me what sticks with voters and what doesn't.
Someone making an unpopular choice during a bad time: blemished for decades.
Someone constantly acting against the interests of voters, one scandal after another: that's fine.
