Rae vs. Mulcair

Joan Bryden and Susan Delacourt note that, in addition to calling for Stephen Harper to resign, Bob Rae has turned his attention to Thomas Mulcair.

“If there was any doubt in anyone’s mind in Canada, let me just say that the era of love and good feeling is clearly over inside the NDP. It’s a new regime.”

Invoking Layton’s deathbed social democratic manifesto, Rae added: “We’ve now moved to a world where anger apparently is better than love, arrogance is now better than humility and petulance is much stronger than respect.”
