Keith Davey, politician (b at Toronto 21 Apr 1926)
Following the Liberal Party's near defeat in 1972, Davey was summoned by PM Trudeau to guide the party's electoral fortunes and was rewarded by a successful election in 1974. Although the Liberals were defeated in 1979, Davey returned the Liberals to power in 1980 as their national campaign cochairman and was brought back in midcampaign to try to revitalize John Turner's flagging campaign in 1984. The experience was not a happy one, and in 1986 Davey took his doubts about Turner's leadership to the public in a book, The Rainmaker.
