Bob Rae, MP for Toronto Centre, will be at the Schubert Centre Sunday morning at 10 to 11:30 for a meet and greet session in support of local candidate Janna Francis. He will be in Kelowna for a function at 2 that day. Rae is the Liberal's foreign affairs critic and a former Ontario premier.

More likely, he doesn't need to, cuz nobody wants to hear what he has to say.
