As a student at Gordon Junior High of Washington, D.C., the then-'''"Bobby" Rae''' competed in a middle-school version of [[It's Academic]] that was run in the summer of 1961. He later moved back to his native Canada and became the premier of Ontario from 1990 to 1995. In 2006, he was a candidate for the leadership of the Liberal Party but was eliminated in the penultimate convention ballot, leaving Canada just a few delegates short of filling both its [[Stephen Harper|Prime Minister]] and Official Leader of the Opposition posts with quizbowl alumni. The U.S. has a chance to take the lead in this arena if [[Hillary Clinton]] is elected President in 2008 and the Republicans' highest-ranking official is a quizbowl alum; however, neither current House Minority Leader John Boehner nor Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have any known quizbowl background.
