Well that's interesting!
MacRae served as the Liberal MP for Glengarry from 1935 to 1940. He was one of the few Liberals to cross to the Conservative-based National Government label in 1940. It didn't work out well for him, nor for the Conservatives whom the Liberals crushed in that general election.
