The federal Liberal leadership race

Things are heating up in the federal Liberal leadership race. This week we had two of the contenders in Winnipeg - Stephane Dion and Gerard Kennedy.

Stephane Dion has quite a reputation as a result of his efforts to keep Canada united and his forceful stand on environmental issues.

Gerard Kennedy, born and raised in The Pas has a large number of family and friends in Manitoba. He has run the food bank in Edmonton and in Toronto and has served as Minister of Education and Deputy Premier in Ontario.
