I support Gerard Kennedy

The next few days will see the election of the next leader of the Liberal Party in Canada. My choice is Gerard Kennedy. Kennedy is originally from The Pas, Manitoba. He grew up in Manitoba and went to high school in Winnipeg.

I have had a chance to meet with Gerard Kennedy on a number of occasions. I believe he has what it takes to be the Liberal Leader and to be Prime Minister of Canada. He has an excellent track record in politics, both in opposition and in government in Ontario. He served very ably as Minister of Education and Deputy Premier. He has a very good understanding of provincial issues as well as federal ones. In my view he has the best understanding of the major four candidates of Manitoba and western Canada. In addition to his time in Manitoba, he has lived in Edmonton where he was director of the Edmonton Food Bank.
