Gerard Kennedy for Liberal Leader!

I guess this is the third time I've posted this but we need this man in office as Prime minister but first leader of the liberal party. He's young, he's experienced, he can speak french fairly well, he's of course somebody I'm supporting, I haven't been able to blog lately... because, I have a life. not that it's insulting or anything. Just need to realize i'm a busy guy. I hope Cerberus makes note of this.

Found Something Interesting

Look's like Volpe is almost 100% in the running, check it out here.

Stronach Is Out

Ladies and Gents, I am able to report that Belinda Stronach will not be running in the liberal leadership race. I applaud Ms. Stronach for doing the right thing, she knew full well that she would be more of a detriment to the liberal team if she ran for Leadership.

That being said I was curious to read David Peterson telling Bob Rae to stay out of the leadership race. While Peterson cannot control Rae and what he wants to do. Mr. Peterson is 100% correct in stating that Mr. Rae is just a new liberal. I honestly do not believe we should be turning this party over to someone who has absolutely no history in this party. So I will please tell you that Mr. Rae you are the weakest link, goodbye.

Views From The Left Once Again Endorses Gerard Kennedy

A few days after the 2006 election I wrote that:

Mr. Kennedy is young at a fresh 45, he is very charismatic and has singlehandedly changed the education system in Ontario, it is getting better because of him.

Having someone like him come from the outside of Ottawa will render Tory attacks with the sponsorship scandal useless.

He also ran a food bank which will be very appealing to the NDP constituency because they will definitely flock in groves to Kennedy.

He was born in the west as well, is bilingual and has experience.

This blog is proud to endorse Gerard Kennedy for leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

And today he has decided to run for the Leadership of the Liberal Party, I will once again state my support for Gerard Kennedy's Bid for the Leadership of the Liberal Party.

I stated that he was outside of the Sponsorship Scandal and that is true. But I have met the man and I must say he is very nice and he comes across as a man with a lot of charisma. He is also young at 45, and he will have a huge advantage over Dion and Ignatieff because of his age. He is also a fresh face and I believe he can definitely go toe to toe with Stephen Harper. Whether he becomes Prime Minister, it is way to early to tell.

But I urge every Liberal to think with their head and support Gerard Kennedy. Michael Ignatieff has been out of this country for 30 years and we should not be supporting him, despite the fact I will agree that he has a fantastic mind. Stephane Dion is a good man and he's probably along with Ken Dryden my 2nd and third choices. I urge all Liberals to abandon Belinda Stronach, Scott Brison and Bob Rae. All three of these people have barely been in the Liberal Party. And Rae in particular should not be supported because he has only been in the party for one day. All three of these people have great strengths, they would be great ministers, but they are not Leadership Material.

So I once again will say that Gerard Kennedy has my support and I am going to do everything in my power to make sure he is the one to take on Stephen Harper in the next election.

Harper's Robotic Throne Speech

I must say I was not impressed by the entire throne speech by the Conservative Government. The throne speech is complete pandering to the provinces. Mr. Harper has proven himself to be "nothing more then a headwaiter to the provinces." I am a hardline federalist, I believe that Quebec is no different from any other province, granted I will admit that Quebec does have it's cultural differences but is again just another promise. The Conservative Party has proven it really has no plan except to spew the same five old lines again and again. There is in my opinion, even less accountability from this government then from the Liberals. They are completely paranoid when it comes to the media claiming that it is run by a bunch of liberals, which is total horse shit in my own opinion. I could go on and on about how much I hated this speech but i don't have the time.

Opening of the New Parliament

So today we open the 39th Parliament, well I guess It's going to be an interesting one, I'll be back tomorrow with my analysis of the throne speech.
