| Description | Gerard Kennedy is taking another run at the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party, a post he lost to outgoing leader Dalton McGuinty 16 years ago.
The former cabinet minister, who also ran unsuccessfully for the federal leadership, is joining an increasingly crowded field that includes Eric Hoskins, Glen Murray, Sandra Pupatello, Charles Sousa and Kathleen Wynne.
Mr. Kennedy will officially launch his candidacy Monday evening in London, Ont. In a short video on his website, he issues an appeal for party members, lapsed supporters and even non-Liberals willing to take “a leap of faith.”
“I need you to join me in showing people what Liberals can do at their best: forge a consensus for this province on the way forward that includes everyone,” he says.
A recent poll suggests Mr. Kennedy would lead the party to a better showing than any of the other leadership candidates, though even with him at the helm the Liberals would be running in third place behind the Progressive Conservatives and NDP. |
