How can we possibly move forward with ANY of them? We can't. Gerard knows how to collaborate, he has the best chance within the party and with the other parties. I've thrown my support behind Gerard and will stand as a delegate for him.<br /><br />Just on the one issue of Slots at the Racetrack Program (SARP) - he's the only one willing to discuss it.<br />The others are now suddenly interested in supporting rural issues - they created the problem. Without SARP - we have $1.1billion less going into the treasury annually. Without SARP we have an additional 55,000 people added to the unemployment rolls. Without SARP we are threatened with American-style casinos coming to Canada. Casinos in Canada are losing money for the most part. Will American casinos lose money? No, but the profits won't be going to the provincial coffers either. Where will we get an additional $1.1billion to replace the slots money? Too many questions for me and two few answers. I wholeheartedly support Gerard Kennedy.Jan Mowbrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03434234170109354334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-266147858138161822013-01-04T01:15:08.698-05:002013-01-04T01:15:08.698-05:00Good choice, Steve.

Gerard Kennedy is the formulaic answer to what Kinsella says is wrong with the party, and yet he is supporting the candidate that the party and the government is pushing to win from the inside. and when you try to tell him that, he blocks you on twitter. The party needs change... just as soon as we win this time using the old ways that we all know are tired and keep making us lose. (I don't have anything against Sandra Pupatello, my comments only relate to Kinsella.)<br /><br />Gerard is not only the leader most likely to win the next election, he is the one most likely to stave off an election the longest by actually being able to work with the other parties and stakeholders.<br /><br />he's also got the best shot at actually renewing the party and making us proud to be liberals again.kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037178012346271608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-21643586990736503112013-01-03T14:46:19.691-05:002013-01-03T14:46:19.691-05:00We need to choose the leader most likely to win th...We need to choose the leader most likely to win the next provincial election.
