Gerard Kennedy to contest Liberal leadership

Gerard Kennedy is living proof that in politics it’s really never over. The former Ontario cabinet minister will try to succeed Dalton McGuinty as party leader and premier. Kennedy lost out to McGuinty when the job was last open. This time, the left of centre Kennedy says he will be different from the current Liberal administration at Queen’s Park, a statement seen as a desire to separate himself from the messy and rather shocking cancellation of two power plants in mid-election campaign.  Kennedy previously stepped down from the Ontario cabinet to take a run at the federal liberal party leadership.
