Dr. Jon Gerrard- A Vibrant Liberal Voice!

Dr. Jon Gerrard , world renowned scientist and cancer researcher, eagle lover and father of three loving and vibrant children as well as grandfather (as you will see on his website or simply click on his link here jongerrardsblog) is a super guy with a real passion for people and solving problems. Much has been said about what I said or did not say about Dr. Jon Gerrard what I say is this :
Jon faces many challenges and not the least of which is the Conservative Party of Manitoba and the New Democratic Party of Manitoba. He has continued and is continuing to raise money and candidates to provide Manitobans with the best option for governing the Province of Manitoba. Not a big business option, nor big union alternative but an option which takes in the liberal values of compassion, honesty and integrity and one which the average Manitoban can relate to. Jon and the Manitoba Liberal Party are worried about crime, auto theft, environmental degradation in Lake Manitoba and long and continuing to get longer wait times in Manitoba Hospitals. Dr. Gerrard is assembling a great policy team with the likes of Bill Ridgeway and Meryle Lewis in his camp. Dr. Rey Paghktaghan and Pam MacLeod are the Provincial ERC Co-Chairs. Superb young wordsmith Paul Hesse has just joined on as Liberal Candidate in Fort Rouge, Wayne Helgeson, social activist and academic, is a hugely strong candidate in the Inner City, Karen Keppler (hope I am spelling that right) is very big in Selkirk and Dr. Chris Hildahl is expected to come in big in Fort Garry. Dr. Gerrard with his wife Naomi firmly at his side work tirelessly to bring a regal liberal presence to as many events as they can and their work ethic is infectious. The Liberal Dream of 14 big urban riding's is achievable and, as Jon has stated, this could be like the Ontario Election of 1995 Mike Harris where the shift goes to the seasoned leader whom differentiates himself effectively with a down to earth platform. Jon and his team of Manitoba Liberals continue to raise money and fight to maintain and ensure Liberal values are instilled in the Legislature of Manitoba. I fully support his battle and will ensure his voice is heard whenever and however I can. As Co-Chair of the AGM for Liberal Party of Canada (Manitoba) he and his candidates have always been and will always be supported as part of the Liberal family. I encourage all Manitobans to support the Manitoba Liberal Team led by Dr. Jon Gerrard. Dr. Jon Gerrard is the best choice to be the next Premier of Manitoba.
