Kennedy @ Waterloo

Today our campus club was treated to a special visitor: Gerard Kennedy came to talk to our club! In an event titled "Kisses From Kennedy", Kennedy came and gave a speech to our club. It was very well received, with about 25-30 people showing up from the University of Waterloo and from WLU. It was a death by Chocolate theme, so there were a bunch of chocolates for people to eat during the event as well. Everyone seemed quite impressed with Kennedy's content and speaking style, almost universally agreed that he really is a great candidate in these sort of settings. From his emphatic stance on wanted dedicated transfers to universities to answering some tough questions about Aboriginal rights, he did very well in the event and made it a great success. He even brought along Andrew Telegdi, which is very tough to be able to get him out to events for our club.

So we were very proud to host this event. This follows from our club having Martha Hall-Findlay come to talk to us last April back when she was quite lonely atop the leadership race as the only declared candidate, and our wine and cheese social event where Kennedy, Dryden, Fry, and Bennett all showed up to talk to us in a fundraiser for our club.

Coming out to events like this is just another reason why I support and hope that Gerard becomes leader of the party. Crowds big or small, he will come out and speak his vision. It should be very interesting to see how it all plays out next weekend!
