The End Of The Debate, Gerard's Remarks
The way Gerard handles himself in this video clip only demonstrates to me how a Leader should be.
His speaking skills give him the dominating presence that make it feel like he is the only one in the theatre. The way his voice booms when he is passionate and resonates when he stresses the need for greater human emphasis in politics convey the urgency and importance of everything he discusses.
Most candidates chose to idlely stand behind a podium, a few took the microphone and gave a more personable performance. There is no doubt in my mind that Gerard Kennedy would knock the socks off of a piece of dead wood like Stephen Harper.

He is a good speaker in English. Unfortunatly, he doesn't actually say anything.
In French, he is a terrible speaker. He simply isn't ready to be Canadian PM. And don't give me that shpeel about how his French will improve because he is maried to a francophone. He's been with her for 25 years!
First I disagree he talked about issues that no one else did, such as Party renewal.
He didn't have to go over his stance on Afghanistan considering the Party is moving to his position.
As for his French, you can't give it any type of measure, as there are so many things to include.
I will say that he can converse in French, that is enough for myself.
Undoubtedly, I suspect your reply would amount to:
"I will qualify his french, I'd give it an F or some low mark."
But I reply, to what standards? The Globe had an expert mark him as bilingual; so when the qualifications for the post are bilingualism, Gerard either meets it or he does not.
An expert says he meets it. He may have not got the highest mark indeed he got a low one, but he IS bilingual.
The job does not necessitate the Leader to be the most fluent, but bilingual, Gerard is.
Unless you offer expert testimony otherwise I consider the matter closed.

LOL. Alta Vista.
You should preoccupy yourself with your self-destructing candidate, Ignatieff. Now, he is quoted as calling Bush a "disaster". Iggy is a national embarassment every time he opens his mouth, in either official language.
Kennedy's French may need more work but at least he thinks before he speaks in either official language.
Kennedy is going to get the job done for this Party and restore Canadians' trust in us again.
