Questions: Kennedy and Quebec
In order to augment the efforts of my Steel City compatriot, I sent this email to the Kennedy camp today:
I administer a liberal blog - steelcitygrit.blogspot.com. I and others have been attempting to bring federalism into the leadership race discourse. Most of the other purported front runners seem to be advancing an approach to federalism - and Quebec particularly - that departs from the Liberal approach of Trudeau, Chretien et al. I believe this should and will become a point of focus in the race.
As far as I am aware, Mr. Kennedy has reserved extensive comment on this issue thus far. Many would love to know his position with regards to the Meech Lake/Charlottetown experiments, the notion of Distinct Society, and the "Quebec as a nation" question. If you could forward me relevant Kennedy comments, or refer me to where I might find them I would be very greatful. I will publish his comments on my blog.
If Kennedy does have an inclination towards a more symmetrical federalism, as some have suggested, than this is an opportunity to really distinguish himself from the field. I look forward to a response. Not to sound like a broken record, but this is an issue we need to zero in on.

Hopefully you have better luck with Kennedy than I did with Rae.
Either way, you are right. This is an issue we, as a party, need to zero in on. Kennedy has been quite silent on the issue. Perhaps its too much time on the provincial scene, but these are questions that he must answer.
ask all of em
This site is one of the best I have ever seen, wish I had one like this.
