Gerard Michael Kennedy (born July 24, 1960) is a Canadian politician in Ontario, Canada. He served as Ontario's Minister of Education from 2003 to 2006, when he resigned to make an unsuccessful bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. Kennedy previously ran for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party, losing to former premier Dalton McGuinty on the final ballot. He lost the 2012 Ontario Liberal leadership race.
While attending the University of Alberta in Edmonton, he became involved in the local food bank, eventually becoming its first executive director in 1983. In 1986, he moved to Toronto to run the Daily Bread Food Bank and did so until he entered politics, in 1996.
He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as an Ontario Liberal Party Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) in a 1996 by-election to replace former premier Bob Rae in the York South constituency. In the 1999 and 2003 general elections, he was elected to represent the new Parkdale—High Park constituency. He became the province's Minister of Education in 2003, serving in McGuinty's first government.

Notwithstanding the fact that his father was mayor of Le Pas, Manitoba and his mother was a strong advocate of public service, Gerard Kennedy's entry into politics was due in large part to the controversial policies of Ontario Premier Mike Harris. The Liberal MP from Parkdale-High Park's athletic prowess as a young boy earned him a hockey scholarship to the prestigious St John's-Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg.

Rudy this time. Terrible special effects, but overall watchable blast from the past. Classic aviation drama in the mid 80's. Commercials included - The car commercials are a trip, aren't they??
