“If politicians were superheroes, Jon Gerrard would be Everywhere Man. The leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party… shows up everywhere someone needs a politician’s help. While he can read a budget statement as fast as a finance minister and spot problems in the health care system as fast as he can stitch up a wound, he is fast becoming legendary for taking on a myriad of issues no other politician will touch.”
