From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trevor Kennerd (born December 23, 1955) was a kicker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Canadian Football League (CFL) from 1980-1991. He was a three-time CFL All-Star and helped the Blue Bombers to three Grey Cup victories, including kicking the winning field-goal in the 1988 Grey Cup. He was inducted into the Winnipeg Blue Bomber Hall of Fame in 1997 and was selected as one of the 20 Blue Bombers All-Time Greats in 2005.
On April 3, 2007, Kennerd announced that he was entering Canadian federal politics by seeking the Conservative nomination in the riding of Winnipeg South Centre. CJOB Radio
While Kennerd has no formal political experience, he can be described as being part of the socially conservative evangelic Christian wing of the Conservative Party, which opposes same-sex marriage, objects to restrictions on hate speech against gays, and favours the criminalization of abortion.
Kennerd has a long history as an anti-abortion activist with the League for Life Manitoba. His pro-life views are in keeping with his religious beliefs: Kennerd is an evangelical Christian who attends Springs Church in Winnipeg.
