Belinda explains all….
How I missed this I’ll never know…
Belinda Stronach, you remember her right? Of course you do, has penned a small piece explaining her defection to the Liberals. It’s a story of corruption, sex, greed and ambition….No, not really.
It’s really a pedestrian PR effort to explain why her defection, and sudden ministerial appointment (no connection naturally, what with her vast political experience) is good for Canada, is in the best interests of her constituents, and was perfectly natural under the circumstances.
Well thank goodness for that, and here I thought she was an oportunistic brat looking for a quick appointment. Boy is my face red.
Some highlights…
I have been called many things over the past weeks, some of them not very pleasant or mature.
No mention here of “accuracy” you’ll note….
When smart-minded Canadian voters chose a minority government in June of 2004, they were sending a message - get to the work of governing in a way that puts the interests of the country first.
Ah…was that the message? And here I thought it meant that there was no clear mandate from the voters.
My principles have led me to the belief that we need to restore trust and integrity to politics and public life.
You’re kidding me right? Belinda why don’t you just……………never mind.

Belinda would be well-served to replace her speech-writers. “[…] we need to restore […] integrity in politics […]”
Huh?! This from the opportunist defector? But … doh!? … you don’t suppose she wrote this herself
No kidding… grrrr, that woman frosts my cookies.
