Belinda: The Political and Private Life of Belinda Stronach
Before I began this book, I knew that Belinda Stronach was a striking
blond university dropout and a former president of Magna International
who in 2003 facilitated the creation of the new Conservative Party of
Canada. I also knew that in 2004 she contested the leadership of that
party and came in second to Stephen Harper. That same year she ran as a
Conservative MP in Newmarket, Aurora (home to the Magna empire), won,
became disillusioned with Harper, joined the Liberals as a minister,
saved the Liberals in a crucial vote two days later, saw them defeated
later that year, ran for re-election as a Liberal, and since February
2006 has been a backbencher. And did I mention that she dresses nicely
and has relationships with such high-profile people as Bill Clinton,
Peter MacKay, and Tie Domi, not all of which have been platonic?
I never thought that Stronach would have got as far as she has if her
last name had been, say, Hall Findlay, and I regret that Don Martin does
little to change my mind. Shut out from key sources,
