www.belinda.ca ...need i say more?
Well, perhaps I should say more...
Belinda Stronach has thrown her hat into the Conservative leadership ring. Before I go on, you should know that I have no idea what this womans' actual political stance(s) are. I'm sure she has some altruistic motives for getting into politics, but I'm also quite sure she has some business related reasons for doing so as well. She may turn out to be the bomb (which is a good thing yo), or she may turn out to be the stereotypical politician who tells us one thing to get elected, then does the opposite when she's in office. We'll see. But, until I have more than a superficial impression of her, here's my superficial impression:
A couple of interesting things about young Belinda (aka Boom Boom). First, it's weird that someone who could be the next Prime Minister is only a year older than I am (she's 37). Second, she was married to, but is now divorcing, Johann Koss, a Norweigian speed skater who's a quadruple Olympic gold medalist. Props to Johann. (This is her second marriage to go down the toobes btw.) Finally, and you had to know this was coming, she's a bit of a hotsie totsie, something that can only help Canada on the international stage.
Viz: She'll be able to gain the attention of other international big wigs by just walking in the room. One thing I think we can count on is that no one is going to smell as good as Boom Boom at the G8 meetings. Before you know it, Georgie boy will be agreeing to all sorts of softwood lumber deals that he'd never have gone for in the past.
